Leeds by plenty so far. Thorough domination and it's going to take an almighty effort from Wigan to turn the game around. Leeds have utterly dominated them. Are Wigan a one man team? They look shot, physically and mentally.

If they reach the final, can we forfeit tomorrow? I honestly couldn't deal with another Saints v Leeds final. It's like a bad dream, they've made films about situations like this and it never ends well.

Saints Leeds final, yet again, on the cards

I dunno, if Wigan get any ball or control of the game, they will win.

Wire could smash Saints tomorrow as well. If it's Saints v Leeds again they should just play rock, paper, scissors and then award Leeds the title.

Silverwood having a nightmare. For the first time in my life I feel sorry for Leeds, so many bad decisions going against them.

Absolute joke. First decision by the video ref is a shocking, disgusting decision. That decision says it is fine to swing an arm into the face of the ball carrier as he's about to score. It's a free for all.

The knock on decision was also absolutely terrible.

I suddenly feel sick about the Grand final. I'll still go if we get there though!!!!!!!!

Brilliant, love it!

I thoroughly hope we lose, we're not capable of matching Leeds' spirit and desire. Champion side.

Thoroughly deserved victory for Leeds. Would have been a travesty had it gone the other way.

Come on Saints tomorrow. We like playing you in the GF.

Will try our best, but there seems to be a hidden agenda. You had to beat Silverwoods Wigan, looks as though we could have to beat a Thaler Warrington, if thats the agenda.

Yup, the RFL will be DESPERATE to avoid another repeat final. They will turn the lights out if Saints are winning.

you talk absolute nonsense in the football thread and even more in here. you hope we lose???????? you dont want us to get to the GF.
why do you actually support saints!!

Cut him some slack here - it's Saddened you know!

Double post

Tough game with two classy teams and one horrendous man in yellow.

Great game for a neutral, that. Totally naff result though.

The very best bit was when Sinfield stamped his foot. Made me laugh, that did. He's such a diva.

The best bit was seeing Ratkins sulking in the rain at the end

Good luck tomorrow Saints. Need to show these pretenders it takes something extra to get to OT!

Plus Sky will be crying if it's another Leeds v Saints final.

They are right, we've said all along that he's not got the mental capacity to be a head coach in Super League. Snapping the pole and over enthusing only gets you so far.

Tomkins is off too, sooner rather than later. I'd be amazed if he does any more than one season more for Wigan.

I've said for a while Wigoon are quite 1 dimensional without Ratkins in the team - I think he's missed 3 games and they've lost all 3 .. funny that.

Without Tomkins they're hardly any better in the backs than we are - they're just a largely ordinary set of players with one superstar that were driven to unimaginable heights for a couple of season by a great coach.

The RL not wanting another Saints/Leeds final and directing refs accordingly? Surely not! It's hard not to believe in conspiracy theories in this sport sometimes... I'd be tempted to put my house on every possible decision under the sun going Wire's way tomorrow given the mad, panicky levels of desperation to stop us getting there too that will be reverberating through Red Hall right now.

can't wait for tomorrow and very nervous. northants saint- i can't believe your negativity towards the chances of
saints going through. from a wire point of view, we're equally bricking it.

You have a full set of top quality forwards who i fear massively, even with the full starting wire 17 and
thats not including perry who is due a good game as he is one of the
best forwards in the world on his day; we aren't counting chickens.

it'll be a cracker tomorrow and may the best side win.

You should have a bit more faith in your side Northampton Saint.

We are an utterly, utterly one-dimensional team playing a side that can, when they get it right, match us in the forwards, utterly annihilate us in the backs with talent, plays and moves we couldn't ever hope to emulate or counter in our wildest dreams, and that has a kicking game. The game will be played at a venue that suits you and where you will be under less expectation and pressure which is generally your undoing in playoff games. We will also inevitably be playing against the referee after seeing the shocking treatment Leeds got tonight confirming the RL's determination to avoid another Leeds/Saints final at all costs. We can't beat you tomorrow - you can only beat yourselves and that is our only chance of victory.
