| To be classed "Champions" is fantastic, I've seen us manage it well over a dozen times.
To be classed "World Champions" is unbelievable, it's been great to have that feeling three times, a fourth on Sunday would be orgasmic.

| interesting to see one of my posts deleted that asked a fair and frank question!
I will state again,even other wigan posters have stated that this, whilst a great win in a great show piece would not make you the best team in the world. Any super league team would do well to finish mid table after a whole season in the NRL.
if this is your biggest game in such a long time, bigger than last years GF, what would you rather win this or this years GF?
i know which St George would pick, and what i would pick IF Warrington were ever fortunate enough to be in your position.
I do hope you win though, this aint a dig.

I'm not choosing. I want both.

But if you have to it would be no contest, the same as it wouldnt be for any Aussie side.
This is a fantastic show piece exhibition played at an intense level, but we take it far more serious than the aussies.
I know if someone offered me GF or WCC i wouldn't have a tough choice on my hands.
I really dont want this to sound belittling by the way, you were the best by a mile last year and you deserve this game but it isn't the defining moment of a club.

The Grand Final was the biggest game we've had in years. This is just a little bonus. It'd be nice to win, but I wouldn't exactly cry my heart out if we didn't.

Agreed, iv had many an arguement with Wigan fans in that I think personally this means a lot more to the town of Wigan than the grand final, we are on our pitch, in front of our fans, playing to be the greatest team in the world, it will be an unbelievable feeling if we win it.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| If we let St George kick they will kick us to death and keep us in our own half for most of the game, we need to have the markers putting major pressure on the kickers plus we need our kicking game to be spot on, I want Deacon, McIllorum or Tomkins kicking because I can see it now, every one of Leuluais kicks going 30 yards down Boyds neck.

| Its going to be very tight. Sam will be key for us imo, if he plays like he can i think we will take it. I just hope we arent overly pumped up and do anything stupid early on as we cant afford to get behind early and be chasing the game.

| After watching quiet a few nrl games with the dragons in last year they can be beat. They have threats all over the park but they do the basics very well there forwards make the yards for the backs to do the damage if fielden and coley can both play well we do stand a realistic chance of winning we have alot of experience in big games in our squad which im sure madge will have tapped into. I just hope the nerves dont get to us in the first 20 and we settle in well there most dangerous player is brett morris the guy is awesome near the try line.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

I agree with that, I'd have been devastated if we'd lost the GF. Still excited for Sunday though

Deacon.
His kicking will be absolutely critical tomorrow.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!
