[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

| Just realised that it could turn out to be Graham's last ever match in a Saints shirt on Saturday.
What finer way to send him off than to beat Saints convincingly and see him have one of his famous dummy spits before he leaves to get smashed week in, week out in the NRL.  |

In all seriousness, he's a character and the league is a bit short on them IMO, will be sad to see him go.

Im not sad obviously but really interested to see how he will go at Canterbury, he does that the talent to become a real hit over in the NRL, but i hope his constant 80 minute spells over here wont catch up with him. Hopefully he will do England proud. |

The thing with Graham is that, as a supporter, you'll love him because of his approach to the game and commitment to your team. The Bulldogs fans will take to him and he'll go OK I reckon. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Just realised this could be Maguire's last match in charge of Wigan and also could be Hoffmans last game in a Wigan shirt. A good incentive for Saints to win.

Wigan need to target him the same way we did in the CC semi. Even though I'm not sure he was 100% fit he was like road kill, to such an extent he didn't fancy taking the ball up at the end. I've never seen Graham like that before.

I don't think he was 70% fit, never mind 100%.
Quote: Wigan28/Leeds18 Andy "He is phenomenal. Towards the end of the game he caught the ball and literally fell on the floor.
I can imagine there were thousands of people thinking ‘what is he doing’? Well the other 16 blokes in our team knew exactly what he was doing “There was a stage early on in the week when the poor lad could barely walk and I thought there was no chance he could play in the game.
It says much about him as a character and a person that he put the team before his own personal health.
He made a sacrifice for us today and he's not the only guy'"
He'll get targeted though, no question. |

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

I've always liked Graham. Yes he spits his dummy out from time to time, but that's only because the game means so much to him. Fabulous player for club and country, who I'm sure we'll go well over in the NRL.
Just a shame he's off to the Bulldog's, not a big fan of their's.

Agreed. I would rather he stayed in Super League, but I can't blame the bloke for leaving. An absolute machine. I hope he smashes the Aussies into next week. All the best to him. |
