Not generally fussed. Hope to see a good game. I suppose if pushed I wouldn't mind seeing Adrian Morley and Tony Smith get their hands on the trophy.

| No preference but I think Wigan will win. Both teams have played Hudds & Leeds in the Playoffs and Wigan have only conceded 3 tries compared to Wire's 8. When we played Wire we didn't have a load of good field position yet came away with 4 tries.
GF's are usually tight contests and think with their defence and probably a greater patience Wigan will edge it.
I don't have anything against Wire winning, so long as it's not by a Briers drop-goal.

| Warrington have a better squad and IMO also a better coach. IIRC for the Huddersfield game their 19 man match-day squad were the players given the 1 to 19 squad numbers at the start of the season and this being the same squad as went close in 2012 - that picking from strength and experience could prove invaluable on Saturday.
Additionally Tony Smith has already ended the Leeds Championship winning drought after a 32 year wait (and laid the platform for every GF success at Leeds since IMO), ended a Warrington Challenge Cup drought after a 35 year wait and a Warrington League Leaders drought after a 38 year wait so why not a first Championship for Warrington in 58 years. A coach who has been at the heart of changing losing cultures into winning ones at three SL clubs.
If Warrington do it they will have defeated all the remaining top four sides in this year's play-offs so it will be hard to argue that they haven't deserved it but then the same can be said of Wigan if they prevail.
I hope it's a cracker for the SL whoever wins.

| Dont care really.think this generation of Wire players deserve a title and last chance for many of them so i will probably root for them.
Wonder if wigan win,will they get the same disrespect we got for 'coasting' parts of the year and finishing in 4th position.

| I want both teams to win/lose for different reasons. I'd love Ratboy's farewell game to end in tears, but then I'd also like to see Briers blubbing too. I would like to see Smith win, but it would also be good to see a major rival with 2 back to back defeats in the GF.
My gut feel is that Wigan will win. they have a great record in finals, and have a very mean defence

| No preference whatsoever, other than a good advert for the sport. Choosing any team from over t'hills is against my religion anyway.

| Wire at a push just for the sake of Adrian Morely been a great RL player for all the clubs he has played for was lucky enough to see him play in a GF in Oz for the roosters , he is one of those players i have always followed regardless of the team he has played for only down side briers would get a winning medal

So would Chris Bridge - my least favourite current SL player.
A Wigan win would be based on largely bringing through their own players, whereas the Wolves have tried to buy success.
Both Wigan's main coaches have played for the Rhinos - so we taught them all they know.
My hope is for a great game with the result based on the players' efforts & not due to any official's - on or off the pitch - intervention.
If it's decided on a Briers drop goal in the last minute I won't mind, though the inanities that would cause to emanate from the Sky commentary team would be most irksome.
