Well done Warrington and absolutely over the moon for my good mates in Stockton Heath and Appleton Thorn who will no doubt enjoy their day at Wembley.

Don't be afraid of the crustmunchers and keep the faith.

As a Leyther in exile, I will be primrose and blue for the day. Well played and good luck ! I hope the final is a cracker.

I know we (me) have been a bit sidetracked by the fans behaviour but other than that I thought yesterday's game was a cracker.

One of my highlights yesterday was the look on Dufty's and Vaughan's faces when they ran towards the sticks before kick off...biggest grins ever they looked so excited and I knew then that we'd be winning that game.

Also really enjoyed watching Gleeson working with the backs pre kickoff. We look like a team that means business, a team with a plan just hope we can keep this feelgood factor going.

I’m assuming Gleeson’s thick grey cardigan holds some superstitious value…..otherwise I’m concerned why the maniac was wearing it in the blistering heat.

All I could think was "man he must stink of BO"

Very tough run up to the final now, Catalans then Wigan the week before we play them again in the final.

The impressive thing about yesterday was most of our try’s scored were proper rugby league free flowing efforts.. the spine of this team are playing some fantastic rugby along with the support players all doing their part as well. Massive credit to SB and MG for getting these team to the levels the players are showing and you get the feeling things are going to get better

We have come a long way from the high cross field kick to King plan A, B and C.

Haven't watched it second time round yet but I thought Philbin had a good game & got a few extra cheers from the fans for his efforts with the hard yards.

Has Gleeson been our most important signing? Think it was an excellent move to poach him from his promised job in the USA.

Hard to believe he is at the coaching level he is at now, given he was given the boot by Tony Smith and later Wigan did the same.

He seems to have turned his life around since those days.

Pace and width. With Ashton and Thewlis on either flank, the opposition has to hold its width in defence. By virtue of them holding their width, there are bigger gaps in the middle of the park for Dufty and Williams to exploit. It's really simple but leads to very attractive rugby. They are also weapons that, sadly, Wigan have too. Tactics for the final will be fascinating.

Completely agree. Our attacking options / plays seem to have increased exponentially since he joined. Add to that the better use of a players strengths eg Currie @13 and Dusty feeding off plays close to the opposition line, and you now see a dangerous attacking side playing attractive rugby. As 71 remarked, the days of the high ball to King and constant kicking through are long gone and now just form some of the attacking options we have available.

I'd say we under utilise the kick to King option these days!

It would still be a useful thing to do ... & could be resurrected at any time. But at the time we seem to use it so much & it was virtually our only "not so cunning" plan.
