What? Of course they are.



Maybe the League Cup yeah, but the FA Cup is still big time in football.

In a way I think he's right. It is a massive game for us.

Of course the match on Saturday is massive, whichever team wins it will go down in history as SL Champions 2013 whatever your views of the current format.

What makes this Saturday more massive, in terms of emotion, for me is that for many of the players it will mark the end of en era, win or lose. From a Wires perspective, Carvell, Brett & Moz (honourable mention to Coops as well) have spilt blood for the club; they have CC medals in the cupboard but if we miss out on Saturday I'll be as gutted, if not more, for them as much myself, the club and players and my fellow Wire fans that they never went down in history as members of a "champion" team. They deserve a fairytale ending and I hope they get it, and I'm nervous as hell for them and no other reason - I know Wigan are in a similar position, but frankly my dear I don't give a damn.

Saturday truly is the natural sunset for a wonderful era in the modern history of the club. Hopefully it will also represent the dawn of an equally joyous period.

Only on RL Fans could you find supporters playing down the importance of their team winning the league. You couldn't make it up!

Yeah he his right but i'd say its equally massive for both teams

I guess Gary Hetherington is referring to actually winning the GF, in which case he has to compare that to winning the CC. Obviously, in Leeds, winning the GF is a bigger money raiser for obvious reasons!

4 more sleeps.

I think it's a much bigger game for us than it is for Wigan. They've won the Grand Final in it's current guise twice before, one as recently as three years ago, and 19 championships in total. They've also won the Challenge Cup this year so have silverware for 2013 in the cabinet no matter what.

We have won three championships in our history, the last of which was 58 years ago, and have nothing else to look back on for this year.

If I was a Wigan fan I wouldn't be worried at all. As a Wire my head is wrecked every time I think about it - which is pretty much all the time!

This means so much more to us than Wigan, they have had years of success while we were getting thrashed by Saints 80-0 and struggling at Wilderspool on and off the pitch.
Was so gutted last year but we lost to the better team on the day and I just hope we can really turn up after the experience last year!
Still not been able to watch that game again was devestated!

Head says Wire by around 20pts another Wembley style performance like we did to Leeds in game 1, its my heart which is having doubts.

Just want it to hurry up.

And 74 more sloppy poops

Arf

Seriously everytime i think about saturday it gives me intense butterflies leading to the need of a toilet

Yeah I am so nervous already, I think i might pass out if we actually win this!
