Grand Final : Fri Oct 09, 2015 12:14 pm  
I hate finals like this, were you want both teams to lose. It's like trying to decide which Williams sister you'd rather sleep with.

I'm sure it'll be a great game but what are people's predictions?

I'm going for Leeds 23-16 Wigan, with hopefully a really dubious decision against Wigan that makes Wane spit his dummy out.

Haha this has got to be the best likeness to a decision between Wigan or Leeds I have ever seen...unfortunately the third option of "neither and castration" wouldn't do much good for tomorrow's game

I'm going to go against a lot here and say out of the 2 I would prefer Wigan to win...purely for the fact I am stuck working in Leeds and have had to endure (since mid-season) about how they were going to win everything, they are better than our 2006 team, they are best team ever etc. and the arrogance of them is unreal - I would love to see them fall at the last hurdle (although I must stress it is possibly that I want Leeds to lose more than Wigan, than wanting Wigan to win more than Leeds)

There's never any hesitation for me; I'd shout for the Taliban Tigers against Wigan. I hope they get stuffed and we get to see Wane's big ugly sulking face all over the screen all night.

However, I have a feeling Wigan will nick it. I can see Leeds going ahead early doors but Wigan will pinch it in last 10 mins.

Sounds like one of Marwan Koukash's franchise ideas that.

Re: Grand Final : Fri Oct 09, 2015 1:52 pm  
Supporting Leeds to the hilt. I also feel Wigan will beat them. They are like us last year, their semi final was so easy it was effectively a bye. Leeds were flogged and lucky to win their semi, so they will be hurting. When your best forwards are 38 and 39 and your dangerous individuals are almost all over 30, that's got to have an impact.

A Leeds win would also be the moral victory, they've been the best side all year and have played the game the right way. Wigan are still playing anti-rugby and are horrendous to watch. Some of the stuff coming from Wane and O'Loughlin has been utterly ridiculous and as disrespectful as you can get. I think Wane has been showing his true feelings, after being muted by the club PR line post-final last year. All the 'It was a moral victory' stuff is just pathetic, punching an unconscious man is a criminal offense and a very serious one at that, how he didn't end up in the slammer is beyond me. If someone did that on a night out in front of the Police, they wouldn't be out by now that's for sure. But rather than condemn him, they are claiming to be the victims in it and lauding Ben Flower as the hero of the piece, something Sky are also guilty of, rather than the 'lucky to be playing at all' dumbass he is in reality.

It's going to be horrendous viewing, Phil Clarke there with his tissues at the ready. Sky really shouldn't be allowing that, time for a complete overhaul of their commentary and presentation teams.

Wish I was a fly on the wall in that dressing room to witness Shaun Wane's charismatic, inspirational speech...

"Tek th'eds off, th'it um sooo fard the tafe fall arrttt muuurrrr muuurrrrr murrrrr hey Sean, smell tha finger, tha's had it stuck up Ben's ringer f' last ten minutes to keep it wam".

Re: Grand Final : Fri Oct 09, 2015 4:38 pm  
It goes against the grain but I would rather see the pies win, the amount of losses in big games to Leeds over the last decade has took it's toll. Our friends from Greater Manchester simply haven't inflicted the same kind of misery in that period.

I also don't want to see the 'Whinos' win their first (yes first) League and Cup double. (so much for being this so-called huge 'super club')


I'm away all day Saturday so won't be even be watching it and will hardly be cheering if I get news the goons have won. Particulary as some of their fans are still spouting over on their board we somehow won it be default last season. But I think the extra days rest, plus a Semi Final win against feeble opposition, will count for so much on the day. The pies by 8-10 points.

That said, I will still have a sly chuckle at Wane, Flower etc should Leeds get a result.
