Thank Michael Maguire.
Ever since he rolled into town wigan have been very cynical like that. It's one of the negative aspects, of what is an extremley well drilled clinical team. |

so in a split second you think Hansen thought if i chuck my self into a tackle around his hips his legs will give out and he will be injured? Don't be stupid the only dirty ones throwing swinging arms around was warrington. |

| Quote ThePrinter="ThePrinter"I have no problem with the Harrison one, contact at the hip and attacker not wrapped up, it's when the guy is clearly stopped and held I don't like those. Cooper again tried the Westwood style punch towards the end.
I know many on here like him but seeing Tony Smith's smug cocky face lose has made my night. Said it all year that when his teams get into an arm wrestle and have to fight away from Plan A they struggle, whether it be Leeds or Wire.
Thought McIlorum should have got the MOM though.'"
My thoughts too.
McIlorum was superb.
Green played well but I think he got the sympathy (agenda) vote due to him overcoming the early injury and battling on... in the same way Sinfield did last year. |

Nah not really fussed just stating who I thought was the best player. Tomkins went ok, took a very good catch off a bomb but Wire stopped him making the decisive breaks in attack by focusing hard to stop him. This probably lead to the right side having chances though, which Goulding finally took after a few missed opportunities. |

I think Hansen saw an opportunity to tackle a player who was still on play and did just that. Unfortunately his leg buckled under him. Players get injured through both legal and illegal tackles - that's contact sport. This was a legal tackle.

Ha! Was more of a dig at ss.com's biggest troll! He rarely seems to reply to constructive criticism these days. |

Wigan were worthy winners (slightly different IMO from worthy Champions as continue to feel the club does not represent all that is good about RL). But the whole game lacked the quality I would expect from a Grand Final. Some really soft tries in there that would have left me mortified if I'd seen us do that in one of our finals.

What's not to like?
Plenty of young home grown players, play like an nrl team as opposed to leeds headless chicken approach.
They are a beacon of sporting perfection. |

I thought that. Some poor close range tries with poor defense. |
