As Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul Ince head down the tunnel at half-time at Ewood Park, one of the biggest games in the Rugby League calendar will be kicking-off at the Old Trafford. St Helens, the league winners, do battle with the Leeds Rhinos in Super League’s 2008 Grand Final. The game is a repeat of last year's final which was won by the Yorkshire side.
Old Trafford has played
host to the Grand Final since the Super League competition adopted a play-off system
in 1998.
Leeds' preparations have been dealt a blow with the news
that they'll be without full-back Brent Webb, whilst Saints prop Jason Cayless
has been declared fit.
St Helens, who have already won this season's Challenge Cup competition, are favourites with the bookmakers to win the match priced at 4/11. A Rhinos win is 2/1, whilst a draw is 18/1.
