| At long last the team remembered how to play rugby - not sure if it was a case of the team just deciding sod it we have nothing to lose or what but suddenly we actually looked like a decent team again with things like offloads and passing(!)
I'm pretty sure the players got so fed up of the ref (and who wouldn't he was awful for both teams - did his level best to ruin the game) that they got so fired up that the coaching game plan went out of the window and they just threw the ball around and it worked!

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
