With 3 days to go until the big day, what are your predictions? Will KR thrive and overcome the odds and cause a massive upset or will it be business as usual for Leeds?

Personally, I think It's going to be around 32-14 to Leeds - a well contested game for the most part but Leeds have more than enough to secure a comfortable win.

Not sure winning the CC Final can be termed 'business as usual' for Leeds.

By business as usual, I was referring to the fact we've won 6 games in a row and beaten KR twice this year. Thanks for your input though.

Yep, if its Business as usual for Leeds in the CC final then you guys go home with the big grin



For mine, we will be the more disappointed if we don't pick up the cup. Other predictions are as follows:-

Long Journey

Great day out

Loads of amiable Banter

Some alcohol consumption

I'm heading down with a Hull FC fan, who happens to have a big soft spot for Leeds (surprising, huh?) could definitely be an interesting day out.

Bit touchy aren't you? A cup final can never be 'business as usual' in the same sense that a league game can be. We have given Leeds two very good games in the league with the score ultimately, IMO of course, flattering Leeds on both occasions. Now I obviously don't expect us to win this game as Leeds are rightly favourites but I think that some of you may be in for a shock with regards to the tightness of the scoreline.
HKR 22-30 Leeds

Touchy never came in to it, I was just making you aware of what I meant by 'business as usual'. Winning the CC isn't, as you said 'business as usual' for Leeds - however, this season winning games is more or less the norm and what I would currently class as 'business as usual'... But anyway, I don't dispute the fact the game will be tight - in fact I hope it is a tight game, it's a long way to travel and a lot of money to spend for a boring one sided affair, rather like the game your West Hull friends were involved in a couple of year back. I do still think the scoreline will be larger than the game will give away for the simple fact Leeds score tries out of nowhere this season and seemingly from nothing at times.

Leeds 8 Hull KR 36

Half of the Leeds team to be struck down by the flu then?

Anyone travelling up from the South Coast on Saturday?

34-14 to Leeds. 6 tries to 3.

Leeds to score a couple of early tries and then for both sides to trade tries throughout the rest of game with Leeds always being able to keep a comfortable gap between the two.

I'll say 20 12 to us. Close-ish score but not so close we're cacking it until the final hooter.

Not sure I can handle one of those heart pounding games!

Dreamt last night we lost 20-0 - just couldn't get anything going. Kept forcing the pass, and Hall dropped everything given to him.

I think we'll win 31-4

52-10

Total blow-out.

"Business as usual " scares me when I think of Leeds recent record in cup finals.I am nervous more so than I was in the GF in 2008 when we were totally written off .28-16 to Leeds ,but I am nervous

36-6 to Leeds

I usually get quite nervous but I'm not at all this week. Last year the week building up was torture hoping Sinfield and co would finally land the cup. Part of not being nervous is because even in the worst case scenario that we lose, granted I'll be gutted after the final hooter but it won't compare to the feeling after the losses in 2010/11/12 when I wondered whether this generation would complete the set. Sinfield's career at this club has been too great for people to keep reminding him when discussing his career...."however you never managed to lift the cup" and mention not going for that penalty vs Bradford in 2003. My feeling last year was "let's us just win one of these damn things" and I wouldn't mind if we didn't reach the final again for a few years after that, so to be back here again is a bonus in my eyes.

That horrible feeling of losing at Wembley. Remember it? Still very raw for me.

Leeds 38 - HKR - 18

Tight first half, 12-8 to Us going into the break, then tight until the hour but a try from us will kill off the brave Rovers challenge leading us to a flattering 34-8 win.

Leeds 36- 22 hull kr

Leeds 34-10 HKR

No way made Mighty Rhinos are gonna let us down

Come on Rhinos bring back the silverware!!!

I reckon there'll be a final 15/20min blowout, floodgates will open. 54-12 Leeds.

I'm a tad schizophrenic at the moment. I'm not nervous at all, which is great. Until I consciously think of the fact that I'm not nervous. Which then makes me nervous.

Every time I've been confident of a win in a final we've lost except for '99. So I prefer to be nervous.

So at the moment I'm pretty much f^cked up.

No one predicting a Rovers win and rightly so.
We have have been poor in the league and so were in the middle 8's.
In the cup we have excelled if we can counter your pack and disrupt your kicking game Rover's by 10
