That doesn't mean they'll win.
Anyone who's not excited about this one, should be.
Both teams are well balanced and will be highly motivated. Also, both now have experience of the big match atmosphere. It literally could go either way. It could be close, or it could be a run-away. There is no real favourite, and no one can second-guess the outcome beforehand.
It has all the makings of a cracker. |

Agree with Cruncher...I think we (Wires) go in a slight under-dog (given league positions etc) but both teams are well drilled, have a good defence and I think evenly matched all over the pitch. Should be close, might not be very expansive...but exciting...and the best team on the day will take it. Should be a cracking atmosphere...enjoy!

Could go either way but I do have a feeling the old ‘its always your year’ chant will be in the bin after Saturday. I hope I’m wrong and will enjoy the day regardless and give the leaving coaches and players the send offs they deserve.

We beat the best defence and attack in the league (by a mile) 30-10 about 5 weeks ago... |

And then beat Warrington 26-6 only two weeks later. |

If we win it will be a great send off for Wane and the rest. If we lose I’ll be fed up for five minutes. Remember that the majority of wire fans are actually decent people who haven’t seen their team win a championship in a long time. Also, I reckon that you need to have a period with no success to appreciate it properly. I might change my mind after a few pints on Saturday though.

Will have lost my voice after 10 minutes. I was looking at the Oktoberfest in Albert Square, but it’s £10 entry. One of the excellent pubs nearby will have to do.

As you say 5 weeks ago.....
Saturday is a whole new ball game and Warrington look ready to finally get the Grand Final monkey off their back IMO. |

Might be imagining it, but I feel we've tended to do well when needing to 'manage the conditions' in the past.
Hopefully doesn't ruin the game as a spectacle, don't want a repeat of the 2013 Challenge Cup! |

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!
