THE ghosts of seasons past have stalked both teams leading into this year's Intrust Super Cup grand final - with the Northern Pride and Easts Tigers carrying their own mental shackles into this year's decider.
The Pride however have already shaken off one burden - simply by claiming their spot in the premiership decider.
As they were again this year - the Pride of 2013 were the most dominant team of the season having claimed the minor premiership.
Last year however, they lost both their finals matches against Easts and eventual premiers Mackay and were left to look on as the Cutters claimed the spoils.
For the Tigers - the memory of last year's loss was more acute. Given their strong run in the finals series and spread of talent, they were favourites to claim their first major title since 1991 - but were swept away by the Cutters in a thrilling match.
