[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

First ever post, so here goes.
I have been to this corresponding fixture for the last 3 years, headingley x2 and KR last year. Each year I believe that we have gotten closer. We were well and truly battered in 2007, which I sort of expected. We gave Leeds a game in 2008 but again I never really expected a win. Last year we pushed Stains all the way, but just missed out. This year year I do believe we can go one better and make the GF. I think we are ready to take the next step. Does anyone else feel the same? Never been as nervous about a game for a long time.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

"Quietly confident" - a phrase I used to use a lot to my mates before games in the late 80's and early/mid 90's.
If Wigan perform to their ability/potential and they get a fair crack of the whip from the officials, they will win.
TBH, if Peacock and Mcguire were playing, I would be much less confident.

Hello and welcome.
I agree with your post, however i go from super confident to not at all confident during a 1 hour cycle.

You're not wrong there!
I think we're all hoping today would just hurry up and be over. |

Its been a long week, a long build up, made more exciting by the tripe in the press from over the pennines.
It should be a great game.
COME ON WIGAN!

A Dirty Harry picture - if only you had intended the irony!
If we get a fair crack of it from the officials and play anywhere near like we can; then that should be enough to get us to the GF. We need to stick to our game plan regardless of whether we're ten points up or ten points down, not give away silly penalties and not let ourselves get sucked into a grudge fest.

You certainly should be expecting to win this time. If you cannot win this time with the under strength team Leeds will have out then when will you win ones of these?
I don't think you've ever had a better chance of winning one of these since the last time you made the GF.
Had it been at Wigan I could see you winning by 24 at least. As it is,going away should be no hardship given your away record this season and your record in general at Headingley.
This game will either be tight (Leeds only have a shout due to home advantage and play off experience in these final eliminators) or you will win comfortably
