Quote: NickyKiss "From our perspective I’m hoping we can get a good start against Wire in a Grand Final for a change! We’ve been on the back foot in 2016 and 2013 with silly errors and Wire have gone in front. Since the 2010 GF I’ve yet to come away from one feeling we’ve really hit top form and I’m crossing my fingers Saturday will see us do that.
The one thing that keeps giving me the creeps is that Wire simply must and will win a title one day and that day could be Saturday. You must be due everything dropping in to place and I’ve always felt when Wire do finally win one, it’ll be unexpected and come on the back of a year of ups and downs rather then a season of flying along building up hype.'"
I've always said that 'Our year' will come off a hit and miss season. We've flown under the Radar pretty much all year and popped up at the last minute. if it is to be ours then this year is our best opportunity IMO.
All the focus is on Wigan and Wayne's last game along with Sam, Batty and Sutton; The last hurrah so to speak. Wayne will have your lads fired up all week and that what I'm most worried about. Could go either way though, your lads could either have the game of their lives and make us look stupid once again or they could overplay and loose their heads, a la Ben Flower Vs Saints. I think that if Wire have any chance we have to get off our defensive line early, restrict the space for your halves to work in and force the error.
I can see a classic being played on Saturday. Close game down to the last minute. I just hope if we're in front we have the nouse to close the game out which is something we've always struggled with.
See yous all on Saturday, here's hoping we can all enjoy a beer together, have the banter and leave it at that
