I have no doubts whatsoever that if Wire beat Wigan and we beat Hudds (a BIG if in my opinion, I fancy the Giants strongly), Wire will do us in the final.

If we are to win our semi, I genuinely want Wigan to win through <shudder>

Spoken like a true Leeds fan. Anyone who wants Huddersfield to win needs a post code check.

In the other, I hope it's a good game where rugby league and the best side on the day are the winners.

That said Sam Tomkins is starting to annoy me already though so I hope Tony Smith's (and James Lowes') Warrington (with Mathers, Morley and Carvell) are that side.

I want Hudds to win and my postcode is 130 miles from Headingley, so I might just back up your idea.

I want Leeds to win a Grand Final obviously, but I like watching the CC Final as a neutral and I've found that the last 3 of them have just sort of merged into one big "Saints subdue earlier spirited resistance to win/retain cup against ANOther victim" events. I want a change.

I never said I wanted St Helens to win the final and if it were at all likely I'd really like to see them lose it.

Not sure about that.

Don't we, as true Leeds fans, want them supping in celebration for a few days afterwards?

It's an interesting argument.

Would Potter turn a blind eye to a post match celebration? He looks the sort to have them back in Sunday morning rehabbing and preparing for the next game.

My problem is that I support any Yorks side if it's playing a team from the other side of the Pennines, so I want the Giants to win, but I also want Saints to be knackered when they play us.
The other game is easier, I hate Wigan so come on the Wolves.
Then reverting to type I want the Giants to beat the Wolves at Wembley.
Otherwise Saints to lose getting battered in the process, trouble is that will really fire them up to want to win the Grand Final.
