reading this actually brought a smile to my face.


Too flaming right! The champion side is champion for a reason no matter who it is. no team is undeserved of the title in super league.

I reckon it will be a cracking game, I can't call it. Anyone know what the bookies are saying?

The prices suggest they are saying Saints to win by 4.

Great article and fully agree...both teams have suffered adversities this season - Saints with injuries and no home ground, Leeds with injuries to key players, players out of position and the loss of 2 front rowers midway through the season - and both have carried on going about their business and really stood up to be counted at the crunch time of the year when it really matters. A great effort by both teams.



Hopefully its about time for our Old Trafford luck to change, but in a similar respect to your point, if Leeds can go from 5th to the Gf and win it then hats off to them also will be a fantastic achievement by them. Lets just hope the game is refereed by a decent rule book and not by some clown thinking fans turn up to watch them and next week, regardless of the result, we are all talking about rugby.

Another great story about saturdays grand final is that it will contain more homegrown english players than any other grand final since it's inception in 98.

For me, this is vindication to saints and leeds who blood so many young players, sometimes resulting in a lack of consistency in the weekly rounds.

Both teams fully deserve to be there, it really is the best grand final story told and hopefully the game will live up to this.
