I disagree Pete. As I have said all season on here and elsewhere (and been pilloried for it), Warrington have been the best team all season and they have come into scintillating form at the right time to capture the Grand Final. If they sustain this form then they will be Champions as I don't think there is anyone who can beat them. Injuries could ruin it for them but other than that I think it's highly likely they are looking at a Championship trophy. And to be fair that would be right because although they only topped the league by one point, their for and against is way beyond everyone else's, including Wigan (and we've all played the same opposition with the same opportunities to make big scores against the weaker sides).

What do you disagree with?
I've said either wolves or Wigan will win the grand final as they are head and shoulder above the rest of super league.

That was the bit I disagreed with.
The shortened version: I think Wire are head and shoulders above the rest, including Wigan. Their win over Wigan to secure the League Leader's Shield is evidence of that.

I agree, Warrington have been the best team and finishing top proves that but I think Wigan will beat wolves in the grand final.

The shortened version
A Wigan side that had won the challenge cup the previous week and who's heads just weren't there. We made mistakes from the first minute to last in that game that we've not made in Maguires time here.
I've said on our board we'll be written off and thats just fine. I think it's the sort of motivation Wigan need to fire them up to the challenge of taking on a superb Wire side if we get the chance.
Not a chance they're head and shoulders above Wigan or an on form Saints for that matter.

Saints managed just fine in 2006.
Warrington are a better team than Wigan and the stats back that up.

| Sod the lot of ya. Saints will beat Wigan on Sunday and you can take that to the bank.
Bored of the doom and gloom brigade. I'm going to predict wins for Saints against Wigan both weeks now. I was just going with one.

It's my natural response to this much doom. I'm giving up on reasoned arguements and just going with plain good old supporter one eye'dness.
Saints are great, Gaskell is going to kick Wigan to death and Royce will not put a back on the bench.
Hell ya!!!!!!!

They've been the most consistant side without doubt and have played some great rugby. We on the other hand have gone through the motions at times in the lesser games and that has been the real difference when it comes down to it.
Wigan and Wires records in games against the top 4 this season would be pretty similar I guess and they would be the real measure of what sort of difference there is between the sides. Our head to head games should probably tell us more then they do. They beat us at the DW but we'd had a hangover after the WCC, we beat them at their place in the cup but they were missing a couple of big players and then they beat us at their place in the league but we'd come off the back of winning the challenge cup and the players minds were elsewhere (as was mine as I couldn't give a monkeys all week in the build up to the game).
If they prove to be better then us then fair play to them. They still have to prove that though.

Saints managed what just fine? Beating the might of Wakefield at home the week after Wembley? A rather different task to the one we faced 2 weeks ago.
We'll see in the next few weeks just how well Wigan do in trying to back up a Wembley win with the Title.

Saints in 2006 lost only four games by no more than four points.
Warrington are a better team than Wigan this season. You need to accept this to find peace.

Win it and we'll give them all the credit they deserve. They've been fantastic.
Whilst your blowing all this smoke up Wire's ars*s I take it you've wrote your chances off?
I don't see why.
