they were awful on friday, even with him.

Widnes must think if they beat us they have a bye...worst possible draw for us imo.

Obviously we are favourites for tomorrow and if we get through we will be massively favourites for the semi final against London. That isn't really a good thing. There is massive pressure from our fans because we do expect Wigan to beat Widnes and London. Widnes and London can just play freely with no pressure because everyone expects them to lose. Widnes will come out all guns blazing tomorrow and they will throw everything at us. I have no doubt its going to be a tough game. Our place in the final is ours to lose.

What day will the open top bus parade be?

How's it going to backfire? "Oh no we've got a hotel booked in West London in the middle of summer, what a terrible situation!" It's not like me thinking we'll almost certainly make the final will make the team complacent, Wane has yet to give me the call up to the first team (The major reason we didn't win the treble last year if you ask me)

Why, Are you thinking of coming over to Warrington

Can you book that train that the Wigan club booked last year before Leeds did you in the Semi?
That way you may end up gutted again!

Wasn't Garrincha the Little Bird?

Yes, he was also the greatest footballer that ever lived according to Pele, liked a beer, had a massive schlong and was a womaniser........he also liked all things primrose and blue and would have been very welcome at the HJ

I remember Garrincha the great Brazilean winger as well Charlie, he was knock kneed in one leg and bow legged in the other.
If he had ever played Rugby League he would have either had the best side step ever seen on a Rugby pitch or he would have run about in ever decreasing circles.

and London play leeds the Thursday after the semi finals, if London play on the sunday they only have a three day turn around! I think the rfl and the bbc will take this into consideration and see there game on the saturday

I suspect they'd rather have the extra day's preparation for the Cup game, as the Cup is now their #1 priority.

If i was a wigan fan, i'd have my hotel, train tickets, match tickets and beer money already ready. Widnes will be a walk over and London are pathetic. Hopefully we beat Hull but it'll be tough. It's the people's final, hopefully we do our bit and meet you there, if we do, that stadium will be rocking.
