it's a choice of listening to Sinfield bleat on in repeats for another 12 months or the smug git of a Wire fan in our post room

| Tough really either way its a loss isn't it?
Can't believe I'm saying it but Wire. It restores a little merit to out league and, lets be honest, the RFL weren't going to do anything if Leeds win so all Leeds winning will do is make the league look worse than it already is.

| Torn between the two really.
Leeds on one hand as them winning it from fifth again would show even the most blinkered that something is rotten in Super League and may bring about some kind of improvement. Not holding my breath though!
On the other hand we have Warrington, I must be one of the few people on here who was alive when they last won the title so good on 'em.
The fact that they have the largest, most expensive squad in SL is evidence as to what investment in the game and your club can bring. I can't understand why other Clubs, their Chairmen and owners don't spend the same or more.
There must be a reason but I can't fathom it.

| Wire.
I've got 20 quid on them at 4/1 from after the Saints defeat, they're a better side then Leeds and i'm in the Leeds end so it'll be a lot more enjoyable being in the losing end then the winning one.

| Wire for 1 reason.
Sometimes a player who has given all during his career deserves to pick up the winners trophy and Briers for so long has been one of the best SL players and one of the best personalities in the game and deserves to in my opinion.

| After Wigan's exit last week I must admit that my interest ended there and I really couldn't care less who wins it.
However, if I did have to pick one then I'd go for Warrington as they play the more attractive rugby plus they deserve it for the consistency over the past few seasons (3 cup wins from 4 years, a top 3 finish in the last 3 years).
Sooner they win it than have "champions" who have finished 5th in the table for the last 2 seasons.

| Can't say I'm too bothered who wins. I just hope for a great exhibition on RL without major refereeing controversy, don't think there is too much chance of the latter.
If I had to pick I'd go for wire, it would be a new name on the cup and they finished higher in the league.

| Wire simply because a team finishing 5th should never be called champions and to do it 2 years in a row makes a mockery of our sport. That's not knocking Leeds but the idiotic system we have in our game!

Leeds for this reason but I expect Wire to do it.

Didn't notice Wiggin fans complaining when you got to the GF from 3rd in the table. If your team wants to waste energy in bowling over teams all season only to cock it up when the match really counts for something then so be it. Yep, I bet your 50 point hammering of the Rhinos was a distant memory after last week.

| No team who finishes 5th deserves to win it given the way the play off system works but If I thought Leeds winning it form 5th again would finally destroy the credibility of the current format that would be a price worth paying especially if it meant returning to a top 5 system.
Alas the idiots in charge won't see it that way and will continue to bang on as if it is a hard task to win it from 5th. It's not.
So its got to be Wire. Hopefully they will expose Leeds as the mediocre team they are while they are at it.

| i think any neutral has got to sway towards Wire in this one, even if they have got the most irratating fans in the league, and the gloating is going to be unbarable, I do think the team deserve it alot more than the Leeds team.

| Being a Leeds fan, the answer is obvious.
As a RL fan, then hopefully a Leeds win will result in the changes needed, imo, scrap the 8 team PO system, scrap clubcall, give the team finishing top a bit more than a 10 minute celebration and photo opp with the hubcap!
Quite a few people suggesting a top 5 PO system would be better but people also suggesting you shouldnt be able to be crowned champions finishing 5th. So where do people suggest the line is drawn?
Top 2 straight final?
Top 3 with 1st place straight through and 2nd and 3rd play a semi. But then that would mean 1st getting a week off which isnt always beneficial.
Top 4 for me would be the best option. 1 v 4 & 2 v 3 semi finals. Final a week later. Simples.

I like top 5 with top place going straight through to the final.
2nd v 5th
3rd v 4th
Winners in semi
Semi winners v League winners.

So you feel good calling yourself champions knowing you've done it from 5th and been distinctly average all season but woken up for a few games? Don't be daft. 3rd isn't 5th either is it? And that wasn't under a ridiculous top 8 system. And if I'm not mistaken we were very close something like 1 point in it to 2nd that year you're a long way from the top 2 this year (9 points) it's not an attack on Leeds fair play you've found a flaw in the system and exploited it but its an attack on that flawed system which makes it possible.

| Wire, gives the competition some credibility and they probably deserve it for the consistency they've shown over the last couple of seasons.
On the downside, this forum will be unbearable for months !!!
