Giants Authentic Jersey Tigers and Leeds Rhinos lie less than 20 miles apart. As local rivalries go, they do not get much more intense. That much will be evident on Saturday night when their two worlds collide at

Authentic Ed Dickson Youth Jersey Old Trafford in the 20th Super League Grand Final.They may be close as the crow flies but the two clubs are a long way apart in many other respects. This is David versus Goliath, played out on the sport’s biggest stage – and, even though the pre-match chatter has been dominated by Zak Hardaker’s omission from Castleford’s squad for a breach of club rules, it still has all the makings of a classic.While the talk at Castleford, appearing in their first Grand Final four years after almost going out of business, has been about the start of an era and building a legacy – with or without Hardaker depending on the ramifications of the coming days – for Leeds the story is the exact opposite.How Castleford react to the bright lights and noise of Old Trafford is uncertain but everyone knows what to expect from a Leeds side making a record-extending 10th Grand Final appearance on Saturday. This, though, is no ordinary final for the Rhinos: it is a game which feels as though it is not the beginning of an era, as it may be along the M62 at Castleford, but the end of one at Headingley.

Only three men who played in Leeds’ first Grand Final win against Bradford in 2004 remain at

Their captain, Danny McGuire will leave for pastures new at Hull Kingston Rovers, while his long-serving team-mate, Rob Burrow will retire from the game.“When I knew Danny was leaving, it made me realise it helps leaving with him,” Burrow admitted earlier this week. “The stadium is changing, me and Danny are going and it’s quite a significant year for everything transforming at Leeds.”

Burrow will remain at Leeds in an off-field capacity but for McGuire – Leeds born and bred – this match really is the end of a near two-decade association with the Rhinos. It has shades of two seasons ago, when Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock and Kylie Leuluai all left Leeds in the ideal manner: with another Super League title.“I’ve had a brilliant time at Leeds. It’s been a massive part of my life,” McGuire said. “To finish

But for myself and the club it’s the right time.”For only the second time in Grand Final history the game will be played in front of a sell-out crowd. The first occasion was for the farewell of Sinfield, Peacock and Leuluai, when Leeds beat Wigan. This year there is little doubting that the appeal of their opponents has also helped contribute to the buzz.

It is ironic, too, that the spine of the side which has brought Castleford into uncharted territory has a distinct Leeds flavour to it. Hardaker, who won the Grand Final with Leeds

two years ago, will now not be involved but there are still two players released by Leeds as youngsters looking to

McShane is joined by the 2017 Man of Steel, Luke Gale, released by Leeds as a teenager, and the coach, Daryl Powell, who grew up on the terraces at Castleford and will fulfil a lifelong dream if he can steer the Tigers to a maiden title this weekend.But his association with Leeds also runs deep. Powell played in the inaugural Grand Final of 1998 for Leeds, before coaching the Rhinos for two seasons in 2001 and 2002. In four seasons he has transformed his boyhood club from perennial Super League strugglers to favourites to become champions on Saturday, even after Hardaker’s exclusion.
