On the whole we were far better than wigan but.....its alright saying "we were better, on another day we would have taken our chances and won handsomely etc etc". But whos to say on that day we will take those chances?. End of the day, wigan won. We lost. Thats what makes a champion team. You win whilst being dominated. Mcguire has instilled a steely determination into wigan and thats bad for the rest of the league. On paper Wigan dont look particularly strong at all. Certainly no where near as strong as the teams that have won the grand final since its inception. Man for man their pack is weak as was evident by the yards our pack made at will. But there is no doubting the class of their coaching set up.
Will wigan compete and win the grand final? Who knows? But their fans confidence is extremely justified and I for one would not be surprised if they did.'"
Wigan weren't dominated today at all, it was a game that could have gone either way, like I said it would be after you said on the Wigan board we'd win at a canter.
Wigan have a decent forward pack, Joel Tomkins has became a good player, O'Loughlin has been fantastic this year, O'Carroll played out his skin today and that's not forgetting that they were missing Coley and Riddell as First choice forwards.
Wigan weren't far off us in the last 2 games last season, and they got the drop on us in this one, at the DW it might be different, who knows? There's certainly not much difference between the teams any more.
As for saying stronger teams have won the Grand Final, Yes maybe they have, but there's also teams that have been at the same standard, or maybe weaker than this Wigan team that have won it as well.
