Announcements » n their fourth world title

Stevo, Brian Carney, Phil Clarke, Barrie McDermott and Bill Arthur give their verdict on who will win the Grand Final. Warrington and Wigan will battle it out at Old Trafford on Saturday in a bid to be crowned Super League Champions. Wigan are looking to avoid three successive defeats in the final, while Warrington will be desperate not to lose two finals in six weeks after their Challenge Cup loss to Hull FC. Warrington face Wigan in the 19th Super League Grand Final on Saturday night. Who will lift the trophy? Courtesy of RFL Kevin Sinfield, who has won the Grand Final seven times with Leeds, says its just too close to call and believes there are arguments for why both sides are able to win. However, we put our pundits on the spot and asked them to pick a winner... StevoNot much in it between both sides who both have the potential skills to win. Hooker Daryl Clark is key for Warrington and Wigan cant afford for him to take control at dummy half. Hes fast, creative and clever. Daryl Clark is a key man for Warrington, says Stevo But he will be wasted if the forwards cant give him the momentum he needs, because he can be negated by playing behind a beaten pack.Wigan will apply their usual tough hit em hard game in the opening twenty minutes to try and disrupt Warrington and force them into errors.If the Wolves can absorb that early pressure I feel they have the skill factor to go on and win. Wigans power game is hard to stop and could give young George Williams the room to create havoc.Either way, if you are a gambling man then have a bob or two on both Clark and Williams for man of the match. Barrie McDermott Wigan Warriors Matty Smith celebrate scoring a drop goal against Warrington This promises to be the tightest final in years as the teams who finished first and second in the table go head-to-head.My heart says Warrington, but my head says Wigan. There is nothing to choose between the players - the engine room has Chris Hill and Ashton Sims versus Ben Flower and Frank-Paul Nuuausala in a battle of brawn. While Matty Smith and George Williams versus Kurt Gidley and Declan Patton is a battle of the brains.We are in for a crackerjack of a game. It might not be from a piece of finesse, so it might come down to who wants it more that gets the team over the line.With a hairs breadth between them, Im going for a Warrington win in extra time! Brian CarneySaturdays Grand Final is a case of the known against the known unknown.With Wigan you know what youre going to get - the same structured attack that has served them so well over the last six years, but is in decline.When the Warriors have to chase games they move away from that structure and look a much better side. They are committed, coherent and aggressive in defence and are the most consistent performers from first minute until last, but will that be good enough on Saturday? Chris Sandow is back for the Wolves With Warrington youre never sure what youre going to get. We have seen glimpses of how lethal and resilient they can be, and two games in particular stand out.The first was their win at Catalans, one week after losing the Challenge Cup final, and the other was when they won the league leaders shield at Hull.Warrington travelled to the KCOM without Chris Sandow, Kurt Gidley, Ben Currie and Ben Westwood. Declan Patton and Stefan Ratchford played in the halves and they won 23-6.The problem with Warrington is they can contrive to lose a game while 14 points and a man up. If the Wolves played with the same consistency as Wigan no-one would touch them.Trench warfare favours Wigan and they will more than happy for Saturdays Grand Final to descend into that kind of game. Its something Warrington must avoid if they are to be crowned champions for the first time in 61 years.Phil ClarkeWhen two great teams meet Ive often said that it comes down to the bounce of the ball. Its a rugby cliche that was applicable when the two teams last met at Old Trafford in 2013.A Matthew Smith kick was charged down early in the second half, if it bounced in one direction it would most probably have led to a Warrington try, and most probably a win. It instead bounced back to Smith and Wigan went the length of the field very quickly to score. Ben Currie is consoled by head coach Tony Smith following their Challenge Cup final loss It was the turning point in my mind but Warrington know that they can never relax against Wigan. Theyve lost out when theyve had a 14-point lead in a Grand Final, and theyve lost with a 14-point lead three weeks ago, playing against 12 men.I think that there is very little between the teams and it would not surprise me if, like the £1million match, it went into extra time.Bill ArthurWigan - tough, mean, aggressive, never say die attitude, capable of hanging in there and snatching the win, as proved at the HJ last month. But missing key players with big night experience. Will Sean OLoughlin be back for Wigan? Warrington - creative, fast, unpredictable, good defence, players in key positions in form and have edged it in meetings with Wigan this season.Which to me suggests a Warrington win - but only just!You can watch the Super League Grand Final, Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

