I think it is a big bonus for us. Ethan has got a great engine. Obviously, you have to feel sorry for Harvie and Junior but it is a team game and it is one we have to win.

Fingers crossed Havard can do the same as he did in the Cup QF and have a blinder in his comeback. Definitely feels reassuring to have a frontrower other than an inexperienced youngster and the not so durable Patrick Mago on the bench.

Agree. We have got to trust Peet and his support team on this.

Apparently Harvie Hill has been training down Cumbria with the team for Kyle Amor’s testimonial.

Anyone buy their tickets online from the club on Sunday but haven’t received them yet?

I’m getting nervous

A fair few tickets just appeared for the South Stand on the RFL site, probably returned hospitality tickets, disappointing but anything between 50/55k is a decent turnout

Got ours yesterday mate. You need to give them a prod.

Quote Zig="Zig"Wigan Today has had first dibs on team for Saturday. https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... ii-4370437'" You’d be surprised if that wasn’t the team. You do see the odd shock call in a final, like us starting Micky Mac over Piggy Riddell in 2010 but I think the only change from last week will be Havard for Hill. I’m surprisingly calm for the game so far. I think the pressure doesn’t feel as great because it isn’t Saints and as a fan of the game as a whole and not just Wigan, I can see positives if Catalans win. Don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely desperate to win and will be gutted if we lose but I feel like I’ll enjoy this final a bit more than usual.

Nicely said, Nicky, I agree.


Looking forward to a cracking contest.

Unfortuately I can see nothing other than a comfortable Wigan win by 10+ probably. Even the weather is staying dry. As I said on a different thread I've had a decent wedge on Wigan to win so I may as well make money out of my misery and it will at least pay for my food and ale (thankfully the freebie exec seat means I won't be paying to watch them lift it)



Usually the best team wins it and to be fair I can't complain too much. Wigan peaked at the right time of the season, sorted out their pack and have ridiculous strike across the pitch. The amount of tries scored highlights how good their attack has been.

Of course if Catalan win I will be delighted and it will be worth the money lost. The only slight downside would be seeing Tomkins lift the trophy. In a lot of ways I want his final game ruined as what happened with Roby.

Just rang the office, they were helpful and have put me on the duplicate list and I can pick at old Trafford.

If they come today, I’ll ring up and get taken off the list and use them.

Just in case anyone is in the same situation.
