[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

That's what i thought, usually there is some advantage to being drawn out first in this case it should be offer them a selection of venues other than their home stadium and let them pick it |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Last 12 games show 6-5 in our favour, with one draw.
We have the best recent record though with 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 games. The last time we got beat there was only from a last minute try as well.
We had a dry spell but overall we do pretty well there. We have had some fantastic wins there, the best probably being the play-off wins in 2003 and 2010.
It won't be played at Leeds though, I just got all giddy using Bilko's website for research

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

Not sure your predictions are correct here.
How many times have Leeds played a semi final in Yorkshire when drawing a team from Lancashire.
I might be wrong but it seems we travel more than you think we do over the years.
I think both semis should avoid a football ground if possible.
Warrington and Odsal maybe.

Where have you plucked this nonsense from? If Catalans or London had won over the weekend and been drawn out first, would the semi be played in France or London? No. |

This is nonsense. Their is no rule regarding the first team to be drawn out having sort of advantage with regards to venue. Rubbish. |

I know it's 'rubbish' i'm saying there should be an advantage like in earlier rounds.
The RFL announcing potentially venues and letting first out the hat pick would be a benefit |
