I'm a Leeds fan, it's going to be a very tough game, it could go either way realy, two great teams, I am sure it will be a great final either way.

It would be nice to see James Graham leave Saints with a winners medal, he's been a great player for you guys.

All you can do as a team is go to OT, give your all and that's all you can do.

The way this year has gone, I won't be making any predictions as both teams are as good as each other, it'll maybe come down to an error, a bit of luck, a piece of individual brilliance etc, whatever happens, have a great day and good luck

Forecast up to now is dry on Saturday, just looked at the pressure charts on te MET office. If this is the case, it'll be a day for good entertaining rugby

Quote: Dux "I'm not sure Leeds will be as cool headed this time round. They have been playing pretty harum scarum stuff all year and they have a very young and excitable backline. It's been working for them lately, but I'm not sure it's the right approach for a final. I think if Gaskell copes with the pressure and provides a good kicking game we'll be able to grind them down with our big pack and force mistakes out of them. You never quite know what's going to happen in a final, though; teams do strange things.'"
Leeds this year have actually reminded me of Warrington, last year.
They look very strong and can play some entertaining stuff, but on the days when the defence holds up against them they get frustrated, seem desperate to offload and throw wild passes all over, getting them into difficulty.

I think both sets of players should be confident. We have both made the Grand Final from outside the 2 and are both playing pretty good stuff. I think from a Leeds POV that if we can get the defensive intensity somewhere near to the standard set Friday we will be in with a chance. I cant see this being a blow out either way anyway. I think both teams are fairly even matched and have threats all over. Forget about 07,08 and 09 because both teams are totally different now, both with personel and they way they play.

Anyway, I have a lot of respect for the Saints organisation mainly down to the battles we had over that 3 or 4 year period. I have still never seen games at the quality or intensity before that or since. I have a feeling that Saturdays game may be heading back up towards that standard too.

I can also say, I hadnt looked forward to any of those 3 GF's as much as im looking forward to this. Maybe because we are both the "wrong" teams to get there but more to do with the adversity we have gone through to get there.

Lets hope for a great game and good luck

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



Only 6 days of squeaky bums left.
