We've brought through many but they haven't been good enough. Too many to even begin to name unfortunately. Philbin is kicking on and maybe Livett will stick around but we have nobody else who has made a stake for their place and kept it. Currie is the only other one but he's going to be a walking biscuit if he keeps up with his legs ripping like they do.

Appreciated, but.. Currie is a Wigan lad (i think). That is what i am talking about. I think him and Manfredi have had the same injury (i could be wrong) but Dom has proved it is possible with the right training it's possible to come back. Currie is one of the best second rower's in the world when fit. If he comes back the same though, that remains to be seen.

I never expected the win. They are better than us and the big thing was they had a lot more creativity about them than we did.

Better season than last year, losing in finals isn’t what you want but it’s a damn site better than fighting off relegation!

Losing in finals is actually just becoming like losing normal games now. When we lost the semi to Leeds in 2011 I was absolutely gutted, that [iwas[/i our year that one! Losing the finals in 2012 and ‘13 were bad but since then the CC finals and GF defeats I don’t think we’ve been the best side in any of them and can see why we’ve lost and accept it fairly well.

We need to put more thought into the structure of our squad.

We overachieved in 2016 and 2018. No way were we a particularly top side in either year but we reached four finals and finished 1st and 4th in the league. What does that say about the rest of the league?

I think we over achieved this year. No way with the way the half backs performed for most of the season should we have been in 2 finals. It seemed to me that Roberts suddenly decided he was a running half back last night so the ball died with him rather than getting out to the wing. We only have one truly creative player, recognised as mom last night but has been slagged off by supporters on this very forum. With at least one decent half next season we should create more problems for the top teams.
An 8.5 season for me.

Starting the season with so many unknowns it is very pleasing for the club to have finished 4th and played in both finals. However, our total lack of creativity in the halves has cost the club, the players and us fans the glory we crave. I am sure at one point in the second half Jack Hughes and Ratch were our half backs.

Next season we go again, hopefully with two new halves who can control and create.

tomkins and leuluai to get 1 match bans following the grand final, tomkins for the knee, and leuluai for dangerous contact (no specifics yet)

Not sure how any ref can have a decent game when they warn the same player three times and he still keeps him on the field when he should have been sin binned for two offences.

Hicks, like Warrington, bottled it.

Even if Tomkins is sin binned for 10 mins its a completely different game. Their is more space in their defence, their attack is weakened etc.

A shallow victory like Saints if we won like that.

Enjoyed the game, a reet battle, Wire had no creativity, or they would have won, Wigan are the most difficult side to beat, they will miss Shaun Wane more than any player leaving. Congratulations to both teams in a somewhat uninspiring season.

All I know is we have no excuse not to win next year with a depleated rudderless Wigan and a Barbaless Saints.
Not even sure I'd count a GF win next year...more like a gimme.

Wonder who will bite first RD, AS108 ,Lebanon James, Judder Man, Saddened, Whiffy Kipper.............

lets just say, don't put much money on lebron

Thanks for that Cat.

What happened in the tunnel at half time? Can anyone shed some light on it?
