Quote: NSW "Question.

If we win on Sunday but don't make Wembley or Old Trafford is this season a success ?'"


It's a superb question and one I'm struggling with.

I think I'd be tempted to say yes but because superleague is currently pretty weak I think i'd still have to say it would be a failure overall.

If we do win on Sunday, I can see us maybe then going on to struggle to pull ourselves together for the league campaign for a little while but ultimately we've got months to get it out of our system and that's why I would still expect us to get our act together in time for us to make a final. It could go the other way though (if we win) and our form goes through the roof with confidence surging through our veins only to then fall on our faces.

Yes, only relegation could take the shine off our season if we won the WCC this year IMO

I was quite optimistic about this game until I looked at the Sporting Life site and saw that Ian Millward picks us to win. He doesn't have a great record with his tipping doesn't our Ian particularly where Wigan are concerned. He's not much better with his other forecasts either. For instance he tipped Huddersfield to beat Salford by more than 8 points in tonight's game. They lost by 10.

For me, yes, but it probably depends on your era. I think anyone too young to remember the Brisbane game is sick of waiting for one of our own to remember.

Quote: Wigan RLFC "I think theres a few reasons why people aren't really interested.
1 - The state Super League is in
2 - Previous years like you've said
3 - and the biggest factor for me are ticket prices - I know standard match day prices are pretty expensive at Wigan but I've paid £26 for my season ticket seat (east stand) - I'd say thats quite expensive for a non season ticket holder never mind a season ticket holder. Wigan pricing themselves out of the game completely. I know plenty season ticket holders who aren't going because of the prices. Why pay £26 quid for a ticket when you can go to the pub, watch it for free and have a few pints and only spend 15 quid? I'm not saying they should dilute ticket prices so it becomes a bargain but come on, be reasonable, especially for ST holders and families.'"



This for me is the difference between us and rugby union. Union people would be horrified by those prices and wouldn't buy a ticket unless they were AT LEAST £50.

£26 to see the best club side in Aus take on Wigan at their home ground is putting fans off? Personally I think its fantastic value

Agree. as a comparison thats the same price as a bog-standard Zurich premiership game at Saracens, and about £2 more than a regular season game to see Cardiff Blues.

Couldnt go to Manly as my dad wouldnt take meas he said it would be too full. Never missed one since though icon_smile.gif

The Penrith game was strange as we were expected to win as we were seen as the best team in the world then

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



The Manly and Brisbane wins probably rank as number 1 and 2 in our club's greatest victories. That tells you all you need to know about the importance of this game. If anything, the gulf is wider now than it was at the time of both of the games.

The atmosphere should be fizzing, can't wait.

Well done Wigan.

For me the mantra of anyone but Wigan is outdone by the healthy British need to beat Australians.

Think you've done a cracking bit of business in Escare as well.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg
