If the RFL have any backbone then O'Loughlin won't be available for your game next weekend after going in with the knees on Damien Blanch, he later had to leave the field injured.

Quick quiz question.

Which player was banned earlier in the week by the RFL for the same offence of leading with the knees and which team did he play for ?

.............All we need is a decent ref who plays it fair.........Ah well.......

Good luck for next week - I think this will be the game of the year. I'm not sure if anyone is going to get past Wire this season (especially not Leeds) - they do look as though the team most likely to beat them is themselves.

Does anyone else kind of hope we don't win against Wigan? If it were Leeds, by the result of some minor miracle, in the final I wouldn't mind, losing to them isn't a problem. Losing to Warrington in a Grand Final would be a bit horrific however.

leeds will beat the wires .
we will beat the dirty cheating pies.
we will avenge those previous GF defeats to leeds and send graham on his way down under as a CHAMPION.


COYS.

Dream on. As if Leeds will come anywhere near Warrington.

Coward.

That's me. I was at peace with us losing in the playoffs and not spending £150 to get wet on a cold October Saturday in Manchester.

You can still save your money and keep warm even if Saints get there you know.

Then the rest of us can still enjoy the final while the surrender monkeys cower in front of the TV.

Nah, can't do that. If we got there the kids would want to go, so I'd be forced to.

They must have got their courage from their mum

It's not really about fear. I'm not scared of us losing or us not being the best. I've kind of accepted that, we're massive underdogs in this series. It's the trapsing round Manchester, losing and getting soaked on the walk back to the car and the missing £150 I'll have that I'm more bothered about.

We will not win the Grand Final.

Definitely the more likely.

Im a Wigan fan, and can honestly say im really quite embarrassed by some of the petty posts by fellow Wigan supporters!!! But some of the retorts by Sts fans havent been much better!!! In all next weeks game is going to be a cracker!!! The results of any previous games this season mean nothing!!! This is going to be a Wigan v St Helens Semi-Final Play-off game, as well as a derby match....its going to be the game of the season so far!!! I cant call it! Its going to be a great advert for Rugby League!!! I already have my ticket and cant wait for it!!! St Helens v Wigan are nearly always classic games regardless of league form!!! Lets stop this , my dads harder than your dad nonsence, and start to build up to what is going to be a classic game to which no one knows who'll win until the final hooter!!! Lets enjoy the build up this week and see what happens!!!

Good luck to both teams
Lets keep it Lancashire(ish)
