Most Wigan fans think we're going to get mullered, I just hope the team doesn't think the same way  |

It isn't a right or anything like a foregone conclusion but you must admit that experience of winning these games counts for something?
If it doesn't Leeds must just be ultra lucky! Talent comes in to the equation massively but that knowledge and know how is massive.
I look at it like this-
Talent- Hudds, Wire and Leeds are all equal.
Mentality and experience- Leeds are streets ahead of both but I'd also put Wire ahead of you guys due to their CC record.
Things do change though and I liked the look of the steel in your side at the DW. |

It was not so long ago that Leeds couldn't win a Final to save their lives
Don't forget that - it took them a lot of losing to learn how to win, and now they boast an untouchable record of Grand Finals
The Giants have gone through the same process, we know all the ways there are to lose, now all that's left is to win.

But yet Leeds cannot win the Challenge cup during their 5 titles and Warrington cannot win the Grand Final?
What matters is NOW and the mentality of the players. We Giants fans have seen first hand that a lack of momentum makes it hard work. We both lost last week but in massively different circumstances. Momentum.

Don't worry you may not be that bad.
If you can reverse your form since June. |

Huddersfield big big favourites for this one, and with our pick being dominated by Leeds so easily(and bar Hull in the CC, by lots of other teams lately) i guess we're hoping that they at least turn up this time.
If they don't, we're in for a long long night!

| Quote: XBrettKennyX "It's a strange one again.
Firstly I think Wigan will go into this 100% and you guys will be in for a shock. If you beat us then fair enough.
However, from a progression perspective there is a case to be advantageous for Wigan to lose on Thursday.
We lose, beat Stains. Clubcall tradition dictates that Huddersfield would then choose Wigan.
There is a school of though that says it's better to play Huddersfield than Leeds or Warrington in a semi.
As I said, I don't for one minute think Wigan will deliberately go out to throw the game, but a loss is by no means the be all and end all.'"
Wigan will be for a shock if they think they can just turn up. |

Dont forget that they've 'not been trying' for the last few weeks though. I expect them to be completely fresh and especially with us getting battered by the Bulls last week the result is guaranteed.
