Yeah and Leeds beat them in the Grand Final last year and knocked them out in the semi final the year before. I completely understand Warrington's motivation, they're scared of Leeds and they've used the club call system to avoid them. Tony Smith claims the system's a farce and didn't attend the press conference in protest so why's his club then used it to their supposed advantage?

Warrington into grand final. I thought Huddersfield would choke, it's strange, they finished top but were probably the least fancied out of any of the top 4. It would seem reputation counts. Having said which Warrington weren't considered a team capable of winning honours a few years ago so things change.

Yes, I thought Huddersfield (my adopted team) were the least likely of the main 4 to win it.

Leeds have an annoying habit of kicking into gear a soon as the play-offs start, kind of hope Warrington win the Grand Final though.

I support the Rhinos so hoping that annoying habit kicks in again tonight! Surely no-one can want Wigan to win??

Not keen on the Rhinos, although that is because I can remember the fans of the footy team to be fair to them.

Also not keen on Wigan, who I see as the Manure of Rugby League.

So hopefully Warrington will win. From what I've seen of Warrington the town, the people living there need all the cheering up they can get.

If it happens celebrity fan Kerry Katona will be pleased, maybe she'll do a magazine interview to tell us what she thinks about it.

And now I hope Warrington win as well. Good luck to Batley in championship. Yorkshire is the true home of the sport despite the Cheshire feel to this year's grand final.

I am a Wigan fan. This dates back many years to my spending a few months poking a girl whose old man was from there and a big rugby league fan. I liked Central Park. Its a bit of a travesty its now a Tesco.

I was inebriated in a Leeds pub on Saturday evening telling a load of Wigan-hating Rhinos fans Wigan were getting a hiding. They weren't best pleased when the final score was confirmed.

I was pleased when Wigan made it interesting, but not pleased when they went on to win the game.

Did have a brief chat with a Wigan fan from Wigan, who was going to the game to watch it, in Aston, before the coach to Hull City.
