Ok so not an Eagles game but I'm sure we all have at least a passing interest in it and a few of us are going down.

Love going to Wembley whatever the occasion and Saturday will be no different. Hoping for a really good, close game in the sunshine, the way Leeds have been playing this season though, I can only see one winner.

Wigan 28-6 Leeds.

Nothing is ever straight forward and this game won't be,Leeds will be up for this one and you never no,Could 98 comeback to haunt Wigan or will the Warriors be too strong for the Rhinos,Hate Leeds and don't particulary like Wigan,Im going 26-18 Wigan.

Despite Leeds being a Yorkshire club they are W Yorks - i.e. Yarkshire Yarkshire and I do like the way that Wigan are playing at the moment i.e. attractive entertaining RL so would prefer Wigan to win.

Wigan ought to win as in my mind they are the best RL side in the Northern hemisphere at this moment. You won't get long odds at the bookies for a Wigan win and Sam Tomkins to get the Lance Todd.

22 - 18 to ..... I can't make my mind up
