    It's a 50-50 job.

    They have had the better of us over three games but they know, and we know, that we have the big game mentality.

    Psychologically, we are the big game maestros. The psychological game has a massive bearing on the outcome.

    Mentally this should be in our favour. If our players just believe in ourselves then I see no reason why the championship should not be coming back home.

    Leeds looked good against a tired Wigan, but they are still the underdogs. They threw everything they had at us last week, and still lost. Peacock and Ellis are the key threats, outstanding in the last two games

    Wigan have been believing their own hype. They are not a good team.
    Wigan finshed 3rd after the playoffs ,not bad for "not a good team"

    I suspect the game against the vermin was their Grand Final. Indeed Saints hopefilly will have a fit squad to choose from (less Scully) that will be the difference. In previous league games against Leeds, we have fielded a 'weakened' side.
    They will be made to pay on Saturday.

    Wigan ARE an average team.

    We will know in the first 20 minutes if we are with a better than 50% chance of winning with the view of how we go about this task. If there is a great game plan with many ideas of how to shut them down with our excellent defence and to exploit their weaknesses, then we will win. Peacock is great but his head-highs give away possible points. Burrows is the one needing special attention, but Sinfield has upset us before! Yes they are a good team - should be a good game - but with the right attitude from the start we can take this one too! AND feel good about not underestimating them as occurred with the dulls 3 years ago

    It's a 50/50 game and if we lose Leeds will have deserved the title but I'll be more than disappointed if we lose because we're still a better side on our day.

    Dont know, but as I just said in a previous post, it will make me sleep better tonight. Think I might put £20 on Leeds to win. Either way I would win and no worrying all week. Not stopped worrying since last week.

    There was 1 point between the sides in the league table and there won't be many more come the end of the Grand Final 80 minutes.
    Whoever wins will deserve to, both sides have been terrific in the Super League competition all year and I think both Anderson & Smith will play huge roles in whoever wins on Saturday - as both Us and Leeds are very closely matched in terms of Rugby League ability.

    I can understand everyone's worry. It is a big game and a 50/50 one imo. They looked good against W*gan but they were out on their feet. Danny Lockwood of League Weekly came up with an interesting stat & Leeds' sometimes inconsistancy. They have lost three of their last four & five of their last nine.
