Not just winning but doing it with a style that I've never seen before. They manage to keep the intensity the entire game. You just want to watch them play again soon as the game is finished. When Sam Tomkins picks up the ball its like he's 14 and the rest of the pitch are 10 year olds. Fantastic

Well done Wigan eusa_clap.gif

Wigan are no different from the dominant periods of the bulls, saints and leeds seasons ago. The games intensity was higher between 2002 to 2008, its the last 4 years the intensity has dropped off, Wigan and Warrington are the teams that have perhaps returned to something like the past standard.

Sam Tomkins is untouchable. Cut and above the rest of Super League - no-one comes remotely close. The best fullback of the modern era.

This Wigan team are an awesome side but we're not the finished article yet. There's still plenty to improve upon. I expect us to hit peak form come the end of the season.

I just hope we finally get some decent opposition to play who will give us a game.

I'll reserve judgement until after the GF

If they have won the CC and GF double in style then I would be inclined to agreee with you.

Lots of rugby to be played between now and the end of the year.........

Fans of other clubs are going to realise that the period of Leeds/Saints/Bradford dominance was a golden era because they didn't have Wigan fans' hyperbolic crowing to deal with.
