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.

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?

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.

Leeds and i think they will.

Danny Buderas was class against Warrington and i think he will run the show again on Saturday.

Leeds.

Just so Ginger Jimmy Graham can have one last public blubbing session before he heads off dawn sarf.

Can't stand either club to be honest! Leeds uz of what maguire the cheat did and saints cuz it's saints.

I've always said I support 2 teams in RL. Wigan and whoever is playing Saints. Therefore I'm a Leeds fan on sat but hope maguire has a stinker! 

What would I like to see - the GF abandoned due to fighting and the SL championship declared vacant for 2011, with both 17s, non-playing squad members present at the game and all coaching and backroom staff banned sine die for their part in the melee.

That's the only result that would make me happy.

This thread is hilarious! Leeds can't be considered champions as they haven't faced Wigan in the play-offs? Sorry pal, but if Wigan had managed a victory at some point then we could have at least had the opportunity to play Wigan. To reach both finals deserves a little credit, however painful it might be!

I want Leeds to win because it would be hilarious to see Saints choke a FIFTH successive Grand Final.

rlI think it might be time to bring out "Old Faithful" and see if there's life in the old dog yet, having worked three years on the trot.rl

You couldn't be more wrong. The fact that teams from 3rd and 5th have reached the grand final proves that the play off system works. It could probably do with tweeking a bit though.

Just hope it's a great game.
