I think it utterly stinks how Watson is criminally underratted by other clubs, makes Salford punch above their weight ten fold.

Yet Leeds appoint a washed up What, Wigan appoint Lam who has made Wigan bloody average

Who cares if a few bitter and jealous old farts don’t like it. Great for the game that a so called small club has made it to another major final, their second in 12 months.Good luck to them.

Quite right mate! Totally ruined my weekend!

I’ve been to every Wembley since ’86, and always soaked up the atmosphere, as I wasn’t bothered who won.

Always said “If the Pinks ever get there, I don’t know if I’d go or not!” It’s taken a worldwide parademic to prevent me from having to make the decision!

I went to OT last year, but that was only a tram ride away, and a walk back, but would I have got up at daft o’clock to go to Wembley? I still honestly don’t know, but…………

I’ll defo be a Lioner for the day come Saturday week, when watching it on the box!

Stay safe everyone!

On any other final, I’m sure the neutrals (that doesn’t include me LOL) would be supporting the Pinks, but do you reckon the Rob Burrow scenario will kick in, and they’ll be hoping the Rhinos win it for him?

Bit of a damp squib in that he won’t be there. Leeds seem to be getting their old arrogance back, so come on Pinks!

Who won’t be there,Rob Burrow ? Why do you expect him to be there, he is’nt a well man ? Don’t get why selfish people want him paraded around Wembley like some sort of trophy just to feel good about themselves.

Totally agree, he has his family to enjoy while he can. Leading Leeds out sounds like a market man’s idea.Btw, I didn’t suggest that he should be there!

Because Ian Watson was a Widnes player and a great example of how a good coach can improve and motivate players (including some of our recent ex-players) I hope they stuff Leeds next Saturday.

Be good to see Salford win, seen Cas and Hull KR at Wembley in recent years and not win, surely the less fashionable club is due a win.

On that note, who is the last ‘unfashionable’ club to win it?

Halifax?

1) No it wouldn’t!

2) Sheff ’98 I’d say.

Agreed, be great for the game.I’ll be cheering for the Reds.Two major Finals in 12 months is good going for a ‘small’ club, whatever the result.Never had much time for Salford under McRae and Sims when they were having subtle digs at us during the SL applications but different club now.
