Quote: mikej "Sinfield did do well on Friday BUT as the cup final showed, if you pin him back then Leeds are very few on kicking options. This allowed Hogson and the wingers to basically work out where the kicks were going before they were even sent. Maguire being back will help but a full strength Wolves side has Briers, Myler, Hodgson and Higham/Monaghan as options so hopefully Leeds will spend more time in reverse than going forward.'"


I think they'll have learnt from that and McGuire and Burrow will take more responsibility than they did at Wembley.

Quote: TF and the wire "The present format has only been with us since the advent of Superleague, 18 years? Pre SL it was the premiership play-off which we won in 1988 and before that in the mid 70s. So we haven't won the play off comp in 24 years to be correct.

If you mean the league then its 12 months since we last won it.'"

No. I, and everyone else mean the competition that determines the champions each season. Which Wire haven't won since the 50's. The league leaders have only been declared champions in 33 seasons of Rugby League. The rest of the time the champions have been decided by the play offs. The Premiership did not decide the champions, the current SL playoffs do.

1895/96 - League position
1896-1901 - county leagues
1901/02 - 1905/06 - League position
1906/07 - 1914/15 - Playoff
1915-1919 - no comp
1919/20 - 1938/39 - Playoff
1939-45 - no comp
1945/46 - 1961/62 - Playoff
1962/63 - 1963/64 - League
1964/65 - 1972/73 - Playoff
1973/74 - 1997 - League
1998 - 2012 - Playoff

Also your own club website says Warrington last won the Championship in 1954/55.

Correct. Why the LLS debate continues astounds me.

Quote: WireFanatic III "Why are we the favourites? We're going to be playing a team that has won the GF 4 times in the last 5 years, who have been in the final 7 times and won it 5 times and are the only team to win it from 5th place.

Yes, we've beaten them twice at Wembley in the last 3 years, but that was in our house; we're playing next week in Leeds' domain.

I think the Rhino's will still be favourites, and I prefer us to be the underdogs, makes us perform better!'"



Leeds 7/4, Warrington 8/15, so pretty clear favourites.
You are right though, Leeds seem to know how to win big games and you will have to be on your mettle to beat them.
Should be a cracker !

As much as I want Warrington to put Leeds to the sword I think Leeds will be going all out to prove that winning the final from 5th wasn't a one-off or a fluke. Warrington have to come out and play like they can, if they get dragged into an arm wrestle Leeds will take the spoils.

Jamie Jones-Buchanan "I'd never forgive myself if a child of mine was born in Lancashire" And neither would any Lancastrian.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1673.jpg



Wire seem to have too many aces. Myler has come on leaps and bounds, MM is outstanding, unsung hero Riley deserves more plaudits than he gets and Westwood/Hill the rest of the pack are the best in SL. Smith is the right coach to take into a final but Leeds have something as regards team spirit and living the dream plus some very useful players. Think the bookies have Wire giving 6 points but I reckon this game will hinge on a couple of errors. Leeds made hardly any against Wigan but Warrington could be prone.

Can Warrington win, course they can but Leeds haven't got to the final by default.
