This.
I'm looking forward to this game, I'm going to enjoy the atmosphere we'll generate and the all or nothing feel to it. Then see where it takes us.
I've stated earlier that I want to win the next two games, but that's out of my hands. Pressure of expectation is all on Saints, and that may be our greatest weapon.

Nah.
We will win it...and with some ease.

| The hardest game any 2 teams has played this season was the 1/4 final between us and Pies...both teams felt it a week or 2 after.
Imo there hasn't been a game all season with that intensity....that is how good Wire and Wigan are when they have to be.....Saints and Cas can't compete to that level.
No question in my mind who's at OT...
And what another brutal game it'll be...but Wire will still edge it.

Also if you refer to other people's posts as "diatribe" because you don't agree with them it is not conducive to debate. That's one thing I do not like in this forum - the way contrary views seem to bring out the worst in people. I respected your viewpoint even if privately I think you are living in cloud cuckoo land thinking we will win the GF.'"
Really Wire71??? It certainly read like that - as you addressed my points in a list!!!! Lets just say you're being at least a tad disingenuous!!!!
Quote: Wires71 "I hope you are right and I admire your optimism. The concern is posts like these (I call it blind faith) attract ridicule from our rivals as they believe we suffer from self delusion. '"
And excuse me if you will Wire71, but my opinion of your post as a diatribe is not an insult, it's my opinion of your post; in the same way that your viewpoint (above) is an opinion on mine. We've both disagreed with each other's points, but don't try and use virtue signalling to get the upper hand - it's pathetic. I have respected your viewpoint; may I ask thoughThe concern is posts like these (I call it blind faith) attract ridicule from our rivals as they believe we suffer from self delusion[/i"? Look matey, don't start throwing stones from glass houses and then start crying to your mum when one flies back.
Just a bit of advice for you: don't manipulate quotes, and don't try pushing your negative agenda with sanctimony-most people can see through it.

Finally Wire71, if posters of other clubs view my views on the semifinal outcome as overly optimistic or deluded, that's their problem. Last time we played saints (at their ground )a few months back, we should have beaten them, or at least got a draw. You can be as pessimistic as you like, but don't criticise others for their optimism, especially by backing up your view with falsified quotes.'"
That was one of our worst performances of the season and one of your bests yet you still lost.

Worst?. LMS was running around like he'd won the national lottery.
Anyways...it was that game that ultimately lost you the CC semi final you all cheered for.
As for our best...that wasn't even close...we never got out of second gear and could have won the game 6 times in the last ten minutes.... hence the Saints Long DG celebrations.

| Could you win the semi? Yes. Will you win it? It’s highly unlikely. Could you win the semi and the GF? Definitely not.
You’re by a long distance the worst side in the top 4, the fact that you’ve finished behind Cas with the injuries they’ve had says a lot. The problem you have (or at least the main one) is your attack is nowhere near good enough against any of the top sides. Two clueless halves and a fullback who doesn’t turn up against the good sides means you’re unlikely to trouble us enough. Barba plays like he has the past couple of weeks then we win comfortably. Once you’ve stopped filling your squad with the likes of Thompson, Pomeroy, Livett, Patton, Brown, Roberts and Akauola then you’ll have a chance of winning at OT. The only players that get near our squad are Charnley (even Grace outplayed him the other week), Clark and Cooper. I’d say Hill as well if he wasn’t such a liability. That says a lot.

Don’t know why I’m biting but anyway, what does the celebration have to do with the performance?
And the difference between the CC semi and this one is that in the games before the CC we’d played very poorly and were scraping wins. This time we’ve played ourselves into good form and Barba is back to his best.

| We've been through all this before. Saints are favourites on Thursday. But your season of winning the hub cap and winning the previous meetings in 2018 against the Wire will count for nought if you get turned over.
Come back on Thursday, we all get the point your making regarding my teams better than your team during the season.

Your arrogance has bitten you on the before (it's nice to see you come out of hiding following the semifinal loss).
One thing though AS108, if we do lose the semifinal, I'll still be posting on here straight after the game and certainly not going into a recluse (like a few names unmentioned).

You’ve got to be joking? As a Wigan fan that was the worst performance from Wigan I have seen since the 75-0 defeat to Saints. If that’s the best you can find your gonna be in for a very long night on Thursday

| I have very little doubt that we will be well beaten on Thursday night, but the arrogance of some posters from other clubs is incredible.
After last season, I'm happy to be the worst team in the top 4 by a long way, and to have no chance of winning on Thursday, let alone winning a Grand Final......
Roll on next season!
