That's what playoffs or finals should be like. Great Game and could have gone either way. Only disappointment was listening to Wanes comments at the end. Personally thought it was poor blaming officials for result that should have won by more. God knows what he would have said if he'd lost. Enjoy the final think you'll walk it.

Best game for a number of years. Credit to both teams.

With the new structure and the new top 4 play off structure I'm hoping that there will be plenty more games with the same intensity in future seasons.

That game last night is the benchmark in terms of intensity going forward. We need more games in our league like that to improve the game and the national team.

Hopefully the new format will help to produce more games like that.

I think the game represented the very best of Rugby League. Two teams fully committed to open rugby with tackling of the highest order, making for a very entertaining match.
Would have made a very good final, and in my opinion both teams will / would be to strong for Saints struggling with injuries in vital areas.

This is either a monumental piece of wishful thinking, or some thinly veiled bravado.

Either way, I hope this attitude extends to your team (though I suspect it won't).

Anyone going into a Grand Final in a 100% relaxed state because they've already won something could be in for a very rude awakening indeed. Last year we entered the OT arena with the Challenge Cup under our belt (not the hubcap!!!) - and trust me, that meant absolutely nothing - zero! - when we thought we were looking down the barrel of defeat.

Your lot will be just as keyed up as our lot. It's the biggest trophy in the British game, and Saints will know without needing to be told that there is nowhere to hide and no excuse you can offer if it all goes pear-shaped.

It was, to be fair Wire played their part and could have won it both teams gave it everything we have hit form last 4 games same again and it's ours
