I still feel - even against a side like Warrington - that it will about Wigan rather than the opposition.
At present, when Wigan hit their straps, there are few that can even come close let alone beat them. Warrington may have the best chance, but I think it will be more important what state Wigan are in after Wembley than Warrington, who - even with injuries - will have had to sit fuming on the sidelines during the Cup Final celebrations, dreaming of having their revenge.
If Wigan have won, they could be emotionally exhausted the following week. Alternatively, if they've lost they could be totally deflated.
It's impossible to call that match, but it will definitely be one that I expect Warrington to be up and raring for, even if they have a few missing, whereas Wigan could not possibly be in the normal frame of mind.

Another factor is the Wolfs might be 3 points behind us by then.  |

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

It seems arrogant, but you are right.
I think if all teams played to their top potential nobody could match us. We are unplayable when on form. Our defence is just is ruthless and we can score tries when we need to.
I don't think any team in super league could have matched St George like we did. |

If Catalans can get a result this weekend, which wouldn't be a surprise being played over there, the Wire Wigan game won't be half as important. All be it providing we beat Bradford we could win the shield at the Halliwell Jones, it wouldn't be too much a problem if we lose with Crusaders week after.

If we do secure the League Leaders shield at the HJ, I hope it gets presented the week after at the Crusaders game. Gives more fans an excuse to go and we could see a 20,000+ crowd.
Atmosphere will be flat as a fart though with no away fans.

It will be. They'd only present it there if it was the last game of the season. |
