Doesnt surprise me that Bentham has been given it. Does anyone know why Uncle Albert hasnt been reffing in a while? or is it just coincidence? |

Not that it matters much, but Buderus was missed off the list, So added him on.

No Ian Smith. That has got to be a good sign.

Like everyone has mentioned already it's going to be a cracking game! One which everyone in Rugby League, The Media & The world probably didn't imagine.
But at the end of the day the play offs are there for a reason. It's all well and good playing the best Rugby throughout the regular season (ala Wire & Pies this time around) but if you don't put in the shift during the play offs this is what happens.
We think we can beat you, and you think can beat us, this is what the play offs is all about!
Our performances of late have been great to watch, all be it my heart is starting to disagree and you have been dark horses for most of the latter stages of SL.
All the best for the game and have a great day out!

I'm looking forward to this Grand Final, which is weird because after four losses on the bounce I should be feeling distinctly worried. But I'm not. I'm not assuming we will win. Rather, I'm just glad we are there to have a stab at winning! And surprised that we are there, too.

Think it will be a great game and personally was happy just to get to the GF. Don't think there is any pressure on us(Leeds) sure you guys feel the same. Tough to call, saints have been playing well but we have picked up at the right time.
If we do lose couldn't think of a more worthy opposition. Big achievement making the last 6 GF.
