never predict a cup final - form usually goes out of the window

Leeds have the advantage of playing there last year and they will want to atone for that drubbing.

2010 - Warrington beat Leeds. Warrington were above in the table.

2008 - St Helens beat Hull. St Helens were above in the table

2007 - St Helens beat Catalans. St Helens were above in the table.

2006 - St Helens beat Hudds. St Helens were above in the table.

Only twice out of the last 6 finals has the team lower in the table won. They were Hull who beat Leeds and Warrington who beat Hudds. Hull were becoming a very good side and Warrington were only so low in the table because TS had come too late in the season.

I agree it doesn't always go the way of the top team but that doesn't mean form goes out of the window. Wigan are top of the table, current champions, back at Wembley and are rightly favourites. Leeds will have to play very well to win. Saints threw everything at us and still couldn't beat us.

Wigan by a country mile for me.

If Leeds can stop Sam Tomkins they might have a chance,can't see it myself though.

People say this but we do have other quality players in our team.

Tomkins is our best player by a long way but we have seen world-class plays from other players throughout the season even when Tomkins hasn't been playing.

If they shut Tomkins down then we still have Lockers who can throw that killer pass like he has done time and time again for us, we have Leuluai who can dart through at any moment, Finch who can put in a terrific kick of put Hoffman through a gap, we have Charnley who can go the length of the field, Carmont who can create something out of nothing and Pat who is the current MOS.

Granted we are a better team with Tomkins running riot but we have many more threats than just him.

I agree with this. Wigan will no doubt be bookis favourites but Leeds have the players and the big game experience to win.

I can only see a Wigan win. The first step towards winning the double as well.

I like your optimism!

Leeds had beaten Warrington twice in the league before that game. Leeds were favourites with the bookies.

Spot on

He's that bloke who finally signed off Wello's career.

Very true. Remember Sheffield.

Leeds have the players, Wigan the players and the coach. Therefore it's Wigan for me, QED. [sizeGiven my prediction record that probably means Leeds by 60.[/size

Close ish first half, Leeds will tire in the second, with Wigan running away with it.

Leeds 12 v Wigan 32
