Rhinos and Saints ready for Grand Final showdown

Leeds Rhinos and St Helens are set to go head to head at Old Trafford tomorrow night for the right to claim the 2009 Super League title.

Both sides have appeared in each of the last two rugby league Grand Finals, with Leeds emerging victorious on both occasions.

However, Leeds front-row Jamie Peacock has played down talk of Saints looking for revenge, saying: 'The last two years don't come into it.'

'You can't afford to spend time thinking out that,' he continued.

'It would be nice to win three in a row but, if you concentrate on that, you've a chance of slipping up.

'We've got to concentrate on performing and, if we do that, history will take care of itself.'

Despite losing the last two showpiece matches, Saints will make it four straight Grand Finals on Saturday - having beaten Hull FC in 2006 before the back-to-back losses against the Rhinos in 2007 and 2008.ADNFCR-708-ID-19399909-ADNFCR
