Mikey Lewis hopefully gets took down a peg or 2.

I think Leigh will shade it,well I hope so.

Both teams are very solid with good pros throughout their squads with a Sprinkle of "X" on both side
I think Leigh just edge it for me

And for Family reasons I'm 100% behind Leigh
Trigger (Neil) spent over 20 years at the club as player/coach/ceo and can't help but feel chuffed/proud and happy after the many lows along the way.
I've briefly gone into it on the new wigan way podcast on this week's episode, and Derek, the clubs and the councils gesture to provide travel/tickets/food etc for 500 disadvantaged families is exceptional

By the way, 52 years ago my Dad went to Wembley watching the Leigh/Leeds final and he had a Big Bet on Leyth that day
Rang my mum and told her to get a train to Brighton on the winnings and met her there.
9months later Voila - I turned up !
They'd waited 11 years for a little un and got lumbered with me coz of Alex Murphy et Al!!!!
:lol:

Luv it.

Great story Jukes.

I’m behind Hull, I know a few of the lads but also I think they deserve a reward for how they have grown as a club into this position over the years.

Leigh are a bit of an overnight success and fair play to them but I just think KR have paid more of their dues to find themselves in this position.

I also think it would be a great reward for SKD who I think had been one of the all time best recruits of the SL era and it would be good to see him go out with a trophy in his last season.

Having said that I can’t see any other result than a Leigh win. Most of all I hope it’s a great contest and spectacle in front of a packed Wembley.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Hoping Leigh win, love what they’ve brought to the league. Would be made up for Lam and Charnley too.

Find the hype around HKR at little tiresome, every praising them for “craven street” which is just butty vans behind the sticks.

RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

I'm onboard with this. It's hyped up to the max.

Cas away at the start of the season has numerous food and drink stalls set up. It was actually decent food, especially compared to the cr@p we get in the DW, or even outside the ground.

Something like Craven street is making use of a dead part of the ground, so fair play to them for that. Anybody who has stood down that end before will know it was absolutely dire and not fit for purpose.

I must admit, I wouldn't be against those scrotes who filmed the Wigan fan (rightfully) getting vexed, with them surrounding his car and hassling him and his family, going home with their tails between their legs though but there are plenty of good people at HKR as well.
