Surely as a Saints fan you can fully relate to this in recent years??!'"
You winning the GF has nothing to do with us winning the cup or otherwise, and everything to do with being the better team on the day.
Unless you can prove to me that Meli is day-dreaming about Wembley when he makes his annual gaffes.

| Quote ="FearTheVee"Don't confuse Leeds' fans attitudes towards winning it with general attitudes towards winning it.
Leeds fans like to pretend they don't care because they keep failing. You can guarantee there would be a different party line had they lifted the cup a few times and you can be damn sure the Leeds players want to play at Wembley.'"
Thats quite an obvious statement to make for a fan of a team who choke when it's the big one, but have won the CC. I wouldn't have expected anything else.
But I am 100% sure your attitude would be different had you not been GF chokers, and had actually been as honourable winners like the Rhinos have been in this never to be repeated GF run.

| From the Leeds site:
Quote However, with 3,000 tickets still unsold for the game there is a danger that Rhinos fans could be out numbered by Wigan supporters on their own patch. '"

Maybe that might be because Wigan only have been allocated 2500 tickets due to the capacity only being 10,000. HTH.

Lol. No. That was just some jealous little Latics fans spreading rumours that they wish could come true but it never will.
Next?

Your own Chief Executive would disagree with you on that one.
Getting to Wembley and winning the cup is worth more to the financial position of clubs than winning the GF and will therefore be at least an equivalent priority for those who run clubs and therefore their teams. Another who thinks otherwise is obviously trying to deflect their team's failure in the trophy over recent years.

| Absoulutely disgusting by Leeds, actually cant believe it, they are having a pretty poor season in the league and this is probably there biggest game of the season so far, I just dont get it. There was only 9,000 on the other year when we beat them in the cup, if this was at the DW we'd get 17,000 minimum.

We wouldn't though - in fact nowhere near. You only have to look at play-offs crowds to see that a lot of people won't pay extra over their season ticket even when the season is on the line and it's the biggest game of the season. Some rugby league fans are simply muppets I'm afraid.

Yes I understand what your saying, but I think because of our form and a genuine belief that we can win the challenge cup, I think a big home tie would draw a huge crowd. Anyway, we'll never find out, as the last time we had a big home draw in the cup it was about 1932
