Of All The Teams...... : Thu Oct 08, 2015 9:45 pm  

Grand final on Saturday and it's the two teams I really cant stand the most. Who are we wanting to win, personally I would like to see them both lose

What's everyone's thoughts

There are no winners. I don't really want Leeds to win the treble, but then again I don't want Wigan to win anything at all ever. There's a part of me feels churlish for wanting to deny the various Leeds all time greats who are bowing out. I've come to accept it.

Watch 2005 instead.

My dislike of Wigan is bordering on unhealthily obsessive. I would always go for the Yorkshire side anyway, plus the group of old mates I go with are all lifelong Leeds fans. But I would have traded it all in to ensure England going out of the yawnion WC early.

I think I can put the rivalry issue aside for this one. If you ignore who it is and simply look at the style of rugby the two teams have played throughout the season, surely any purist rugby league fan has been more entertained with the attacking flair and offload game of Leeds rather than the brute strength approach that Wigan have.
Although, to give them some credit, I think Wigan have got a real prospect in George Williams. What I wouldn't give for a kid of his talents to emerge out of our academy.

Through gritted teeth I will be going for Leeds... £70k for Bateman basically means they stole from us! And I would like to see Peacock go out a winner.

I won't cry either way... unlike last Saturday

Like Bateman. Still ends up at Wigan.

I'd be happy for such as Brian Mac, and who in a Bulls' shirt wouldn't want JP to go out a winner? That said if John Bateman put in a MOM performance and took the pot for 'Wiggin', I'll live with that too.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching SL on Sky this year, it's how much more enjoyable it is when I'm not looking out for how the result affects the Bulls.

It has to be Leeds for me. The Rhinos will want to send Sinfield and Peacock out in style.

The Bulls fecked Jamie Peacock over, he never wanted to leave, he has only ever gone up in my estimation and it would be nice for him to end on a winning note. McDermott being an old boy also helps my choice. And finally the fact that half the Leeds squad has been acquired with money sued out of the Bulls so if you look at it that way, we actually have a financial stake in half their team
