| It's got to be Leeds then we can claim they are not legitimate champions as they didn't play-off against us. 
Saints played off against us and won whereas if Leeds win it they will have done so without playing off against the side finishing second. You can't claim to be champions having avoided a team with a far better league record than you in the play offs.
Now had we a top five system in place rather than the idiotic one we have now, they would have had to beat us to get there assuming we lost to Saints in our first game (as we did). Then I'd probably support Saints had they done so. |

| Quote Cronus="Cronus"Can't stand Leeds. From stroppy sly dirty McGuire to miserable moaning Sinfield to flat-track coward Bailey to big fat bitter Schofield, hate the lot of 'em. And their fans. They think Leeds is the centre of the world and love to masturbate their own self-importance. It's almost like they think Leeds is the gleaming capital of a small oil-rich country called Yarkshire instead of the dreary toilet it actually is.'"
But...

So what? They did not beat us.
Under a top five system they would have had to beat both us and Wire at some point. The competition is supposed to be a play off not a knock out and if you don't play-off against a side then you can't really claim it's representative. Saints didn't beat Wire either which just shows what a rubbish format the current system is compared to the top five system. |

A few years ago with Longy, Cunningham, Price etc it would have been anyone but Saints. But this current lot have a certain admirable quality about them, with one or two exceptions.
Although I'm not a McDermott fan, it would be good to have a British coach pick up the prize, although I still intensely dislike some of the Leeds players.
So, toss coin, Saints. What is the point of rivalry if your rivals always lose in finals?

My dislike of Leeds doesn't particularly override the Saints rivalry. Therefore I'm mostly neutral and without much of a care.
Not hard to understand. |

I said Leeds after Friday night but the more the weekend has progressed the less bothered I am. I just want a good spectacle now.
