I'm neutral apart from being a Yorkshire man, but I like the idea of having two different teams in the final.
I'll be there, probably choosing to support Huddersfield but if it's a good game and Warrington win, I'll be happy with that too.

I won't be watching it this year. I'll be at Leeds festival; but even if I wasn't can't say I'd be too bothered if I missed it. Not that I don't think it'll be an intense game, just isn't all that interesting.

| Quote: Nick NJ "I think there is a fair bit of interest from neutrals as it is the first time in a long time that one one of the more traditional big clubs of recent years have not contested the final. Both clubs can only benefit from the exposure which is good for RL.
Myself and about 10 others will be supporting Huddersfield, sporting claret and gold Cheerleading outfits.'"  Good man! |

I'm a neutral, and still haven't decided if I'm going yet. I have been to last 7 finals but for some reason I can't get myself excited about this one..... YET!!

If it is a case of not being interested in a game because your team aren't in it, then fair enough, I can understand that attitude, however I'd say for a RL fan, this is a far more interesting final than many over the past few years.
Wire haven't won the CC for 35 years, and Hudds for 56 years, surely that, and the fact that the game should be a cracker makes it interesting? |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

That's pretty much it. That and I don't really care who wins, unlike when saints are in it as I want the other team to win. |

i know my team are in it this year, but to me its the best final for years , usually the games between us and wire are crackers, as for not been interested when your own team isnt in it, i must disagree even though i havent been every year to the final, i still make sure i watch it whoevers playing.

Agreed. Best final in years.
Even as a Wigan fan our 80s/90s dominance eventually got a bit dull, as has the more recent usual Saints/Leeds trophy-fest. Unless it's two even sides in the final it's not worth getting excited about.
Can't wait. I'll be cheering Hudds - plenty of ex-Wigan lads, and a club I've always wanted to do well, and of course they're playing Wire. I've said for the past few years that if Hudds ever 'clicked' they'd be a force - on their day they could bully most sides but didn't have that spark or cohesion. |
