Win next week will confirm us in top 6.

Don't care what anyone else says or thinks, but without those injuries in the 2013 final we win at a canter.

Monaghan's injury was a fluke, but credit to Wigan, they knew they had to stretch the rules and their attack on Ratchford was deliberate and was the game changer - They knew they had to disrupt us and they did and the rest is history.

Forget the GF losses. Our best ever team was in 2011 and we didn't even get to old Trafford.

2011 was our best season in terms of league form but I think the 2012 team was slightly stronger.
We lost Louis Anderson and Matt King and brought in Waterhouse, Ratchford and Hill.

Given that Hill was even better than Morley and Carvell in 2012 that overall made us a stronger team.

its very close.... still a crime neither of those teams won the GF.

Only thanks to a Richie Myler penalty that gifted the game to Leeds if I recall. That was such a frustrating year after watching week after week of sheer class.

For love's sake. 24 hours (actually less than that) later they're sort of saying "you never know" because we looked half decent against an awful cas side who had a man missing for ten minutes and a few unfortunate injuries along the way.

They really are a joke. Are they really the best we've got to sell our game on TV?

Chambers knew in his post match interview, it’s good we are winning again let’s see what we do with Salford next week.

And let's not forget the Mighty Paul Wood.
If anything our games against Leeds & Wigan were lost through cynical tactics by the opposition. The fight that was started by Ryan Bailey that gave momentum back to Leeds & the dirty ,win-at-all-cost foul play by Wigan.

Yeah, I thought he was very sensible and diplomatic, and didn't get carried away or fall for sky's silly questions that may as well have been "is it your year again now you've won two games in a row"?

I used to fume about 2013 and the apparent hit job the crust munchers did on us. But with hindsight and (sadly) more maturity I can't really criticise Wigan in this instance too much, since SBW smashed Blake Green in the face in the first five minutes. Live by the sword and all that. However maybe it's another example in an 80 minute microcosm of how we don't do the clever/niggly stuff as well as the big teams, hence we don't win the big one. Wigan did it better and got the job done, sadly.

Yep Wigan did what they needed to win.
