They've hit a bad patch at the wrong time. They'll lose again on Friday IMO.

 

[Goth Power]

Yeah, well...Leeds really have dropped the last few seasons..

should really be a good final, i suspect St Helens to win, although I was impressed by Huddersfield, they were hungry and wanted the win from the off, so it should tight and close

 

[Goth Power]

I watched the remaining 20 minutes of the Leeds match, and I was suprised at how tight Huddersfield's defence was, they didn't let any of Leeds tricks work.

Leeds are a different prospect without McGuire, they don't look like they're going to go through any gaps or score from close in. Shudds were doing the best way to play Leeds - move up quickly.

Doesn't help that they have no props either.

Well its the cup final this weekend I believe...

Down at Twickenham, kick off is at 14:45 BST for people in the UK the game will be shown on BBC1...

Should be a good game with Huddersfield looking to defeat the Saints

My prediction for this game is Saints by 15+ points

Is a big crowd expected in Twickenham? Most of the traditional English attendance of RL live quite far from London, don't they?

 

[getofmeland]

Yep, RL is big in Northern England, they only really have the Harliquins down south...

We'll travel down in our thousands to be honest DB.

So was Twickenham full for the final?
