| Lots of negativity this year and understandably so. Many games full of dull, tedious rugby. Lack of atmosphere as fans find it harder and harder to stay awake. A team that has never reached potential due to a plethora of injuries and questionable coaching.
BUT that game reminded me why I fell in love with the sport and why there's no sport like it when it reaches the heights. Fantastic entertainment, great atmosphere and a terrific effort and performance from both teams- well played lads! More of the same going forward!

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

| It's been a long time coming, but this Wigan team has it in them to perform like that. Big wins away at Hull and now Warrington and a win next week should guarantee 2nd place. Been saying all season we'd stroll into the top 4 and make the GF. Have an awful feeling we'll fall short at OT again but you've got to be in it to win it.
Wire looked out on their feet last night and Hull have fallen off the pace.
Wigan v Saints GF anyone? ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Decent chance of that I think.

Absolutely, been saying it for weeks now.
Wire will bottle it at home to Saints, and we'll beat hull.

Yes, if we fail to beat Catalans and Hull fail to beat Wire. We'd be 3rd on points diff, with Hull 2nd.

| I also think it's a good thing we are out of the equation for the LLS too, no added pressure on Friday. Hull and Wire will be both be going for it, let them knock 7 bells out of each other and then try to lift themselves for a semi & GF in the weeks after.
Current SL odds...
Wigan 2/1
Wire 9/4
Hull 11/4
Saints 7/2
