| As said, we never looked like losing. Great effort from the pack. and Marshy had to be close to MotM for a great effort. We have a side to be proud of.

| You just did a total job on Wire and never let them get going….i know French,Smith and Field get all the plaudits week in week out but Thompson has been your best signing and is your player of the year so far imo,he has been immense and plays big minutes,I was a bit wary of the signing with his injury and concussion issues down under then missed the WCC due to a his but my god,some then he has just got better and better.

| After watching it back it really is tough to pick someone out but an honourable mention to Ellis who never took a backward step and it's a pity Mago didn't get more minutes he was causing havoc with the ball in hand, can only assume after the Faz try MP decided to defend it out which is more than fair enough

| It was a classic finals performance. Totally dominant. The defence won us that (and won it comfortably) and on the back of that it only took a couple of flashes of brilliance in attack to put them to the sword. Ellis was immense and Field has become the best creative fullback since Tomkins. His pass for Faz's try was sublime and isn't getting the attention it deserves although that's probably because of Faz's great line and finish.
Professional to a man yesterday. Wire will play better, no doubt, but credit needs to be given in part to Wigan's defence. They were frustrated and mistakes always come on the back of frustration.
Holders of all 4 trophies now and who would bet against them winning all four in a season? 2 down 2 to go. Some team this!

| Field might not have been blasting through defences this season but he’s really worked on the creative side of his game and is becoming a really well rounded fullback. I thought he was outstanding yesterday.

| Much has been made of Warrington being a young side but 12 of the Wigan players were younger than their Wire counterpart. It's frightening to think what this group could achieve.

| I love this trend of “Wigan comfortably win a final therefore it’s the worst/dullest final ever” from saints fans.
To a man outstanding today.
Get teams in a grind
French/field magic to unlock defences to get a lead
Use Smiths kicking game to keep the lead.
Simply plan but so effective. Our defence was a brick wall.
Was very satisfying after hearing all week how good Dufty, Ashton, Walker, Fitzgibbon and Vaughan are. Their counterparts of Field, Marshall, O’Neill, Farrell and Thompson showed they are levels ahead.
The George Williams saga gets funnier and funnier. He’s latest story of “Wigan offered more than Warrington” was great. Wigan lad, boyhood wigan fan, wigan players for about 10 years suddenly decided he wants to write history with Warrington, deffo not about the money George. Keep your cringe social media posts up and we’ll keep lifting trophies. He was dire today for such a marquee player.
Kaide Ellis is an unsung hero.
Marshall and Miski superb.
Eckersleys tackle to force an error on Fitzgibbon was a brilliant moment.
Love the whole vibe of the club, even down to a young lad like Junior, was “it’s great to win, we’ll enjoy but jobs not done”. They want all 4 this year and to be dominate.
These are the days guys. It’s our time currently so let’s enjoy this team whilst we’ve got it.

| Funny how things work out, we lose in just a couple of seasons Ruston Bateman Nicholson K P-P and and it's bloody hell what's going on and up steps Junior, he might never have got a chance without the aforementioned leaving.

| Harry smiths game management was first class and he nailed all the conversions.
Forwards controlled this game backs put it to bed.
Great try from Faz and Bevan but the young Zac thrown into the deep end and to score a try fantastic,well done Zac.
I am so happy to be a Wigan fan.
Thanks Matt,Rads,lockers and Tommy you have and are doing this club and Town proud,may it continue.

To save on cleaning bills for the cabinet they could share one between them and St Helens and take turns in cleaning all the silverware together (the key's,lock,hinges etc).

| Replying to Jason65 about Harry Smith (it won’t let me quote). He was outstanding again in a big game and there was a case for him getting the Lance Todd for me, just as there was in 2022 and for the HS in the GF last year. He hasn’t won one yet, which is a shame but he’s been so important to all of those wins and has kicked his opposite number off the park. He is rapidly turning in to our own Kevin Sinfield in how he manages these big games for us.

Surely you’re not deluded enough to think that was an entertaining game for anybody other than Wigan fans? I don’t expect you to care about that and nor should you (I couldn’t care less when saints win and it’s boring) but to try and deny it was a boring game is a bit odd. The last 2 finals have been horrendous watches, and I went to the GF in person and usually enjoy live sport whatever happens due to the atmosphere etc. but it was awful. I really think the RFL need to do something to sort out how bad of a spectacle our game is becoming (and yes, funnily enough the 2 most boring teams are the most successful and that probably dates back for the majority of the last 10 years). That’s a conversation for another thread though!
Congratulations, was a hell of a defensive performance from you guys and Wire never looked in the game. I didn’t think you were great with ball in hand but you didn’t need to be, as Wire were giving you plenty of chances to attack by gifting great field position and ball time and time again. That said, you never really needed to score more than 2 tries as that defence was never going to be broken and if the score was closer, I honestly doubt Wire even get the try they got.
Going to take some effort to stop you taking the lot this year. Cant see you not finishing top with the amount of home games you’ve got left and if anyone is to get the better of you in the play offs they’re going to have to bring their A game and other than probably us, that’s likely not going to even be enough from the other teams. Hopefully we’ll get the Wigan v Saints final we’ve wanted since the covid one! At least that will look like a big deal on the telly

I did think Harry should have got MOM,he does his fair share of tackles,the spiralls (knock on result) are so hard to produce,kicks for goals 100%,his control of the game and players was fantastic.So yes I think he should of been MOM.
