Hello all, have a query for the old(er) hats amongst you...

For the GFs that Leeds don't play in, do you know if the club organise or offer any coordinated transport to and from Headingley? As the Leigh game I was going to introduce Scottish friends to is now no longer possible for us to go to, I was looking at trying to persuade them to head down for the GF instead. I have never been one to have any interest in attending finals not involving Leeds but I am gutted about next week as was looking forward to it so am looking for alternatives! Thanks for any help or guidance

I don't think so but could be wrong. why not sort a mini bus and just get tickets?

Because I will be coming from Glasgow with one or two other people max if I do come down. Will be plenty of space if I did that. If a load of you are scrabbling around thinking of mini buses from Leeds I can sort one then!

I said after the cup final that I think Wigan might come in and nick the GF now ,but that doesn't mean I want them to win.If I had to choose it would be Wire

I thought Wire would at least be in the final but it'll be interesting to see how they respond now after what happened on Friday night, had a similar feel to Hudds losing to us last year letting that lead go with only several minutes left wi the Wire players looking stunned at what happened to them. If they lose to Hull next week they'll be away to Wigan most likely.

Wire beat Hull it's......Wire vs Saints - Wigan vs Hull

Hull beat Wire it's.....Hull vs Saints - Wigan vs Wire

*(providing Wigan beat Catalans at home which looks likely)

Wire would probably prefer Wigan away anyway, haven't they only beat Saints twice at home in like 20 years?

If Hull do the treble the year after we achieved it how would people feel?

I have to admit, i didn't think we would see it happen again for a good few years but after Warrington choked away the LLS on friday it has really fallen into the lap of Hull now with the home game this week against a busted side i expect they will do it. That said, playing Saints at home will be no gimme, they are the side with all the momentum right now but the treble is very much on.

Hull even being in with a good chance of winning the treble tells me all I need to know about Leeds winning the treble last year.

That's how I feel

Pleased for em. A revival in FC's fortunes could be a shot in the arm for the game as a whole.

And at least it weren't bloody wigan

At the moment I'd still make others favourites ahead of them. As Warrington showed in 2012/13 it's one thing to win a CC but to win a GF when you haven't been to one (or at least one in recent years) is a different task and Wigan and Saints have the experience and the current form.

In terms of the LLS, god knows how Warrington will respond this week after what happened to them last week. Could've broken them or could see a strong response.
