Quote NSW="NSW"Just listened to the first half reviewing the old GFs.
2010 and 2013 stick out for me.
2010 was the first time I’d seen us win a trophy, after years of semi finals defeats it felt like our time. Got emotional going into the ground and seeing the flags all over the Wigan end, also when Madge and Lockers came on the big screen stood in the tunnel, the roar from the Wigan end - goosebumps.
2013, lived in Warrington my whole life and losing to them wasn’t an option. Said to my dad after Westwood scored “bloody hell, it is their year”. What a feeling that comeback was. In Sam and Pat Richards last game.
Also glad someone else other than me remembers how good FPN was in 2016, absolutely critical to us winning that GF (as Dupree might be tomorrow)'"
Hi pal
Hope you enjoyed it?
I mentioned on the show that going the day before the Conroy and erecting the flags, meetingnthe united stadium manager and staff was a wonderful experience
Sharing the pics on here when we got back after telling everyone for a week we couldn't do it was amazing.
Getting the call from Simon Collinson about 4ish saying the players were over the moon with flags and the effort was unbelievable
I worked in Warrington from 99 to 2017 and winning that one was also special, arguing with certain wigan fans (you know who you are) that were telling me Wires pack was too good for us etc
Quote NSW="NickyKiss"Watched the 2013 GF back last night and I forgot how dominant we actually were early in the game. We were all over them for 15/20 mins and bombed a few chances on that right hand side. The 3 try blitz by Wire were probably the only 10 mins in the game when Wigan weren’t the team pushing and dominating territory.'"
That's my recollection too
The 10/15 min blitz was a Blip in a game i thought we were the best team in comfortably
Was a good evening sitting together with my son and his mates who make the podcast and a few other lifelong Wigan fans reminiscing
Amazing feeling old when 3 of us had to give our 98 memories because 4 of them weren't even born!!!
98! Feels more like 10 years ago than 25
) and each year we had a player put in a talismanic performance. 2013 was obviously Green, 2016 was Sarginson playing out of his skin just weeks after his brother sadly passed and 2018 was Tomkins and Manfredi. Some players just come to life for one night only but usually there’s a story around them and tomorrow I wouldn’t put it past KPP to play a blinder. He’s been sensational for 2/3 months now.
