When you recall previous Super League Grand Finals and teams who have lit up the Manchester sky, Leeds Rhinos and St Helens are synonymous with the Theatre of Dreams. The two sides are set to lock horns again on Saturday evening to declare who will be crowned Super League champions in 2022 and take home the coveted trophy.
The Rhinos and Saints have played out some classics at Old Trafford in the past, but this weekend's fixture has a little bit more spice added to the occasion. Of course, the main aim is to be walking around the stadium at full-time with a ring around your finger, but with both sides level on eight Grand Final wins each, Saturday is a chance to become Super League kings and the most successful club in Grand Final history.
St Helens, who dominated the early years of Super League, are looking to make it a fourth consecutive Super League title in a row and number nine on the honours list (1999, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2014, 2019, 2020, 2021). Whereas underdogs Leeds Rhinos, who have shown the spirit of the sides who monopolised the division during the Danny McGuire, Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield days, are desperate to send several departing players such as Tom Briscoe and Liam Sutcliffe off with a bang, which would see them add to their already remarkable record at Old Trafford (2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017).
