| I want Leeds to win. Apart from being beaten by the eventual winners, it's more about Warrington being our bogey team at the minute, and certainly our bogey team when I first started watching Wigan in the mid 1980s.

| Cheers Robinson.
I know it irritates you guys that I go on about our recent record in head to heads against Wigan being strong but I'm sure you all know why as Wire fans this is a feather in our cap. Wigan are the biggest club in the world and as I'm a biased RL fan and think RL is the greatest sport, to me Wigan RLFC is the biggest sports club in the world.
As you say Wire had a decent record against Wigan in the early days of Wigan's greatness in the 1980s and in recent times we have done well against you again. It didn't mean as much if we beat you in the Betts or Millward era when Wigan was at a low ebb but Wigan are now once again a force winning CCs and SLs so for us to get repeated success in head to heads against Wigan is a big deal for me as a Wire fan as it is about beating the best time after time.

| Warrington, just because of Kevin Sinfield's classless "this is for all our doubters" speech after winning the playoffs from 15th last year.

| Why do Wigan players who throw a punch get sent off but when one of the Wolfs does the same thing it's just a penalty...

I think they are playing it sensibly to be honest. Low risk rugby worked most of the time for Wigan with Maguire in charge. It worked for Leeds in the semi final. It could work for them in the final as long as they can match Warrington in the forwards right until the end.

Frustrating isn't it? Pretty much identical incident with two vastly different outcomes. It's not like it's an offence that should be open to various interpretations either. A punch is a punch. McIlorum's red card was the wrong call, allowing the game to continue is the right call, although a sin bin would be fair enough too.

They have only run the ball once in their forty and scored. In this weather they were in two great positions to put extra points on and instead went for the safety of the two. Of course they could still win it, but Wire will score in the 2nd half, Leeds need to start scoring some tries as well.

| Told you.
Still enough time for 'Sir Kev' to punt over a conversion or two though.
