You do get a reward, the LLS. I would say that anybody who is happy to win that and not then win the GF is lacking ambition, but finishing top is a major achievement and shows that that team have delivered the best resukts over the 27 regular rounds.

Nobody is arguing that they should be champions.

I would have thought it was bleeding obvious Wigan played badly, you only need to look at the amount of unforced errors.

2 wire tries were gifts that puts the score at 27 -12

Tomkins fluffs 2 try scoring opportunities otherwise 27-24 with conversions

Still think it was going to be a wire win but wigan were as bad as wire were good

This. It took us 9 pages but we finally go there.

Exactly!

The problem is though mate, this approach can be taken to every game of RL ever. Most tries are on the back of the odd mistake, whether it is something minor like a penalty getting the attack on your line, or something shocking like Hansen's error to Monaghan.

If we are going to take Yed's approach of removing some of our tries due to luck, and adding your half chances, surely we need to add our half chances in too?

The simple fact is, the best team won on the day, just like they did at the DW earlier in the season, and just like the cup game at our place.

Discussions about hangovers, luck, outclassed are, tbh irrellevant, only the result counts. I understand why people do this, as often it is in defense of criticism of their team's performance, but I find it pretty worthless, and would rather we look forward to tomorrow night when 1st place is up for grabs.

Hopefully, we'll meet again at Old Trafford (and I hope it won't be my turn to offer excuses!!!!

)

Outclassed ? Outplayed definately, someone else said it, straight from the 1st kick off we did not look like we were " on the ball " " at the races " you know what I mean.
Physically looked tired for me.
Whoever we play next week at home will be real tough, I now think to do the double is a real big ask, we will see.

My thoughts exactly.

To be honest if both teams are at full tilt with best personnel its a drop goal/conversion game imo not much would seperate us. The ones this season have all been too one sided to read into imo. It wont be that one sided either way if we meet in playoffs/GF imo. The best spectacle for the sport would be Wigan-Wire final.

agreed..fingers crossed it happens...the best two teams going at it at a full Old Trafford would be great for the game IMO.

Yep, none of the three have lived up to being classic battles, despite some stunning RL in all three games.

No doubt the losing fans in all three simply put the loss down to their team being poor, but the reality is that both Wigan and Wire are pretty ruthless, and unless you are on it for 80, then a lot of points can be scored against you.

Hopefully we'll meet again in the Grand Final and we'll get a classic.

I am actually hoping Warrington get knocked out somehow & I avoid a heart attack!
