Haha
And Wigan have always liked little Warrington?

| Quote: Les Norton "Why would it be a dream final for Shaun McCrae?
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.'"
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!

| Good luck on Saturday, I'll be cheering on Wire for a day; many of your players deserve that trophy and it's shocking that you haven't won it in recent years. Plus, you finished 2nd which means you will be allowed to be called Champions. Wigan finished outside of the Top 2, which means regardless of if they win tomorrow, they will never be worthy of the title. Well, according to their logic in recent years.
Anyway, while I'd still love Leeds to be there, I'm looking forward to a final where for once, my enjoyment won't be based on the result!

| It would be great to win it this year with us not having a single player in the SL Dream Team. If we do win it we should request a game against them in a warm up before the World Club Game.

| As a rhinos fan I will be supporting you next week, why you may ask, firstly you are the better footballing side, secondly I like tony smith he is a genuine all round good bloke.
Thirdly I am a big fan of Adrian Morley I would like to see him finish his wire days on a high.
Oh I almost forget briers, he is one of the games characters and a great player. I even enjoyed his shot at ablett and unlike some on our site I did not think it was a hanging offence.
Anyway good luck next Saturday .

I have a dream. Twenty minutes to go and the game is effectively over as a contest, we are going to be Champions, and for those last twenty minutes 25-30,000 fans are chanting.
You can shove your ******* Dream Team up your ****
You can shove your ******* Dream Team up your ****
You can shove your ******* Dream Team
Shove your ******* Dream Team
Shove your ******* Dream Team up your ****
Of course, this would never happen, we'd be too giddy to chant

I'll echo that. I loved Moz as a raw dominating second rower for us and when he owned the Aussies in their comp, the only Englishman they've genuinely feared for years. And I'd sooner cheer on convicts over Wigan, or saints or even Bradford for that matter.

| This is all getting silly, Leeds fans are now showing some real class and actually making me warm to the Rhinos! If this carries on there'll be no teams left in SL for me to vent spleen on.

| Should be a cracking match.
I was there in 1990 and was really really upset when we lost - not helped by the fact that Cull wasn't playing.
We were playing against a ''dream'' team then - Edwards, Offiah et al - and in all honesty we only had a small chance of winning.
Now 23 years on I have genuine hope.
Yes Wigan are good and have some excellent players, but so do we.
I am very impressed with their forward pack - all relatively young and mainly ''home grown''.
This is where it will be won or lost.
Assuming House is fit I can see us having Moz, Cav, Monas and Harrison on the bench and them all coming on at the 20 minute mark and making a real impact.
The big question mark for me is over Hodgson and whether he plays, and if so where does Ratch move to.
Before the semi, my answer was to replace Bridge, but he had an immense game.
So maybe Riley drops out, Atkins to wing and Ratch to left centre, or Bridge to replace Riley.
Can't see Ratch being on the wing.
I think Monas and Higham will cause havoc from dummy half - especially later on.
The key danger is to make sure their forwards don't get on top and we have to be really tight in defence around the ptb.
