23 - 20 - 4 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



Quote: Pacific "It seems to me as if we are being written off by the mainstream media as well as the Rugby League press. Who is with me on this?

Just like last year we've been seeded as the away team at the game, thankfully though the small consolation is that this time we wont have to suffer the ignominy of having to wear our away kit.

We are shown second on all the promotional posters of the match and all the displays around Old Trafford. The RFL social media team are tweeting us as the second 'away team' as well. The tickets folder even has Leeds listed first. The Match Programme has us listed as the away team as well. Pictures of Gelling and Clubb are being shown on all our promotional images yet Clubb will start on the bench and Gelling wont even be in the squad whereas Leeds have Cuthbertson, a Man of Steel nominee, and Danny McGuire, a match winner, on all the RFL promotional posters. All of this promotion is commissioned by the RFL so why have they treated Wigan so shoddily?

Anyway, bought League Express the morning and on the editorial page all the talk is of a glowing review of Kevin 'Dont mention I headbutted Luke Dorn' Sinfield without even a mention of any Wigan players. Turned to Garry Schofields column where he lines up our players against their players and implies we have no chance of beating them.

This seems to be a recurring theme in even the national papers where the whole story running up to this is about Peacock and Sinfield retiring and no mention of Wigan.

The Total RL website has repeatedly pressed and promoted stories all day of us not selling all our tickets yet we've actually sold MORE than Leeds. We have a couple of thousand more tickets to sell with Leeds having one corner in their end closed for the TRY scoreboard and also centre of Stretford End where they are is premium seating now so they wont sell all that out either.

I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing though. Wane gets players to thrive as underdogs, just like he did in other finals and when we beat Leeds at Magic Weekend earlier this year. Hopefully we make the most of being underdogs and overcome the huge obstacles in our way to win what will surely be one of the most memorable game's in our club's recent history!'"


Got to be on a wind up mission!

Contact Leeds, there's a waiting list don't you know.

No point trying to flog it round these parts because we've only sold 27 tickets according to Sir Kevin Sinfield (not the real one as far as I'm aware but could be wrong).

I honestly can't work out if you're from Hull/Salford/Widnes etc on a wind up trip, or an 8 year old from Wigan?

There's bound to be a lot of interest in Sinfield and Peacock playing their final games. If anything though you'd have to say Leeds' injury list should make Wigan favourites - Aiton, Ward, JJB, Sutcliffe would all be in the 17 if fit. But that's part of sport - if Wigan win nobody will remember Leeds' injury list.

On the Leeds board they're on about having only 16 players fit, possibly even 15. Is that true?

And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



I'm looking forward to a great battle between this seasons best 2 teams. Nothing in it for me, wouldn't dare call it either way. All the media garbage is just a way of selling the final with a (fairy tale) slant. Seen it before in previous finals with the likes of Jimmy Lowes and KC.
Remember Pie fans, every recent GF we have played in against either Stains or Wire the media have had us down as clear under dogs. You know what the outcome was so their opinions mean diddly squat, don't let it wind you up and enjoy a great battle on Saturday.

Quote: stpatricks "Anyone who listens to Schofield needs urgent treatment. This season we have had "saints to go through the season undefeated" Ryan Atkins "to play centre for England" he always likes a pop at Wigan
As for Rhinos as favourites they deserve to be on their seasons form. I think Wigan will win the players seem fresh and up to the job.'"


You're right he did say the chumps would go unbeaten all season, you'd think the man had never played at the top level with statements like that. The guy is a Dick, and his thoughts on the turn out of Saturdays game is no better than mine, or yours. IMO the side with the most puff in the tank after 60 minutes, and the lions share of luck will take the spoils. Whoever is considered as home, or away team, and what pictures are used, won't matter one bit in the end. The only prediction I will make is that if we win almost everyone who isn't a Wigan supporter will say we robbed it by cheating, thuggery, bending and breaking the rules, and basically getting away with blue murder. We are the team they all love to hate, so be it. Whatever happens on Saturday won't change that.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

They should have given more of their academy players a game then shouldn't they instead of "investing" in all their overseas players!!

No not only 16 players fit. A case of if Lilley is picked he won't get on, likewise if Delaney is missing and Walters is on the bench he'll hardly be used.

Hopefully will be a great encounter too close to call with any confidence like you say media favourites accounts for jack all on the day.

Wigan had no chance against Wire according to all the pundits and won, last year we were favourites and lost (due to stupidity in the main) hopefully we are all talking about the game and not the referee or a player brain fart come Saturday night.

He is a regular on the excellent Back Chat on Premier Sports and you can see why. He is opinionated to a ridiculous degree, but because he was a great player (and he was no question) he is indulged.

I'm not sure if he thinks before he speaks but in addition to the above he in all seriousness argued for Paul Rowley to be the next England coach. d040.gif

Most bookmakers have the game at evens, some have Wigan slight favourites. Given the injury situation think this is about right. For some reason I don't think it'll be a tight game...either Leeds by 20+ or Wigan by the same. Just can't work out which.
