What are people's thoughts?

Two games that are very difficult to predict. Are St Helens sneaking in under the radar or will Sinfield's, Peacock's &co's last game at Headingly prove to be the extra motivation to make the difference. Leeds are missing a few, most importantly Aiton and Ward.

Will Huddersfield finally perform in a play off game against a top side? They've had plenty of experience in the play offs but never made that final step or will Wigan's experience and home advantage prove crucial?

If I had to choose I'd go for the two home teams however it wouldn't shock me to see a Huddersfield v St Helens final. One thing is for sure, I'm looking forward to what should be a fantastic weekend of rugby.

too close to call really, both Wigan and Leeds, will be clear favourites and rightly so but you just never know,remember 2009? challenge cup semi finals, everyone expected a wigan v saints final but both ourselves and wires upset the odds and played in the final.
it will take a massive effort from us tonight, last week's last second defeat could go either way, it could give us extra motivation or it could have dispirited us.

same for Leeds, they had been on a poor run of form, and if truthful, got lucky last week, but will they use that to their advantage? saints you would think look out of it, but as the nice blokes from SKY tell us every week, you can never write off the saints!

I predict Paul Anderson to spit his dummy and throw his bottle of water away at around the 60 minute mark.
Followed by him blaming the referee, both linesmen & The RFL for the defeat in the post match interviews.

Hopefully after that he'll cop a ban and a fine as his behaviour this year has been a total disgrace.

What you looking at?....Butt Head!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_68072.jpg



You would say obviously Wigan and Leeds have a slight edge being at home but all teams are more than capable this year of making the final. No result in the two semis would really suprise me which is what we all wanted at this stage,the cream of the crop fighting it out for the crown with barely a cigarette paper between them.Should be good

All I know is that, glad we are at home, 2 close games no doubt could go either way, just hope the video ref doesn't spoil it , should be two cracking games, can't wait.

Well what I WANT to happen is a Huddersfield v Saints final cos seen as my mighty 'ull threw the super 8s away, I am just interested in seeing a different team in the final and hudds have a better chance of veating saints than Leeds so yeah.

What I THINK will happen is the complete opposite with Leeds v Wigan in the final and Leeds winning the treble then getting demolished by Brisbane in the world club series.

Quote: meast "a total disgrace? or having an opinion?
Having an opinion is fine. Blaming everyone but your players & yourself, every time your team loses, isn't.
Throwing bottles around like a kid having a tantrum is a disgrace.

Still hope you beat Wigan though icon_lol.gif

'when my life is over, the thing which will have given me greatest pride is that I was first to plunge into the sea, swimming freely underwater without any connection to the terrestrial world' Yves Le Prieur, the real inventor of the aqualung:



I think it will be a Leeds v Hudds final.

Both look very one sided games on paper. Leeds at home in the final games for Peacock, Sinfield and Minogue will be up for it. They have been the class outfit this season and will want to go out with a bang at OT. Saints are the Man United of Super League. Up there and challenging, but god knows how with an average squad and some awful performances. Telling that neither Roby or Walmsley are fully fit for this one I think. Saints can't defend for toffee against anyone with any genuine pace or class. Leeds have both. As a Saints fan I just hope it doesn't become one of those games where retiring prop forwards are queuing up to take sentimental last minute conversions.

Leeds by 20.

Wigan v Huddersfield looks even more one sided to me. Huddersfield were the form team of the 8s, they were the only of the top 4 to carry any sort of form through it. With 20 seconds to go against Leeds they looked good for a home semi and a potential Grand Final. Post 'that try' they looked absolutely crestfallen. The kind of dejection and physical and emotional embodiment of failure that will simply ruin a season. I wouldn't be surprised by an absolute shellacking at the Dave Whelan.

Wigan by 40.

Entirely predictable outcome. Not quite forty but one sided regardless.
