How did we win that?

Quote: 100% Warrior "Personally I don’t think it was a spectacle. Both teams chose the biggest night of the year to be offensively off but defensively I thought both teams were immense with ours being the better all round.

I think that performance typifies Shaun Wane. Tough, gritty, not a pretty picture but it’s enough to do the job.

Roll on the Adrian Lam and Shaun Edwards era’s. Let’s hope and pray we stick on this path. We talk about the “Glory Days” of Wigan Rugby League. The unbeaten Challenge Cup era and trophies being won year on year, but I genuinely believe the past few years and the years to come could well surpass that era for us. That’s not saying we’ll conquer all and dominate for years, it’s impossible these days. What it is saying is that we have been and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. Winning trophies more or less every other year. It’s an era I think we’ll come to remember fondly in 20/30yrs time.

All that and I haven’t even had a drink
It wasn't a spectacle but for both sets of fans a gripping game. Next year Wire probably have the player they needed tonight, Blake Austin. With our departees all else being equal I think play the same game next year and the result might be different. We lose Bateman and Sam T which are significant losses (Sutton we can cover) so unless there are new signings Lam has a job on. Not convinced re Hardaker though hope I am wrong. That said if there is a coach that will keep the best of the Wane era such as the ethos and never say die attitude and improve it, then I think it is Edwards. I just hope that in the meantime Lam is not on a hiding to nothing.
