I was very surprised by the seeming lack of energy of some of the Wigan forwards against Leeds, particularly Lima, MM and Hansen, and to a less extent Tuson and Mossop. Hansen had made his comeback the previous week so he should not have been "done in" as FT writes. The others had all had "rests" of some sort the previous month, so were they simply not back to full fitness or had they been flogged too hard in training? A week or couple of weeks out was supposed to be keeping them fresh...

It won't be a Wigan End, unreserved seating, usually plenty sit along the side as well, pay on the day, always a good day, get there early and try the bar under the stand, open after the game as well. |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Can't wait for it.
After the match (or even before) down Twickenham High street, visiting:
The Cabbage patch pub - home of the Eel pie club.
The Misty Moon - ex weatherspoons
The William Webb Ellis - weatherspoons
The Rugby Inn.
All just over a mile from the ground. I hope some Broncos fan can come on here and tell us how to get to the ground from there.

Pretty easy m8.
From the Town Centre, head down the main street (the train station on your right). Over the bridge, walk for about 600 yards. You will probably be directed from there tbh, but if not keep going as "straight" as you can. Eventually you will come to a big dual carriageway. The ground is on the "town side" of this.
If you end up opposite Twickenham Stadium, don't worry, just turn left up the main dual carriageway, and it's about half a mile on the left.

| Quote: Bill Sonny "If Charnley is fit, then Thornley has to come in for Gelling. I think Gelling has been given enough time on the wing, it's clearly not for him'"
I agree. Gelling has shown absolutely no improvement on the wing since he first came into the team and is still a liability defensively. |

Club announced on website that there will be a selection of bands in the bar afterwards & it will stay open till 9pm.
Got to pay for Tony's appointment somehow.
Also under 20's game after the main match.

Just checked the Official Broncos Website again & for the kids there is facepainting, bouncy castle, mascot races & dancing performances. Also kids get in free with a paying adult but you have to phone the club first to book them so I suggest you visit the website.
I'd cut & paste the link but I'm computer illiterate.
Enjoy your day out, it even looks like we've arranged good weather for Saturday & hopefully we'll at least give you some sort of competition on the pitch now that Powell has gone.

I love this fixture! It is the by far the easiest game for me to get to - I just hop on the train at Swindon and ride through to Twickenham, the bar is by far the best in the league (it actually sells cask beer), its normally sunny (NEVER GO THERE WITHOUT SUN GLASSES!), I get home at a decent hour AND Wigan usually win.
Prior to the semi final last weekend I can't remember the last game I actually attended* so I am really excited without the feeling of dread that made me almost unbearable to live with last Friday night.
Hurrah!
It was Hull KR on the 4th May

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]
