Quote: McClennan "I agree. Both Saints and Wigoon have a physical enough game to put them under pressure. I like our composure and muscle against Leeds and like Wigoon's big hits and determination against them.
One thing that Saints fans moaned about over the past couple of years is our perceived inability to match Leeds in poorer weather conditions. I'm more confident this year of facing them because of the way Potter has drilled into us our need to go forward with the ball through the pack. It will be a different Grand Final this year and it's a 50/50 game for me with Leeds one score favourites.'"
I got shot down on here a few weeks back after the Catalans vs Saints game at Knowsley Rd for claiming Saints would go on to win the Grand Final but i'm still just about sticking to that.
I've tried to be positive on our board and back us to edge the game tomorrow but in reality i believe we may just miss out. If that happens you guys will go on and win the grand final imo.
I see Leeds as a good side that have been fortunate to have been in the right place at the right time to get the success they have but are they a great side? I'm not too sure and i think they have more weaknesses then any other 'supposed' best team during any given year in the superleague era and that may well be exploited in the grand final.
The one thing that could cost Leeds imo is going into a final with the favourite tag on their heads. They have a few players who imo look like that tag could go to their heads and they'll believe the Grand Final will be a formality.
The winners of the game tomorrow will go on to win the Grand Final imo.
