| Quote: Billinge_Lump "For a supposed big and famous club, Wire fans don't half have a small club mentality. Jeez, the biting on this thread lol.
Robinson is right, this is a harder sell to the general public than a final with Saints, Wigan or Leeds in it. Face facts, not matter how competitive you are [inow[/i, neither Huddersfield nor Warrington have won trophies for a long time. Trophy winners get publicity, clubs that have rarely competed in a final for 20+ years don't.
The fact that it should be a close fought game matters little outside the RL fraternity, because people outside that fraternity won't know that.'" more of a reason for it to capacity not a trophy winning a trophy will in fact attract more fans from the said towns as it's a once in a blue moon occasion where familiarality breeds contempt and the attitude "well i'll go next year when we get there" |

| Quote: ROBINSON "OK, so the final is the new Hollywood Blockbuster, and instead of having Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the starring roles, we now have two actors from Coronation Street.
Certain Corrie actors are very good, but they don't exactly have Brangelina's profile, do they?
So, the question is this. Knowing that, even though they have the two most deserving teams, the final isn't exactly going to be glamorous, or an easy sell. How much harder are the RFL going to have to work to sell this final to the general public, ie NON-RL fans, or are they better off not bothering, and hoping they get two teams next year who are more famous and already in the public conscious?
Discuss.'"
Awwwwww diddums 
Do you reckon if Wigan had of got through the game would have been any better? Especially if Saints had won - they tonk you every time
Don't worry Pie fans - we'll wave at you from Wembley

The best team on the day won the semi final and Wire deserve their place in the final.
However your point about Saints no longer applies. Yes we lost twice and beat them only once this year but we lost by 7 and 4 points and won by 20 so are ahead on aggregate score despite losing twice. That record suggests that if either team in a Wigan v Saints final got a hammering it would have been Saints not us.

what a load of rubish, if wigan had got to the final, i think the semi said a lot, wire outnumbered wigan by a huge ammount and to be honest i think we'll take more to wembley than you would have!
your not famous any more! |
