Just a quick question

I think wire will do the double. Not the [ireal[/i double of league and carniege 9s but the CC and GF.

Are people just voting for Leeds because they think they will win or hope they win?

For me I cant see past a Wire win.

and we all know which double counts

Cant see past a Wire win . Leeds looking a bit light up front.

Looking forward to a great day out at Wembley being abused from all directions in our Wigan Shirts.

Hope its a draw and they knock the crap out of each other again on Wednesday @ Sheffield .

Wish I could argue with that but I agree totally. There is something about them this year that looks unstoppable somehow. I was actually sorry that Saints got beat the other week (am I really saying this!) as I think it would have been a better final but you never know

Apart from Bridge, I think Warrington have everyone back from injury were we have 2/3 integral players missing as do Saints and Leeds.

Who are the 3 integral players Wigan have out (not being churlish, genuinely don't know as I haven't seen you play for a few weeks).

We look like we'll only have Leon and Soliola out for the play-offs, which is the healthiest we've been all year by a margin (albeit Leon is a MASSIVE miss the way he's played this year).

Maybe not 3 integral players but we do have McIllorum, Hansen, Mossop, Bailey, O'Carroll, Gleeson & Carmont (I think Gleeson and Carmont may be ready to return now though)

Leeds have a first choice front row out.

Saints have Pryce and almost an entire pack out don't they?

Maurie to play against Cas, Ashurst and Soliola out (if you consider Soliola as pack rather than centre).

Team and pack for Cas looks reasonably strong with a good bench, probably:

Wellens
Gardner
Gidley
Meli
Foster
Lomax
Eastmond
Graham
Cunningham
Hargreaves
Wilkin
Flannery
Moore

Maurie
Puletua
Clough
Roby

I assumed he'd miss a few games? Doesn't look too bad for Saints really.

Grix is the only player not available. Bridge will not play at Wembley but is available.

The original post has soon lost it's thread.

Which will make you stronger still for the playoffs?

Like I said, I think Wire will win at Wembley and I think they'll do the double.

Wire have dropped Myler for the final

I think Warrington will win it, Peacock is a massive loss for Leeds. Having said that they know how to win finals so it should be a great game.

I just keep thinking about what Wire did to our pack at the DW when we had a depleted pack. It will take a HUGE effort from Leeds just to get a foothold up front. I'd say Wire by 10

Like many others above, I can't see how Leeds will live with Wire's pack.

Could be an interesting omen for the playoffs.

Leeds

Leeds, Danny Mcguire has been immense recently and I can see him doing alot of damage to Wire. COME ON LEEDS!!

Wire by 22

My initial thought are wire are favourites but you can never rule leeds out even without peacock there are still tons of match winners in that side

50/50 should be a great game
