It has to be Williams and Dean in the halves.

Playing Devil’s advocate here… would a cup final win and falter at the playoffs be considered a success this season? I really want to win the league and I’m not too bothered if we lose on Sunday if it removes the cup distraction from our league campaign. I can’t see us winning both anyway. We’re not good enough, nor do we have the energy to go through both the middle and end of the season in top form. We’ve had our Wembley successes over the last decade so I’m happy to fluff this one if we have to.

If you asked me ‘each season, which would you take, a CC or a GF win?’…
I’d absolutely pick a CC every time.

Big call, RD.

Fans of the other big three clubs wouldn't be taking the mickey so much if we had four grand final wins but a few Wembley losses. Winning the league tends to be more reflective of the quality of the team rather than a lucky run, too. I guess you could say our two LLS wins represent us being the best team in those years, but then better teams would have known the goal is to peak in the playoffs irrespective of league position.

Having ‘it’s always your year’ sang at you, doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
And even if we won the GF, the stalins will still sing it!
