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 ![]()
LOL. I can see what you are trying to do.  I too hope your players don't crack when they cross the white line.
Anyway who led you to believe we are the best team in Superleague?

Mathers
Hicks
King
Monaghan
Morley
Carvell
V Anderson
Johnson
Rauhihi
and most importantly; Tony Smith would imply they are hardly novices in these situations.

Stop being a nob. No-one is saying Warrington are the best team in the league, only that we are in form and should be confident going into the game. What's wrong with that?
There's massive pressure on both clubs - Warrington because of decades of underachievement and mediocrity, Wigan because of a superiority complex that is an ingrained as it is misguided. The reality is that the players won't give a shiny one.

I don't think Wire fans having confidence is misguided at all tbh and the more sensible ones on here will admit that your favourites in a tight contest but one or 2 of the posts have basically just written off any challenge from Wigan.
Like i say that pleases me and the 'fact' that we'll go in as underdogs is great for us. In the play offs for the past 2 years we went in as underdogs at Catalans and won, away at Bradford and won(just) and away at Hull and won. I don't class us any more of an underdog in this game and we've got some experience in these type of games.
I literally feel like we have nothing to lose in this game and i'm pretty confident the players will give it a dig. They're all about ego and this is a perfect game for them. |

The form table and a 'few' Wire fans. |

That was a compliment about the form table.
Lets face it on form it should be a cracker with Wire coming out on top. We have actually played pretty well outside of the shambles at Celtic over the past 6 weeks or so and Wire seem to have got that winning habit and are grinding some games out playing away from top form.
I'm looking forward to the game already. |

Our defence has been awesome, but I am interested to see how we will react if we get some bad luck or make some mistakes to allow a decent team to get a decent start on us. |

It's hard to tell how either side will react in a semi final because the pressures will be totally different to any game but i'd expect both sides to really go at it for the first 20 minutes.
I suppose our hope is that the 'old Wire' reappear in the pressures of such a big game but i'm not holding my breath. Tony Smith looks to have you well drilled and i think the prop forwards will give you the edge.
Should be a good game though. |

Dream on the old wire...... Tony Smith is in charge now the old wire has left the stadium. Having him on the day will also put pressure on you. ] |
