[QUOTE="George Ford, post: 809820, member: 74118"] I thought for sure the Landers would end the Lions already successful run. But it appears the Lions have shifted up a gear and is oozing with confidence. Ditto for this Canes side. The mere fact that they've not conceded a single try speaks volumes of their mantra going into the play-offs. Pretty hard to call an outright favorite for this final, both teams have dominated their opposition with so much ease in their brute force of power and physical intensity. The Lions being 1st time contestants versus the Canes being finalist-returnees does give the latter a mental advantage in their experience for this occasion. However, i'm sure Chris Boyd's men will know of better than to underestimate their opposition in any manner, especially this Lions side who has been written off so many times. An exciting final for neutrals to watch and silently I will be rooting for the Lions to win :-) [/QUOTE]
