Good post

Warriors will be favourites - someone usually is - but it will be a tough game.

Leeds may have under-performed occasionally this season, but they are still a top side and arguably are a better side on their day than some of the sides ahead of them in the league table.

Looking forward to a good game with hopefully Warriors coming out on top.

dont the Leeds fans realise that players these days want to play for the champs and play for free?

I heard a rumour that Hoffman wanted to play for Wigan so much this year that he saved up all his previous years wages from the Storm and is actually PAYING to play for us

I don't think we can read too much into the previous two games this season. The draw we where decimated, we had lockers at 6 an unfit finch and had just come off a gruelling win against hudds and a tough loss at home to wire. At home I feel we where conserving knowing we still had the cas and quins games to come within that week and also had just beat saints and hudds with our two best performances.

I expect leeds to raise their games because its a final and that is dangerous because they have a good side however we seem to have that bit more class about us. I also feel our wigan lads will love being at wembley and will want to write their names in the clubs deep history.

I think wigan will win between 15-20 points and Finchy will get lance todd

Be a close game for 60 minutes, then Wigan will kick on for the last twenty and win by 10+.

I think the OP has been taking journalism lessons from The Sun. Pretty much all the Leeds fans with a couple of dim exceptions, have rubbished the original post on that thread.

On the Wembley subject, it should be a great day out. I mentioned on another thread some very happy experiences of the '94 and '95 finals, even though we lost. I even quite enjoyed last year, although the main problem with my day out was having to do it in a rush and thus missing the pre and post match atmosphere (got there 30 minutes before kick-off and got the train straight after clapping Moz with his trophy) rather than the result.

Wigan will be big favourites, and quite rightly so. The Cup means a huge amount to a lot of Leeds players, for whom it is the one gap in their domestic trophy collection (for all the SL rings knocking around I think only JP has won a CC, and that wasn't for Leeds) so I hope that they can overcome the shambles of a season and at least give you a game.

Like McRhino says, the main thing is that RL has it's annual get-together and shows why its fans are the best there are.

I'm looking forward to the final/weekend. I'm sure it will be a better game than last year although watching leeds get hammered is never a bad thing. what end are you lot in this year.

Leeds in the east, Wigan in the west, I believe.

Thats good, leeds lot at the other end than last year. It was a bit difficult trying not to laugh last year with the leeds fans all around us crying into their beer.

Cant see this being anything but a real tough game, Leeds wont want a repeat of last years effort, I've been to Wembley before when we've carried the favourites 'tag' and come unstuck, 63 v Wakefield, the Sheffield disappointment, I believe we can, and will win, but IMO it should be a close game with a late clincher to seal it our way

I think when you've been caught cheating a few times, people just pay more attention to what the team with priors is up to. As unfair as you feel the questions raised are, you have to accept thats part and parcel of what happens when you try play by your own rules.

ps. you will win the CC and its not close. We have an unbalanced squad, poor gameplans (if we even do have gameplans and while we have a good defence we just dont have the attack to go with it. Wigan by 14+
