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.

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!!!!!!!!![/size

I felt great at work today when I spotted another member of staff walking in wearing full Wigan home kit! I knew he was a Wigan fan but seeing that bouncing down the corridor with the kids was just fantastic. Wigan RL is alive and well in the heart of MK

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.

I think I will start getting nervous once i have picked up my tickets on the morrow

You must have been sat near me then, they were 2/3 rows in front 2 seats to the right of me.

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

Not nervous at all, we've nothing to lose, we finished 6th, Saints finished 2nd, they are the ones who should be getting to GF's, we're the average side, but anything can happen on the day if the ball bounces for us.

They moved from where i was sat at Half time(don't think i offended them...lol) so depends really which half.

I was sat on the row at the back of them to their left behind the Saints fans they were chatting to. They seemed good lads to be fair and it was just a shame that Wellens had to sit at the back of a group of young lads swearing their heads off as he had his little un with him(he should have to wait at least 18 years before he hears that abuse from Wiganers).

I meant more in general then Wellens being cocky tbh.

He's an honest lad who gives his all for his hometown team and I think the vast majority of Wigan fans and rugby league fans in general really respect him.

As i've said in my previous post he seemed a really nice bloke and looked to really enjoy chatting with the Saints fans sat near him. I thought that was nice because some players wouldn't give fans the time of day.

He'd be Saints version of Radlinski if only he could play like him

anyone who is a fan of any of the 4 teams,if they are not nervous now they should be.

If we all adopted this attitude we'd all be bouncing and singing for the 80mins instead of nail biting and nervousness... but, as it goes we probably will be anyway..

Getting the butterflies atm. I'm sure come Saturday a little bit of wee will be coming out

Dave, I'm concered your engaging in the huddle with your pictures. Lets all do the huddle lets all do the huddle nah nah nah nah

Not so much nervous as sick as a fooking dog.


Can't believe it's only Tuesday.
I have no idea if my stomach will make it to Saturday
