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

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

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.

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.

Wigan by about 40
I am biased, But i think Castleford would have given Wigan a better game in the final.

| Quote: Odemwingie "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 mate you do have other class players who can expose teams but he is the main man for Wigan who is all class. |

Can't see where the Leeds threat will really come from. They look slow, predictable and no game plan that is likely to get through the best defence in the league. I know games this season have been close but Wigan will raise their game again for the final and I just can't see Leeds living with Wigan. Only one winner.

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.
[sizeI think the big Wembley pitch [/sizewill make for great rugby league with the likes of Tomkins, Charnley, BJB and Watkins playing.
EDIT
MYTH!!!!
The pitch at Wembley is the same dimentions as the one at the Galpharm

Mcdermott will be completly outgunned tactically by maguire.
I can't stress this enough. Maguire will make him look stupid.
And that's before wigans faster, better drilled, more skill players have even steppe onto the pitch.
Only one winner for sure.

I'm a Wigan fan who will be there and I think we will win easy. 32 - 10 or something like that. Leeds attacks are pretty toothless and I cant see them getting past our defence. There just doesnt seem to be that much structure when Leeds get in the last 20.
If we get more than two scores ahead early on then its game over.

Re Charnley, I thought his actual effort to beat Wellens after breaking from deep in his own half was pretty poor TBH - he could and should have scored. He's a good player but if he wants to make the step up to the next level he ought to be scoring in that kind of space.
As for the final, I want Leeds to win or at worst lose narrowly. Sadly I can't see that happening.
