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  |

Looking at the bench from both games, we are way stronger on paper.
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 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. |

Since the start of the 2010 season Wigan and Warrington have won 204 games between them in all competitions and 9 trophies between them since the 2009 season - no other teams come close to that as a pair - yet haven't played each other in any final since 1990. Don't kid yourself fella; this Grand Final is this sport's dream final! |
