But that's an assumption, not a fact. And it's an assumption you choose to believe because thus far your team hasn't participated in this fixture. When they do, and it won't be long - maybe as soon as next year - and you have an actual interest in seeing what's in front of you, I predict that you'll consider it a much more competitive match than you suggest.
Don't buy into that Phil Gould-esque claptrap.
I've been to all the Wigan WCCs, and on no occasion, with the possible exception of 1991, did I feel the opposition weren't giving it a big shot.
I'm not pretending the NRL isn't much stronger than us overall, but we can often match them on the day in single fixtures. It's a crying shame that so many British fans are either so dazzled by the NRL that they live in denial of this, or are so determined to play down the achievements of rivals that they prefer to promote the fictional negatives.
