Eddie Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Must say I’m delighted that there’ll be a new team in the final this year, like I was when Salford made it in 2019. Saints v Catalans is the obvious choice on the pitch but Hull KR fans would really get OT rocking - either way I can’t wait to be there 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corvusxiii Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 I was dreading a Pies v Saints GF but this is great news. I hear a lot about the quality of the competition when the St PieLoins aren't that strong but I think its a lot more depressing when two of those teams make the GF anyway despite a flat and unremarkable season. We'll Done HKR! A breath of fresh air. 2 TESTICULI AD BREXITAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty desperate for Saints to not make it though....

Bod Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 An end of season knock out cup competition to decide the Champions. No wonder people can't be bothered to attend our sport. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 Surprised this thread hasn't had a lot more positive response seeing as though everyone moans about the same teams in the Grand Final year after year. It will be great to see a new team at Old Trafford and it is a win win. Either Catalans which is great for the league with the French coming to the fore or HKR as underdogs playing a superb brand of Rugby. What's not to like. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 My view is that it’s good for competitive balance that a new team has made the final. But professional sport is cruel and it really is all about winning. I think it only really moves the needle if a new team does it when it matters and wins the big one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes if you're a fan of a club which has a habit of coming top and choking when the pressure is on then I can well imagine you wouldn't like a system which needs a team to prove their Champion qualities on the biggest stage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrumonside ref Posted September 25 Report Share Posted September 25 1 hour ago, JohnM said: Quite a lot, I reckon. The GF is a grand day out for fans. Agreed and I would keep building it and building it into a real celebration (top to bottom of rugby league in this country) of the game. I would celebrate all the champion teams at other levels, all the great retirees, some music and anything else to make it feel like a big event. The only slight pivot I would make is while still keeping it affordable for all, just to tone down some of the excessive drinking. I like a drink to unwind with the match, but it’s obvious some can’t handle and behave after a whole afternoon of it. I don’t know what the solution is sadly and we still want a great atmosphere, but just in keeping with the best traditions of rugby league fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
