Tut tut tut, BBC is supposed to be an impartial organisation...

Normally nervous thinking if we play to our potential, have some luck, they play poorly we are in with a chance of winning.
This year I think differently, we have a great side who play for each other. If we turn up with the right attitude and play like we can we will lift that challenge cup im in no doubt about that. I just think we will want it a little bit more than them. Play like we did against Wigan in the semi job done.

I'm certainly letting the occasion get to me. I've started smoking again.

If the lads are just 3% as nervous as me then we are in big trouble.

If you can't enjoy the build up to a major final, what's the point? This one's been very good IMO, good balance of positivity and realism. Wish you all safe travels and that the game is a good one. The team and club have worked very hard to get us to this point, excellent season's progress regardless of outcome.

I don't get the doubts or talk like Warrington are the favourites for this game

History's aside there's little to call between the two different teams. I just feel us possibly starting with at best one winger n having Evans cover on the wing forcing t king to play at centre is going to give u guys the edge I'd love to be wrong but having Russel n Evans on the wing has cost us trys that arguably penny n Lineham score and in a final to be without one and possibly the other is going to have an effect on the result one way or another

Warrington are the favourites for the game with bookmakers, hence the talk to this effect.

Same here.
I think this game is ours to lose.

If we turn up we win in my eyes . And I think we will turn up , there's to much experience and old heads in the team for us not to . You can sense the confidence in the squad but it's not over confidence .

wire have the best attack and defence in the comp and more game breakers than us so for me it's us who have to be at our best to be in with a shout

Why do you bother?

The occasion didn't get to us in the SF, the final will be no different.

He is simply quoting facts. Warrington do have the best defence and attack and we will need to be at the top of our game to win. Nothing wrong with saying that!

We have beaten them twice already this year...he isn't just stating facts. He is doing what he does best...

And I firmly believe if anyone else had written that, you wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

If we win, I'll start smoking again just to crash you one!

Just packing my bag and taking 200 down with me I brought back from my hols. I'll be puffing like a maniac with nerves.

First thing I said at work this morning "Where's the smoking area then?"

Everyone in the office is stressed because of a deadline so no one has noticed that I can't function properly because of cup final collywobbles.

Bloody emotions are up and down again. Having the day off work to pace the floor and watch the Semi Final has not helped.

It wouldn't be so bad if people wouldn't keep saying to me, "It's yours this year, no worries". Even the Rovers fans that I know aren't crowing that we'll get beat.

I will take solace from the fact that our best performances all season have been in the CC - the professional demolition of Saints and Catalans and the war of attrition in the final 15 against Wigan.

Because it annoys you zod

Annoying s like you?

Have a good day mate. if we win Christ knows what might happen even in Staffs.

Touche mate.
Bloody lovely if we can do the biz for all those past and all us present.
