The big thing from this game is the loss of revenue for the losing club. A Wembley trip is very lucrative.

Yes, of course I would. Schools have contingency plans such as head teachers and department heads who can cover lessons. Being at the birth of your child is one of life's essential things. The only people who I would not expect to be given that time off are those in the armed forces, as dashing back from the front line isn't really a viable option. Working in a law firm isn't a valid excuse to miss out, and if it were me, I would tell them where to stick their refusal to grant leave and walk out. Money, houses and cars are all very nice if you like that kind of materialistic thing, but people are more important, particularly your young ones.

Just who is this law firm you work for? I'm going to send them a letter.

I agree with this, for saints at least this is more important financially and the chairman down will be well aware.

Hmmm great minds think alike

Think he is being a bit presumtious there, and a bit disrespective to the other teams in thinking that whoever wins is gonna have the disadvantage of having to play four games.

There is nothing to say that whoever wins on Sunday will get a bad draw and lose in the next round.

totally true that mate!! but the team that wins on sunday wont be far of the final in my opinion

there well could be an upset in the next round but the winner of this could also get fev, fax or the vikings?

Or Wigan.

So when do we reckon it's going to kick off? Chance of a first tackle sending off ala Morley for GB? Or do we think it'll be when a certain player comes off the bench for Leeds?

He said the team that lose will have the advantage of 4 free weeks, It does sound a little cocky but he didn't say the winner will definitely have 4 more games.

That could be a key moment.
Bluey has already said we are aiming to win the penalty count so discipline will be crucial.

Leeds have 4 players in the top 25 penalty machines so far this year, Saints have non www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 On a seperate note, i think the whole ryan bailey/ graham thing will pass peacefully (ish) but there may be trouble elsewhere, but i hope not.

Leeds will win this hands down

Oh ok then

Have you got this Saturday's lottery numbers too please

Read the YEP (Yorkshire Evening Post) this week and Leeds will be aiming to keep the penalties down. Just hope it doesn’t turn into an obsession though because every time you touch a saints player it’s a potential penalty because they have to score in every set

Hopefully it’ll be a game of skill and good hits. At the end of the day if you want to see angers flare then you might as well set up a Brian Noble Appreciation stall in the middle of Wigan whilst wearing your saints top and not at this game that should be played by professional sportsmen with professional sportsmanship.
