| So, who will the Bulls fans be cheering on at this year's event?
Some reasons to support Leeds:
- Yorkshire over Lancashire
- Jamie Peacock
- Brother of Sam Burgess (OK he's leaving you now but on favourable terms )
- It will be all the more satisfying beating us next season!
- Many players (e.g. Scruton) and staff (Stuart Duffy - paraded with ex-players for John Holmes on Friday) have good links with Leeds
OR you might just hate Leeds and will be vehemently cheering for whoever we play on every occasion

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

| Leeds for me. They have played the most attractive RL of the season by miles and deserve to lift the trophy.
I don't like them very much right enough but they will still be worthy champions.

Unfortunately it's usually an oncoming train:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7741.jpg |

| as we're not involved i find it hard to raise my interest.
so if i do go to the pub to watch it (which is where i've been the last few years) i'll be hoping for a good spectacle regardless of who wins
though i will admit to wishing it was a different pair this year.

Which is why, if I hope either team wins, I'd rather it was Saints, always go for the underdog as a neutral.
I've been to the last 3 grand finals as a neutral and enjoyed each one, but Im not going this year, seen this match up 2 years running, I think I can miss a third and just head down to the local to watch it instead.

| I might not bother watching it for the first time since sperleague started. Its a bit dull watching the same two teams go round again for the third time.

| I'll be there watching (albeit probably slightly intoxicated by that point), but I really don't care who wins. Just hoping it's a good game.

| Not bothered in the slightest. I went to Warrington yesterday and it was ace but the Super league play offs have been boring dross and the same final for the fourth time in a row proves how less competitive it is getting contrary to what Sky Sports claim.
I doubt I'll even watch it.

| I'll be there as I have been for most GFs. I'll be supporting Leeds for a number of reasons:
Most of the folks I will be with are Leeds fans,
As I work a mile from the ground I get to see them more than any other team,
Yorks v Lancs,
I have had the misfortune to sit with Saints 'fans' for the last 3 GFs.
15 years ago I would not have imagined I would ever want Wigan to win another game, but I was behind them Saturday night.

Indeed. But before 2007 they had never met in a final in the SL era. Is this the only GF fixture that will be played three times? Leeds & Bulls have played twice - what about Bulls & Saints?
I'm surprised by the number who claim they won't be watching. It should be worth watching if only for the hatred that currently exists between the two teams and to see if there are any repercussions after the last game at Headingley. I'd be surprised if it 'erupts' early on (or at all) but there are some individual battles that might get a bit 'tasty' as Stevo puts it (Graham vs JJB, Bailey vs Fa'asavalu, Smith vs Gilmour, Senior vs Wilkin etc).
