| It'll need wire performance of epic incompetence (Cas 2017 GF x 2) for Leeds to make it. Saints have the other sewn up IMO.

How many have we had of late in RL? Genuine question.....68,525 last year between the 2nd and third best supported clubs in the country and not a French or Canadian side in sight.

Wrong, I’d rather them win as I think a Saints vs Warrington Final would be much more enjoyable for everyone and I think it’d be the easier game.

Honestly don’t know what to expect from Leeds next week. We have history of belying our league form in knockout games but this is a different lineup/coach nowadays.'"
Of course but for Leeds there’s almost more of a need for them to win with the way this season has gone.

| Catalan are capable of beating Saints but their problem is the play a very "niggly" game and consequently concede a lot of penalties.
I expect it to be tight for the first hour then Saints to gradually get on top

No not really, won't change most minds on how this season has gone and we've had plenty of trophies to celebrate including a couple of CC recently. Catalans have no chance of top 4 so this is there big chance not only this year but best shot of a trophy in 10 years. Saints haven't won or even reach a CCF in a decade and are so far ahead in the league they could rest players either side of Wembley and have a great shot of a treble.

That’s rubbish, so you’re saying that winning the Challenge Cup won’t improve what has been a dreadful season? Also there’s a lot of players with futures on the line so this is a huge chance for them.

So is making sure they stay in SL and most futures will already have been decided by now so the CC won’t have a barring on that. Winning the CC improves any of other 3 teams season just as much if not more.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| Probably Saints - Warrington. I'm not sure if the Catalans have the fire power to beat Saints, much as I'd like to be proved wrong, and Leeds's priority has to be SL which is worth MUCH more than a Wembley appearance.

Nah, the scrote will get away with it like he normally does.
Hoping for a North West final.
Will be interesting to see how Leeds go. I dont think they will get their own way in the Qualifiers so an interesting few weeks ahead !

| Most neutrals want to see Catalans vs Warrington at Wembley, with Catalans winning, and a second Muslim (Fouad Yaha) scoring a try. That would create history and may open up more Middle Eastern countries to rugby league.
