They beat us earlier in the year with a cobbled together front row. Leuluai was a machine. We are going to have to be very very good to beat them. I believe we will be.

If it's close going in to the last 20 then I would make Leeds favourites. They've been in that position many times and won due to their composure.

For all Warrington's undoubted talents they do tend to panic when it gets twitchy.

Your best bet is to use your superior handling and speed to blow them away in the first half, however they never give up easily. Even a couple of scores behind Saints in the semi and they were still confident of winning.

This is how I feel about playing you! We always seem to play well in the last 20 minutes so if we're within 4 point with 20 mins to go I'd be thinking we'd win. With both teams performing for the full 80 it should be a great final.

And Burgess probably wouldn't have made the squad anyway so don't worry about him being out.

Our defence needs to go the next level that we know it can go too.

Am confident we can score points against Leeds, attacking wise last time we played we cut them to shreds and should of been 18-0 up.

But if you look at Leeds defence in all the Grand Finals from 2004 they tend to be very strong in defence the most they have conceded was 16 points.

Stop McGuire and Buderus and you stop Leeds. Sinfields good but not the one to watch. Have faith in our attack, i reckon we will stick 20 odd on them!

ISWT!

I don’t travel well either and I wasn’t too pleased about having to get my own food from the sandwich shop at the end of the road today.

Luckily I’ll be watching the challenge cup from the comfort of my own bed whilst the BBC iplayer streams the game. Am I nervous about that?

Nah its happy days!

Just like we did in the quarter final at Hull KR last year??

Our defence has improved since we last met, which is good news coming into the final and the play-offs. We've only conceded 2 tries in the last 2 games whereas before we were shipping 20+ points a game.

When we played you at the HJ you looked like you could score everytime it went to King's side of the field but you just failed to get the points on the board. We tend to finish off more of the half chances and I think that that may prove to be the difference.

That said, I'm nervous as hell about Saturday.

30% Nervous. 70% excitement.

too busy at work but keep thinking about the shivers sent down the spine when walking up the escalators to your level and even more so the steps from there to your seat and seeing the size of the place. I think it will be even better this time around.

Buzzing.

I don't think we'll beat Leeds but I'm going to enjoy the day out all the same.
