Wigan are the benchmark club we need to emulate. Everything about them is geared to success and the "in season" quadruple would be an incredible achievement and worthy of SPOTY Team of the Year.

I don't hate them, I admire them.

Couldn't care less. I don't watch the crap event even if we are in it.

I admire them and hate them.

^^^^

Agreed. Also Wigan winning the Grand Final is a pretty regular occurrence anyway so other than when they've beaten us in the final I don't really think anything of it. Hull KR more or less coming from nowhere to win it before we do would hurt. I'd say the same if it was Leigh or anyone else other than the regular winners.

Erm yeah okay.

Wigan to win , purely because I want the first new name on the trophy to be Warrington Wolves

You just have to hope Joe Burgess comes a cropper in those tiny in-goal areas whilst chasing back to stop Wigan going 42-0 up at half-time. A bump on his empty noggin might knock the racism out of him.

Hull KR for me but it ain't going to happen..same clubs winning it year after year..won't be watching probably have rising damp on followed by the darts

That is the reason the TV is dwindling year on year, when people don't tune in to games the ratings go down and so does the TV money, I always make a point of putting any game on, even if I dont watch it just to add the the viewing figures

Unfortunately, unless you are one of the 12,000 people to have been recruited by the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board to act as representatives of the overall UK viewing public, then the official viewing figure for a match will not be affected by whether you watch it or not. Official TV viewing figures are based solely on those 12,000 monitored people, with some groovy mathematical formula being used to convert those figures into a national number.

That sounds like one hell of a marathon episode of Gogglebox.
