Surely Ben Kingsley? He has form for growing a goaty and playing the big boss.

Good shout. He’s in.

Not sure how some Leeds fans have come to the conclusion that they are 50 points better than Salford.

I said it’d be nice to beat the 50-0 win, not that I expect it to happen. 
Leeds will easily cover the -6 point handicap though, I’m not sure how the bookies have come up with that.

[Chris22 1,288]

A rare final that I will watch where I wouldn't really mind either outcome. If Leeds win, then it's one for Rob Burrow, if Salford win, what an underdog story.

I would back Leeds, their record over Salford is excellent, but this is by no means a foregone conclusion

[doc 289]

Salford by 8 to 10. Especially if they are losing at half time, comeback, and then losing with five minutes to go.Not much to ask.

[redsi42 99]

A great game and draw would be a the best result given the current circumstances. But I’d take Salford by 1. If it kept everyone happy

Anyone got any discount codes for tickets

Only if you’re going to pay a bond to be there next year too. How does £500,000 sound?

 Not me mate ! I do t want to see 50~ 0 in any game not even in 2015 

[Red Willow 596]

Team released, No Sarge for Salford. Tui Brown and Lussick all in squad

[Futtocks 14,635]

[Niels 1,341]

Sargison looked one of rhe best players in the games I saw.

He will be a real miss I think. 

[fieldofclothofgold 506]

I really have a soft spot for Salford

Sarginson has been great for Salford in the games I’ve seen this season.

Still hoping Salford can pull it off.

To me from what I’ve seen he’s to often been wildly inconsistent  , doing a few good things and  then coming up with some errors and brain explosions which cancel them out . But they’re you go

Me neither, I'm obviously a Leeds fan and think it will be incredibly close. I've so much respect for Ian Watson I almost want Salford to win.

That 2015 final was absolutely shocking. The best part of that day was Lizzie Jones’ singing whilst her husband was emblazoned on the big screens. There was a few tears around where I was sat that day. 

A great display of attacking rugby.

After last years grand final it’s nice to be able to join in the Salford love in.

Saves a selection problem as Evalds had been very good until his injury
