Wigan win by never ever accepting defeat , this comes from SW .

All this nonsense about his limitations as a coach is embarrassing .

Rugby League is a very simple game to coach , instilling desire , the ability to run through brick walls , play through the pain barrier etc.. however takes special management qualities , Wane has these in abundance .

Well done Wigan and SW , deserving champions

Agreed, not only did Manfredi get those 2 try's he also put in that huge try saving tackle on Lineham and defused a couple of dangerous cross field kicks as well as some great line clearing runs. Ratchford was good for Wire but i dont think he deserved MOM.

We won because we know how to win

Did it the hard way against a side that didn't choke



We want it back, mind...

How did you win that?

Well you were playing Warrington and a HB combination of Brown and Roberts.

Courageous and disciplined defence, thats how. We gave them far too many chances but what a defensive machine this team has been over the last couple of months.

We won because we don’t celebrate knock ons when we’re losing like we’ve just won the final. We actually know how to go on and win finals.

Some say Hill and co are still there now on the pitch high fiving each other.

Hill is a bit stigish

Defence wins matches. Was it John Monie who said that? I can't remember but I don't care

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
