| I was more nervous about the Wigan game than I am about this one. The pressure really is all on Leeds. They have the favourites tag and they are trying to defend their crown as Champs as well as trying to make history in going for a third win on the bounce. Me nervous - no way.   |

That's good then because according to your fans it makes you perform better. |

I will get nervous probably on pint 2 Saturday morning when i finally start admitting to myself how much it matters!
This can easily be argued both ways:
Pressure on Saints:
Losing 3 on the bounce is not something any players will want to be associated with
Players must know they have to improve to stand a decent chance
Conversely pressure on Leeds:
Hardly anyone expects Saints to win, so the pressure of expectation is all on Leeds to do it again.
Leeds going for an unprecedented hat-trick of titles - means there is more at stake
Saints have the motivation of revenge for 2007/2008

Just looked at your last 8 games.
Ave score for: 12
Ave score ag: 15
Won 4
Lost 4
Leeds' is...
Ave score for: 37
Ave score ag: 16
Won: 7
Lost: 1
Now all this means very little but as a big NFL fan I know that in the big finals the team with the better defensive stats normally comes out on top.

Depends who your last 8 games were against really.
If our defence holds up as it has done in the last few games then we are in with a shout.

I'm not nervous at all but boy am I excited. I haven't been this excited about a Grand Final since Long's drop goal GF against the Bulls. It's great to be going into the game as underdogs because, perhaps, we'll get behind our team vocally and not give up if Leeds score first or get two scores ahead.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you!

Lets just hope for a memorable game with both sides at their best and with the best team on the day winning. We do not want a result based on the ref's bad decisions. To loose in a classic is not a disgrace

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg |

I dunno about that. I think fans have seen too many poor performances this season to think that because we are underdogs fans will get behind the team to urge them on. It's equally likely that fans will believe the writing is on the wall the minute Leeds go into the lead simply because we have been playing so poorly for so long, and go silent.
However, it will be good to have some noise, from how ever many of us do actually turn up!
I'm neither nervous nor excited this year. It feels nicer than last year when I came crashing down after being so totally convinced we were going to take the cup home with us following our previous performances. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

I don't know why you lot are so despondent. Your team is still full of the same players that have achieved so much success and there's still very little between us.
I really wish every game in Super League had the same intensity as our matches have these last few years.
I haven't anticipated a rugby match as much as I have this one our last two meetings this season stemming back to the cup game at Headingley |
