Quote: The Reaper "Surely you’re not deluded enough to think that was an entertaining game for anybody other than Wigan fans? I don’t expect you to care about that and nor should you (I couldn’t care less when saints win and it’s boring) but to try and deny it was a boring game is a bit odd. The last 2 finals have been horrendous watches, and I went to the GF in person and usually enjoy live sport whatever happens due to the atmosphere etc. but it was awful. I really think the RFL need to do something to sort out how bad of a spectacle our game is becoming (and yes, funnily enough the 2 most boring teams are the most successful and that probably dates back for the majority of the last 10 years). That’s a conversation for another thread though!

Congratulations, was a hell of a defensive performance from you guys and Wire never looked in the game. I didn’t think you were great with ball in hand but you didn’t need to be, as Wire were giving you plenty of chances to attack by gifting great field position and ball time and time again. That said, you never really needed to score more than 2 tries as that defence was never going to be broken and if the score was closer, I honestly doubt Wire even get the try they got.

Going to take some effort to stop you taking the lot this year. Cant see you not finishing top with the amount of home games you’ve got left and if anyone is to get the better of you in the play offs they’re going to have to bring their A game and other than probably us, that’s likely not going to even be enough from the other teams. Hopefully we’ll get the Wigan v Saints final we’ve wanted since the covid one! At least that will look like a big deal on the telly'"

Well Thesaint71 was entertained and I believe he is a Saints fan icon_biggrin.gif
Unless he was deluded aswell.

Quote: MadDogg "What an athlete Luke Thompson is. I'm sure Mike Danson thinks he's worth every penny.'"


The amount of our fans complaining about wages and being finished etc I hope played its part in his performances. Best front rower in SL this year by a mile. Lets hope he sees the full 4 years out of his contract

Thompson was great of course, but I've been away since the Final and have only now had the chance to watch it back, and my first thought was, how good was Ellis?

Watched it back sober and Ellis had his best game in Wigan colours.

Quote: NickyKiss "There are loads of positives in those stats but one thing that really jumps out to me is the contributions of Thompson, Havard and Ellis. You're lucky if you have one middle forward (hate using that term but will have to with Ellis playing at loose forward) capable of playing 80 minutes but we have these 3, all of which are ideal modern day forwards. They are absolute athletes, big but mobile, defensively fantastic and will test their opposite numbers by still being able to go as strong late in a stint (or late in a game if they do complete the 80 minutes) as they were at the start of it. We're so fortunate to be in a position that we have those 3 guys and can then just rotate around them.'"


Exactly. Allows us to be a bit more creative on the bench with such as Walters (who can fill in at prop anyway) should we need to, and especially trying to rotate and introduce younger, less experienced players with the upcoming 4 matches in 16 days or whatever it is.

Ellis plays his best when the big games come along.
