Even after losing the last 5 GF's in a row, I would bet that every team apart from Leeds & Wigan in 2010 would have swapped places with us to have even got there. Getting to the GF is a great achievement and obviously losing is hard to take but I would rather be there and lose than watch 2 other teams battle it out to become champions.
I dont care how many finals we have lost on the bounce, our aim at the start of the season should be to get to OT and I am desperate to be back there again this year.
We are still the most successful team in SL history (a fact that people seem to forget) and that has naturally brought a lot of gloryhunters out of the woodwork that dont want to turn up if they think we are going to lose but any TRUE Saint would want us there regardless of the result to watch the boys contest the biggest night of the season

Nail on head. I'm a Loiner - 6 CC final defeats and counting - but the notion that I'd rather my forego the hope and expectation that goes with a final appearance beggars belief. It's akin to staying in the house all summer in case it rains.

| Rhinos fan in peace
I've really come to love your guys team, especially considering the brash upstarts at Warrington & Wigan. I'd love Leeds to win again, but if not, you've my (and almost every Leeds fan I know)'s support. TBH the only result I don't want is Leeds winning another GF against you guys.
But think positive. Another win, and you guys will have 20 trophies in the SL era.
(ftr, Wigan have 8. That tends to shut up all that 'fios' moderated).

It's interesting that because over the last 5 or 6 years my respect of Leeds as a club, team and fanbase has really grown. Players like Sinfield, McGuire, Burrow and Peacock are real champions and deserve every one of those winners rings
I've also shared many a pint with some top Leeds fans throughout the numerous semi-finals and finals without an ounce of trouble in any of them - even the final where there was some animosity (2007?) we drank in a pub which was mostly Leeds and had a great time
Good luck for the rest of the play-offs!

| With it now likely to be either Wigan or Leeds we play in the final I firmly want us to lose the semi final. We can't beat either of those sides in a final.

| I can't wait already for next week. I'd like us to play Wire because Hull going to the DW is a fifty point drubbing waiting to happen. Leeds will give them a game, for a bit. The chips are down now. No shirking, no hiding, no coasting. It's all hands on deck and that includes us. I've picked a ticket for the West Stand on Saturday so let's get that cup final atmosphere going.

We can beat both in a final. We just haven't beaten either in a Grand Final since 2006. Let's keep things in proportion.
With the way Saints have been playing this season, should we make it to OT this year we could try the tactic of boring the opposition to death. That could work where playing rugby has failed previously.

Never write off the Saints.

If the pitch is 4 foot deep in water we'll have a chance. Otherwise... Our forwards could win it on the big pitch if they had a kicking game to work off, but they don't. If we get there again let's just hope the occasion gets to the opposition and the bad luck goes their way instead of ours for once...

| You lot are forgetting what grand final night is like. The traffic jams on the way, the dark cold night. The sinking feeling when we fall behind, the inevitability of our demise. The walk back to the car, the realisation that another 100+ pounds have been wasted.
No thanks.
