Is anyone going? Presumably anyone that is going will be a Catalans fan for the day.

Undecided but ive always said if Leeds dont win things i want Saints to ive got to be honest. I always thought losing to us in GFs year after year mustve tough for them but i always found Saints fans to be very gracious in defeat
Had we beaten Hull 3 times it wouldve been a different tale.

I think Saints are a great club. They do everything right from CEO Mike Rush down Saints are always good.

Plus i like being in a group of only 4 to have won Grand Finals. Totally get why thats not a good thing and understand why Catalans would be peoples choice.

Saints will win by plenty tho i think.

Hopefully Saints. Really can’t do with the RFL darlings winning it, would just be another nail in the British RL coffin. Could you imagine the spunk fest if Catalans and Toulouse both won their respective comps?!!
It was pretty embarrassing on Friday night stood amongst Leeds fans chanting Catalan.

Sts for all the reasons Marty mentions, plus my mother in law is a season ticket holder.

Catalans for me, don’t like their cynical play, but don’t want saints to match our GF wins and 3 in a row.
Also better for the game if Cats win.

And another reason for a Cats win, just to p*** off Local game for local people types.

Catalans, but I think Saints have a couple of of extra gears in them that Catalans don't have.

Yep, that’ll be great won’t it. Could just imagine a foreign team
Winning the football Premier League, that’d go down a treat.

I know and worst of all French, but could be worse their not German, of course where not Football, after all most football fans still can’t stand <REMOVED - Probably needs a bit of a wording rethink?> playing for them.

Not sure. I think Saints deserve it as the best team. While they aren't as cocky as in the days of 2006, we don't want them pulling too far ahead of us in terms of trophies!

I could live with Catalans winning for the global good of the game, especially if it meaningfully raises the profile of our sport in France. That said, I wouldn't lose any sleep if James Maloney played his final game without winning - if only Tetevano had his luck with the disciplinary and avoiding bans...