The five-time Olympian and Canadas captain was among six players head coach Dan Church left off his 21-player roster for the annual international womens tournament starting Tuesday in Lake Placid, N.Y. "Were going to take an opportunity to give her that little bit of a break," Church said Monday from Lake Placid. "Theres no question we know what she can do on the ice and that she can contribute in big games. "A lot of it has to with making sure she has a good recovery week here and is ready for the final push towards the Olympics." Wickenheiser, 35, is Canadas all-time leading scorer and has played in 14 Nations Cups during her career. The Four Nations is important preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics for Canada, the U.S., Finland and Sweden. Assistant captain Caroline Ouellette and forward Marie-Philip Poulin as well as defencemen Meaghan Mikkelson, Lauriane Rougeau and Laura Fortino also remained in Calgary, where the Canadian team is based this winter. Wickenheiser, Ouellette, a three-time Olympian, Poulin, who is recovering from an ankle injury, and Mikkelson were on the team that won the gold medal in 2010 in Vancouver. Fortino and Rougeau have been on the national womens team for two years. "No one is guaranteed a spot in Sochi," Church said. "Some players are obviously a little more secure in their spots, so there were some decisions around that. We also have to look at the overall training plan. "Some of the veteran players do need a bit of a break and this is really our only opportunity within our schedule to do that." The performances of the players he did choose for the Four Nations will help Church determine who he wants on the Olympic team that will attempt to defend the gold in Sochi, Russia, in February. There are 27 women in Calgary trying out for the squad expected to be named in late December. Three forwards and three defencemen will be released. Poulin scored both goals for Canada in a 2-0 win over the U.S. in the 2010 Olympic final, but hasnt played a game since September because of a high ankle sprain. "We were hoping she would be available for this tournament, but she just needs about another week," Church said. Canada opens the Four Nations against Finland on Tuesday before facing the host Americans the following day and Sweden on Friday. The two teams with the best records after the preliminary round meet in Saturdays final. The U.S. is the both the defending womens world champion and Four Nations champion, having won the latter tournament two years in a row. The Americans edged Canada 3-2 in Ottawa in April to win their fourth world title in five years. Canada and the U.S. have already played two of six exhibition games scheduled for this winter with the Canadians winning 3-2 in Burlington, Vt., and 6-3 in Boisbriand, Que., in October. Goaltenders Shannon Szabados, Charline Labonte and Genevieve Lacasse made the trip to Lake Placid. Jocelyne Larocque, Brigette Lacquette, CCourtney Birchard, Catherine Ward, Tessa Bonhomme, and Tara Watchhorn were the defenceman named to the team Monday.dddddddddddd The forwards will be Gillian Apps, Meghan Agosta-Marciano, Rebecca Johnston, Jennifer Wakefield, Melodie Daoust, Jayna Hefford, Bailey Bram, Jenelle Kohanchuk, Brianne Jenner, Hayley Irwin, Natalie Spooner and Vicki Bendus. While the point of a spending several months together prior to the Olympic Games is to build a cohesive team, it is never far from the Canadian players minds that theyre competing against each other for spots on the team. "Its something thats always there all year long, but were also a team," Apps said. "We fight hard against each other in practice every single day when we come to the rink to make each other better. "Theres six people in this group that wont be on the final roster and thats tough. It is in the back of peoples minds and thats just kind of the nature of the situation." A CBC online story in October questioned whether Wickenheiser would be Canadas captain at the 2014 Winter Games. Shes worn the C for Canada at every major tournament since 2007. "I dont know who will be the captain in Sochi," Church answered. "Hayley is definitely one of the ones were considering. Shes part of our leadership group that weve established. "It could be reading too much into it in terms if its jeopardy. We want a team with a lot of good quality leaders in it and whether people wear Cs or As theyre going to do a good job." Wickenheiser told The Canadian Press on Monday she was not available for an interview. Church has rotated his letters between different players this winter. "If you think you have leadership completely where it should be and you dont pay any attention to it, thats when things go wrong," Church said. "You always have to work on that aspect of your team. "Especially coming out of Ottawa and the results we had there and what we want to do, we want to build a team that has a lot of leaders in it that can step up at different times." Hefford will be Canadas captain in Lake Placid with Ward and Irwin her assistants, said Church. The absence of Wickenheiser, Ouellette, Mikkelson and Poulin at the Four Nations will force inexperienced players to shoulder more responsibility, he added. "Theres a huge opportunity for the players that are here this week to rise to the occasion," Church said. "There are big expectations on them to carry the load here without having that safety net. Thats a good thing for our younger players to experience." The Four Nations will also be Canadas first look at Finland and Sweden since the world championship. The Finns were the Olympic bronze medallists in 2010, but were beaten by the Russians for bronze in Ottawa. The Swedes, the surprise Olympic silver medallists in 2006, dropped to seventh at the world championship. The four remaining exhibition games against the U.S. women are scheduled for Dec. 12 in Calgary, Dec. 20 in Grand Forks, N.D., Dec. 28 in St. Paul, Minn., and Dec. 30 in Toronto.
