| At Wembley? I'll go for Leeds 0 Wigan 56 based on their seasons so far.
But hopefully they can at least make a go of it. Wigan are beatable, you just need points on the board. Leeds proved at the DW this season they can beat Wigan and would have done bar some horrendous refereeing.
I'd love to see how Wigan would cope without a key player or two. Say no Sam Tomkins or Frodo for example.
Not a particularly interesting final though. I think Leeds v Cas as a final would have been great.

Two biggest and best supported clubs in the English game, a fair bit of dislike between the fans and some of the players, Sam and Josh the most exciting players currently playing,,,,,,,, think it will be fairly interesting.

You would never catch me with one of those childish signatures: |
|
| Two of Leeds better performances this season cam against Wigan, when really they should have won both games but instead came out with just 1 point.
Saying that i can't see past a Wigan win, Maguire and his players really want it, so i,ll go for 32-10 to Wigan.

| I'm hoping it will be closer than most others are predicting. I'm not expecting Leeds to win but there has only been 2 points between the two teams this season - are any other two teams as evenly matched?
Leeds seem to raise their game against Wigan and after the play-off and Challenge Cup games last year there's a fair amount of history which should generate a good atmosphere.
I think the big Wembley pitch will make for great rugby league with the likes of Tomkins, Charnley, BJB and Watkins playing.
EDIT: My actual predicition is, unfortunately, Wigan 18 - 10 Leeds.

You stole my thread. I do the polls
And how can you have a draw anyway? Do you mean in normal time?
Can't see past a Wigan win but Leeds always do well against Wigan and have played well against them this year. I'd say 28-20 to Wigan

46042.jpg [quote="Bonzo":23qz4bj5]Corrected.
Incidentally, an exclamation mark ends a sentence and does not require a full stop. The first letter of the next word begins a new sentence and should therefore be capitalised. [i:23qz4bj5]Who needs flankers[/i:23qz4bj5]' grammar was actually correct.
HTH.

| Wigan 32 - Leeds 10.
B. Davies was more than a match for the Leeds props in the semi final. If he can't even get into the Wigan squad, god help Leeds.

| Wigan's pack is nothing special. It's the defense as a unit Leeds need to find a way through. Saints did half the job at the weekend, the yards were easy enough to come by, but the brick wall they found on the try line was something we couldn't get through over or around.
Leeds have more pace in the backs which is one benefit, but I don't fancy McDermott's chances of winning the tactical battle with Maguire.

If it's a draw in the final after 80 minutes there is no extra time and there will be a replay this only happens in the final presumably for the RFL to make money out of another game

| I think it may be a lot closer than most on here are predicting.
Leeds seem to have a knack of playing well against Wigan, we will certainly need to be on our guard to bring the cup home.
