To a point, they have a point....

Indeed, RL is in the doldrums, and, i would agree its not as free flowing and entertaining as many would like.. That said, despite financial constraints, IL and co, including Wane, have managed to make Wigan a team that is workmanlike and not just a flash in the pan. Wane deserves great credit for what he has done, and his record will take some matching whosoever was to follow.

Always remember, it's not the 1980's anymore, and never will be, ask my knees

In the games between Wigan & Saints this season which club scored the most tries? I ask the question because I suspect it may well not be the "entertainers" who have been scoring tries for fun.

Great display from Wigan on friday night, thought Navarrete & Gildart were stand out players. One player not that good on the night was O'loughlin, I thought he had his worst game of the season.

I’d probably go further then that and say he had one of the worst games I’ve ever seen him have. He looked half asleep as though his mind was elsewhere at points which made me wonder if he’s fully fit.

Hopefully if he’s not quite right, he’ll have enough time to improve before Saturday.

Carrying a knock possibly and very conscious this ‘might’ be his last GF.

if fit next week I imagine he will need carrying off at full time due to a huge capitano knock.

Well I've seen his entire career and yet to see him have consecutive bad games so I reckon you might be right!

2006, 2008

It was anything but a masterclass IMO. Our defence was very good with some wonderful last ditch tackles and scrambling but with ball in hand we were very poor. Only 2 individual efforts got us over the line and Tommys try was down to poor Cas defence as much as determination from Tommy, they should of stopped him if we're honest. O'loughlin saved his worst performance in years for the most important game so far this year but hopefully he will be back to his old self next weekend and Sutton was just as bad. As much as im glad we won, we got most of the 50/50 calls and Cas let us off the hook time and time again with unforced errors. If anybody thinks that kind of performance will do next week they are mistaken. Warrington will be determined not to lose another Grand Final and we will have to have all 17 players have the game of their life. I would also start with Farrell and allow him to do the early heavy work and bring Greenwood on fresh when O'Loughlin goes off and the game opens up slightly. I would also be tempted to have Hamlin or Tautai on the bench instead of Escare so that we have plenty of forward power.

I'm certainly no Wigan fan that's for certain

But that semi final performance was outstanding and your defensive effort for 80 minutes was exceptional

A repeat of that performance in the GF will see you win without a doubt IMO

I'd love to wish you luck but I can't

Enjoy the day guys

It was a guess

If Wigan defend like we did on Friday, we’ll win. We’ve not had more than 2 tries scored against us for ages and we’re more than capable of scoring more than 2. It’s not often I’m confident of beating Warrington but this time, I am. It’ll be a perfect end to the Wane era.

The defence on Friday was excellent and to be fair Warrington's defence on Thursday was pretty decent too.
For me if both teams defend in a similar manner then the outcome could depend on goal kicks, penalties, mistakes or just rub of the green which would give Wire more than an chance of winning.
Our attack in the last few weeks has lost its fluidity since the Saints game when we looked on top of our game in defence and attack. Personally I feel we need a similar performance to the Saints game to give us that edge over a Wire team who will want the win as much as we do.
Minibus and tickets sorted within an hour so of the final whistle on Friday and Im looking forward to a beltin day out and hopefully a victory.
