My money was on us to make the Final, and then to win, from the start, but last time at Elland Road is seared into my consciousness and as the game gets closer, each time I think of it I start shi[size=9

I can remember as if it was yesterday the transition from a frog-in-the-throat, squeaky bum nervousness mixed with great anticipation and a fair amount of confidence in the performance, if not the result, being quickly ground into the dust and replaced by a deeply sick to the pit feeling. Horrible, horrible it was.
I'm betting (well, I [ihave[/i bet) that it doesn't happen again, but Bulls fans are probably best placed to cope with the possible events given the conditioning we have all been given over the years by Saints.
I hope we win. If we don't, then I hope we perform creditably, and it's a cracking game. If that happens, then the score isn't that important, it's the performance. Especially bearing in mind how young and inexperienced many of our main players are. Indeed the logical view is that the class and experience of especially the pretty awesome Aussie backs could make all the difference. Which is why they're 1/6.
If though for whatever reason we dissolve into a heap again then I will be gutted. But I'm really, really, not expecting that this time.
