Hey RB I aint got an axe to grind against Wigan. I had a high profile bet with another forum member that I expected your mob to finish ahead of us this season in the league. Matters have conspired against me somewhat - I thought the board would stick by Lowes for longer and never expected us to get Smith. I also expected you to kick on from last season.

We are inconsistently bad and it will take a while to lose that mantle. Having said that I bet you are getting slighly envious of our new found form?

just bad grammer then?

i imagine you can be consistantly bad or inconsistant and bad.

inconsistantly bad means your bad but not consistantly which kind of doesn't make sense...

go on admit it you have a thing for primrose and blue and really yearn to be a Wire

come on RB gissa hug

I actually expected you to finish above us. You guys bought arguably one of the best props in SL while we got an overweight hooker and a winger 1 year earlier than expected. I didn't expect Lowes to let you down as much as he did tbh.

And I wouldn't say we are envious of your form as it was clear that TS would have an impact. I still think you will finish above us and I still expect you to beat us in the SF. I said it after Hock got banned and now that we have some players out, it will be even harder. I still expect a good match though.

RB when you have come away from as many semis/finals as I have in the 80's and early 90's where we were beaten by your full-time pro team you lose sympathy with your current plight. We owe you for sure, but I am not massively confident.

correct,i too have suffered at the hands of wigan through the 80's and 90's,if we win the semi i'll shall be gloating and baiting them with fervour as they have done in the past,i will be trolling on their board and expect to be banned instantaneously.

We laugh but it still hurts. I knew when I was 18 at Wembley watching my hopes and dreams be trampled on by that lot that our day would come again.

I hope they get to taste the bitterness of defeat. I can't get it out of my head though that they will win and all the memories come back.

Threads like these leave me totally at ease for the semi final and without a care in the world.

To many the game would seem in the bag for Wire so theres no pressure on Wigan especially with a few injuries. If I were Brian Noble i'd just tell the Wigan side to go out and have a go because we may aswell go down fighting against what i'm led to believe is now the best side in superleague

Hope the nerves don't get to the Warrington players on the day but then they should be used to these big games.............shouldn't they?

bet you've got a blackberry?
i'm not taking my lap top to widnes, i'd never get the smell out
