Shoey is Schoey.
Leeds have the pre match big story as Peacock, Sinfield and Leuluai are retiring.
I was smiling as KC said he was pleased the Leeds players were ending their playing career in a Grand Final as he had done.
Lets hope we can give them the same unhappy ending that Cunningham had.

Well, we were everyone's big bad wolves after last year's final, plus they'll all want a fairy tale ending for Sinfield and Peacock, and from the tone of some 'neutral' reviewers, we're somehow even at fault for having had the easier semi this year. So maybe a bit of anti-Wigan feeling is understandable, though I don't think I've detected as much of that as the OP.

Best to wait and see what happens on Saturday.

As Eddie Hemmings, or some prat like him said back in 2010, the script was written for a glorious end to King Kieron's career. Look how that turned out.

We also have the much smaller away dressing room at Old Trafford for the game as well.

If Leeds cant win with all these little perks well they have nothing to moan about as far as I'm concerned.

Wigan's name coming after Leeds on the tickets

That's some Grand Final losing excuses Jon Wilkin would be proud of

Got to be on a wind up mission!

No point turning up now.

Going to sell my ticket. Doing the Wigan walk before the game has even started.

Contact Leeds, there's a waiting list don't you know.

No point trying to flog it round these parts because we've only sold 27 tickets according to Sir Kevin Sinfield (not the real one as far as I'm aware but could be wrong).

I honestly can't work out if you're from Hull/Salford/Widnes etc on a wind up trip, or an 8 year old from Wigan?

There's bound to be a lot of interest in Sinfield and Peacock playing their final games. If anything though you'd have to say Leeds' injury list should make Wigan favourites - Aiton, Ward, JJB, Sutcliffe would all be in the 17 if fit. But that's part of sport - if Wigan win nobody will remember Leeds' injury list.

Nice try Charlie lol

On the Leeds board they're on about having only 16 players fit, possibly even 15. Is that true?

I'm looking forward to a great battle between this seasons best 2 teams. Nothing in it for me, wouldn't dare call it either way. All the media garbage is just a way of selling the final with a (fairy tale) slant. Seen it before in previous finals with the likes of Jimmy Lowes and KC.
Remember Pie fans, every recent GF we have played in against either Stains or Wire the media have had us down as clear under dogs. You know what the outcome was so their opinions mean diddly squat, don't let it wind you up and enjoy a great battle on Saturday.
