Strangely, I don't feel nervous. And I'm not sure whether that is a good thing or not.
I wouldn't say I'm confident, but there can be no doubt that Wigan will be more motivated for this match than any other they've played in modern times. They'd have to be a team of blockheads not to realise that this could be a major event in all their sporting careers.
They must also feel, after toughing out two challenging play-off matches, that they have the tools to do the job. Saints may have underperformed in recent weeks, but there's more evidence than mere results to suggest that they're not quite the team they were. I also feel that Long's decision to spend the afternoon book-signing rather than preparing for the match is indicative of one of two things (or maybe both): he's not too concerned about this fixture, or Potter hasn't got the dressing room.
If Wigan lose this match, it won't totally surprise me - it's still a tough ask. But I will be surprised if they get hammered - there is every reason for Wigan to give it their best shot ever, and no reason for the sort of oveconfidence that saw us flunk the CC semi.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

We're bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, nah nah nah nah nah.
My daughter made me put the video of that on her PC, so she can watch it whenever she likes (which is quite often)

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 |

[quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |
