| I've got goosebumps just reading this thread.
Taking into account our recent games St Helens and each teams form, I'm going into the game unusually confident.
I can't wait!  |

Our scouse friends will be nervous.... we will be the underdogs but they are no longer the mighty Saints of 3 years ago... they know we are already benefitting from a golden era of young players (with more to come if the reserves' form this season is anything to go by) and will be desperate to win as this could be the last hurrah for their ageing side... it will be a classic derby fixture... yes, I am excited!

One thing is for sure... if you win the GF you will deserve it!!!
To brush Hull KR to one side was no mean feat. If you now go on to beat Saints in the semi then Leeds (or Catalan) in the final then your win will be fully deserved...

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.

Nervous? abit but unlike most games i have a genuine belief we will win(although that could be the fact i'm thinking 'just my luck' as I'd miss the final due to being on holiday). We're in good form with room for improvment which really fills me with hope. If we can turn up and play well for 80 minutes then I can't see us losing.
On a side note Paul Wellens(Wilkin and Graham) was sat infront of me at the u21 grand final yesterday and was talking to some Saints fans at the side of him. He said with a puff of his cheeks he hopes Saints will be good enough to beat us after being impressed with our preformence at HKR. He didn't look like a guy full of confidence and unlike the cock sured Saints of the past few years there seems to be some doubts in their minds.
Bring it on.

There is a place in wigan, right next to Robin Park, where legends such as Farrell, and Radlinski made their mark. the boardroom's full of trophy's, its time we won some more, All the other teams know what we mean when they hear the Wigan roar.....:44841.jpg |

Can't remember the last time we went into a Saints match and I felt so good about it. I think they'll be more nervous than us!
[sizeCOME ON WIGAN!!!!!!!!
I am excited this week and nervous because I feel we have a better chance of getting to the final if we pull out a top performance like we all know we can when it counts. 4 more teaching days to go .... |

Paul Wellens has never been cocksure. You're picking out the wrong Saints player for that label! He is humility personified is Wello. Now, if you had been listening to Wilkins' comments or Long's or a few others then fair enough. But not Wello. |

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 |

No because I don't think we will win. I've fully expected us to get to this stage all season before losing.
HOWEVER - as the week goes on my heart will start to take over and i'll be shaking like a ting dog come 5.30pm.
Anyone who isn't in the mood yet - picture yourself crammed behind the posts whilst you listen to rlthisrl or rlthisrl
