Quote: Alffi_7 "I had a nagging familiarity about this game and couldn’t work out why. I think it’s because Wigan & Saints have put this kind of performance on us so often, us close to full strength, them full of kids, and the kids almost or sometimes pulling it off. Great to see a Wire side doing that. I don’t know if that’s a Burgess effect or a good academy side coming of age - probably a lot of both, but shows the importance focusing on youth.
Well done Wire. Buzzing for Wembley, let’s not kid ourselves, we go in as underdogs, but we were in that position in 2019 and put in the best performance in years to pull it off. I know now this team will never let us down in terms of effort and with Williams & Dufty we can cause problems - it’s a nice place to be.'"
This. Exactly the same thoughts i had. Years gone by we would have been mauled by Wigan with that many first teamers missing. How times have changed. Thankfully, for us , for the better.
