Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

The only "dream final" for me is one that Warrington win.

The script is written, the stage is set, time for glory Wigan-style.
Just saying.'"
One of the reasons why this is probably the most intriguing final in years.
Both teams have equal/similiar circumstances going into the final, in nearly all aspects.
Whenever that happens you normally get a very close game, im talking 2002 sean long drop goal close. |

Wonder if Wigan would risk their Captain?
Looking at the bench from both games, we are way stronger on paper.
Wigan: Hughes, L Tomkins, Crosby, Taylor
Wire: Carvell, Morley, Monas, Cooper

Throw in Warrington's rather long wait for a championship, their recent domination of Wigan and their general fixation with Wigan both on and off the field. |

Good luck Wire! Especially Chris Hill and Micky Higham. Hope you smash the pie munchers all round Old Trafford! Should be one hell of a match though, I wouldn't like to call it!

We've got a trophy in the bag and I don't mind Wire because they don't have prize clowns like Ablett, McGuire and Bailey in their ranks. If they win it their players will show some respect to their opposition and enjoy the moment for themselves.
I won't begrudge them the win so the pressure is off for me.
Cheers for your concern though  |

Wigan
His foot was in a protective boot at the end of the game tonight and he seemed to be limping.
I'd be surprised if he made the World Cup let along next week.

It's a big deal for you as you genuinely have a very good opportunity to become Champions, beating one of your closest rivals, who are one of the biggest clubs in the British game.
It's a dream final for Warrington, nobody else.'"
Utter rubbish. Warrington and Wigan have been by far the best two teams of the last three years. Not only that, but the games between them have been excellent, highly skilled games. |

Look, don't start with all this or you'll make me take back all the hateful things I've said about Wigan over the years!
I'll settle for a 1-0 score to us, though of course I'd like to see us win convincingly. It's going to a big, big, BIG ask and I just hope our lads can steel themselves mentally to take the big one. It's going to be a brutal game for sure, and if the halves live up to their potentially, there should be some skill on show too.
Bring on OT, I can NOT wait.

Fixation on and off the field? We have both captured 4 trophies of the past 4 years, we generally knob you with ease each time we play play(cue a Wigan gf win), we finished higher than you this year, we own our stadium and don't squat in a football stadium. We are able to keep hold of our most talented players. How are we fixated with Wigan? |

Might watch Thursday's game again this afternoon. Then the 2009 semi v Pies at Widnes just to get me going. Loved the atmosphere that day and think OT will be even better.

Really can't wait for this, if we lose I'm gonna get so much grief from my Wigan based mother-in-law, but if we win - now that would be the ultimate.
COME ON THE WIRE!!!!

Try studying your club's history, it shows a dislike of Wigan, coupled with having plenty of Wiganers in your team. |
