Hull KR or Leigh Leapards

Let me think

Whether we like it or not Rovers' name is on the trophy this year. Best to accept it and be pleased for friends/family members some of whom have never experienced winning a major trophy. Everyone complains when it's the same teams getting silverware - you can't have it all ways.

Leigh

Think man for man leigh are stronger no doubt

But as always with finals pressure is a funny thing and on the day

Would rather see Leigh win. And that would be the same regardless of who they are playing (except us). Would be some achievement for the newly promoted team to win silverware.
I also quite like Beaumont now. Used to think he was an idiot. Mainly based on when he'd get drunk and take to twitter. Having seen more of him this year and heard him on Sky/BBC, he comes across really well. Loves his club and loves the sport.

Part of me wants Rovers to win, just for some of my old mates, who did actually go during their wilderness years and who are genuine RL fans. That part of me though was removed when I lost the end of my little finger to a mallet tendon injury. For the way Lilley and latterly Hudgell have tried to do us over, Leigh, by 52 points, with Tom Briscoe getting 6 this time.

48 g 2 to Leigh.. 4 for Briscoe. Win/win. They don't get the pot but my red and e mates can claim solace in an improvement on 2015!

Possibly, but there is also the alternative narrative, the one that says Leigh's name is 'on the cup'
The narrative that says that as the story of the season (newly promoted side upsetting the odds, successful club re-brand, positive air about them, a feeling of destiny calling) it is somehow written in the stars for Leigh to complete a remarkable twelve months by winning at Wembley?

Think it's a 50/50 call. It could be almost anything from a 30pt Leigh victory to a 30pt win for rovers, and all points in-between!
Having said all that, I'm going for rovers to prevail narrowly, around a 4/6pt win. I've also had a sneaky feeling about them since the start of the season, especially after Good Friday ( ), that they would be in one of the major finals, and so it has come to be!!!

I’d be pleased for the genuine kr fans getting the monkey off their back.
I’ve seen folk suddenly wearing kr tops that I’ve never seen wear them before
However since experiencing the unpleasantness of kr since the 80’s and having met Lilley and Hudgell,
I sincerely hope leigh win comfortably.

Fook mates!
I shall be unabashedly voicing my support for the Leigh Leopards.

Some showing more compassion on here than they would show for us.
We’ve all got friends and family who support that mob. Not my problem.

If my son was playing for the Dobbins tomorrow I’d hope he was man of the match in a losing team.

Much nicer people in this forum then myself, I hope they lose and that my mates are crying down Wembley way

I've lent one of my mates 200 to go down for the weekend.
It doesn't mean I want the team he supports to win.
Thats just ridiculous. icon_lol.gif

One reason for magnanimity is they contributed massively to the best sporting moment of our lives. They created such jeopardy to our 2016 victory with the "Never win at Wembley" for decades, that the sweetness of lifting the hoodoo was unparalleled, and something neither side will experience tomorrow. It's a pity for them but we should acknowledge that they raised a mere cup win to something more foundational.
