Unreal defense!! We will have our work cut our next week...saying that, if we defend like we did Thursday...it will be a close one..........

Something that we've been really, really good at in the big games in recent years has been our ability to out-last the opposition. Whether that's having the energy to make a late comeback, or the ability to physically exhaust teams like last week against Cas.

Bearing this in mind, I think the first 20 minutes next week is absolutely massive. If we start on the front foot, get them defending and keep errors to an absolute minimum, then I wonder if they'll have the ability to live with us in the final 20 unless they already have a sizeable lead.

The lungs & legs in this team is absolutely phenomenal, and I think they'll win it for us even if our attack isn't at 100%.

I was thinking along a reflective line about our chances against Wigan. From our perspective too, the first 20 minutes is massive. We lost that period badly at Wembley and never really recovered, despite the opportunities to grasp the nettle in the final 20 minutes and pinch the game. We were much better in the opening 20 minutes against Saints last Thursday, and against Wigan in the CC. The main objective that we didn't concede a try (even after 40 minutes IIRC). Wire had enough in the final 20 minutes of these games to see it through.
I cannot see the final being a try fest, although you just never can tell in this game, and whichever side gets a lead of six or more points will have a big advantage.
It may well boil down to the fine margins of who's best at making less errors and giving away fewest penalties. Here's to an enjoyable day out!

From our perspective I’m hoping we can get a good start against Wire in a Grand Final for a change! We’ve been on the back foot in 2016 and 2013 with silly errors and Wire have gone in front. Since the 2010 GF I’ve yet to come away from one feeling we’ve really hit top form and I’m crossing my fingers Saturday will see us do that.

The one thing that keeps giving me the creeps is that Wire simply must and will win a title one day and that day could be Saturday. You must be due everything dropping in to place and I’ve always felt when Wire do finally win one, it’ll be unexpected and come on the back of a year of ups and downs rather then a season of flying along building up hype.

I've always said that 'Our year' will come off a hit and miss season. We've flown under the Radar pretty much all year and popped up at the last minute. if it is to be ours then this year is our best opportunity IMO.

All the focus is on Wigan and Wayne's last game along with Sam, Batty and Sutton; The last hurrah so to speak. Wayne will have your lads fired up all week and that what I'm most worried about. Could go either way though, your lads could either have the game of their lives and make us look stupid once again or they could overplay and loose their heads, a la Ben Flower Vs Saints. I think that if Wire have any chance we have to get off our defensive line early, restrict the space for your halves to work in and force the error.

I can see a classic being played on Saturday. Close game down to the last minute. I just hope if we're in front we have the nouse to close the game out which is something we've always struggled with.

See yous all on Saturday, here's hoping we can all enjoy a beer together, have the banter and leave it at that

On the other hand Leeds used it to perfection in winning the treble. I would hope we have the smarts and experience to work it to our advantage.

Warrington kept Saints to one jammy try on Thursday so they must not be underestimated in that respect, not that we will. Do we know who the ref is? I ask because the way I have seen it of late is that one ref doesn't mind lying on and the slowing down the play but blows for offsides, were as the other ref isn't bothered about offsides and blows for playing infringements, OK that may sound a little too general but its the way I've seen it and it could be the key to winning the final.

Sadly, i cant see anything but a Warrington win. I think we will start well but I think they will be too big and powerful and we will run out of steam and end up pinned in our own half for set after set unless we can somehow find some decent kicks to turn them around. I just cant see us winning this one.

Like the last final with them don't know where your coming from

I got the feeling that the Wolfs threw everything they had at the Saints and will be found wanting, We should have no problem dispatching them and if by some freak act of nature it becomes their year then I shall spit my dummy, blame everything and everyone for our loss then threaten to stop watching Wing and join the RedVee

We've dealt with bigger & more physical teams than this Warrington side. I think they're much better than they were in 2016, but probably behind their 2013 side for me.

They're a good team, but I think they'll need to play as well as they did last week to give themselves a decent chance. I don't think they will.

Probably the most confident I've felt before a Grand Final since 2014, which is worrying in itself. Does anyone else get the feeling this on could be the end of an era for us though? With Wane, Tomkins and Bateman going, Lockers and Leuluai not far behind them, I could see this potentially being our last one for a while if we were to win

I always keep memories of Wembley 98 to keep me grounded. That was a long journey home.

Doom and gloom have some belief in the boys come on the Warriors
