I honestly don't care who wins SL as long as it's not Wigan. Anti-Rugby at it's worst and they are only ever a strong referee away from getting pasted. Their discipline is an absolute joke, as is their approach to the sport.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

Their approach to the way the game is played is a disgrace - and that is a view shared with a majority of Super League head coaches. Leeds vs Saints for old times sake. |

The new young dynasty of super saints is coming to a ground near you.
Welsby-Dodd-Simms-Eaves-Rizzelli, not Eastmond...the future is coming.:Dwarfs, Gnomes, Halflings/GNOME2.JPG |

Absolutely spot on.
A Saints versus Wire or Leeds for me, probably Wire v Saints for fast open attacking rugby. Anything with Wigan and there "road kill" tactics might put a few neutrals off from attending the final.
Wigan's tactics are not a good example for young kids on how the game is played |

Looking at tonight's attendance it seems the Wigan fans have had enough of their tactics as well. |

You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

Love the irony of Stains fans slagging off Wigan's 'brand' of Rugby. This was a team that based it's success on 'piggybacking' up the field using quick PTB's, which made for penaltyfests and a game which, although lightning quick, was very, very hard to enjoy as a purist.
The rules have been changed to stop this, and it's Wigan who have adapted to it better. Games are much more about the tactical battle now, but we still have good, entertaining rugby.

Getting 5 men into the tackle and holding down for three quarters of an hour doesn't make for entertaining rugby for anyone other than the most staunch Wigan fans. |

Were Wigan not playing them in the Semi, I'd have like to have seen Saints in the Grand Final this year.
Would be fantastic to see them lose a FIFTH straight one! Only three more, and they'll have lost as many grand finals in a row as we won Challenge Cups!

Better to reach the GF and lose than to not get there at all.
Better to lose 5 GFs on the spin than to have to cheat the salary cap to avoid relegation. 
I'd certainly rather reach, and lose, another GF than settle for defeat at the weekend. |
