I'm really reluctant to write off the Rhinos because I've done it twice already during the play-offs and they've proven me wrong twice. I thought their race was run when they headed to Perpignan and I thought the semi-final would be a game too far. Both times I was, clearly, emphatically wrong.
But how do you tip against a side that has won three straight Grand Finals? This version of the champions isn't quite as sublime as the three previous, largely down to key injuries they haven't faced in previous years. That has damaged their excellence in parts this year and yet, they still finished top.
