Quote: verbatim "Even if we beat Salford Hull KR will likely still need to win on Friday to keep hold of 2nd place.'"


Yes, thats true, its odd that sky have moved the games to different days as it takes some of the drama out of it?

Quote: MadDogg "I'd just enjoy it mate. When you get to a point when the media and fans are desperately hoping another team wins and start to sulk when it doesn't happen, you know your club is doing well.'"


I get that, but it can be damaging ... even if only because it doesn't showcase the best of us to the rest of the world. I remember having a conversation with a rival club-supporting friend back around 1993, and he quite seriously told me that we in Wigan had no clue "what damage" we were doing to the game overall. He said something like "it's all very well celebrating another Cup win in which the opposition had no chance, but the rest of us are just demoralised and depressed that the game we love has been taken away from us."

He seemed to have no conception that the onus was on the also-rans to up their game. It's an age-old frustration I have with our sport. But then, we haven't won the Grand Slam yet, so I shouldn't get ahead of myself.

Its the tall poppy syndrome any one who rises above needs to be cut down asap.
Wigan are the most entertaining club at the min,we have it on the pitch just right but even more off the pitch.
It's an absolute joy to watch Wigan,enjoy it as much as you can it does'nt last forever.
We was also laughing at the Salford fans one minute "are you watching HKR " next "Salford Reds are rising" and "your support is f*cking sh*t " to the 15,000 from the 300 ,brilliant just brilliant.

Quote: Akinwale Arobieke "Won't Wigan be the first club to win a Grand Slam twice if it comes off? Only done 4 times previously, Hunslet, Huddersfield, Swinton and us in 1995.'"


What do you call the Grand Slam?

Quote: Zig "What do you call the Grand Slam?'"

In the Super League era, winning all 4 trophies in the same year, WCC, Challenge Cup, League Leaders and Super League.

Don't believe it's been done before. Saints won a treble in 2006 and the WCC the following year in 2007. Bradford won the WCC in 2006.

Same for Bradford who won a treble in 2003 but didn't win the WCC that year.

I think that Wigan are the only team to win all four trophies in a season. That happened in 1991/92 and 1993/94. Nobody has done it in the SL era.
