| Quote: MikePB "I agree with you. Its like last weekend, Wigan were favorites'"
but last weekend we had won 5 of our last 6 games, beating the current SL champions and narrowly losing to saints, also were the team sitting in 4th position and probably the form team in the league. We were rghtly favourites.
Hudds however are sitting 5 places above you in the table, well clear in the top 4 of the league and have jut beaten the cup holders and the best team in the league. Hudds should be odds-on favourites on paper but it's a final where anything can happen i suppose.

I'm sorry, but there is no way their pack will destroy ours. They have a good pack but ours is still better.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Well that's your opinion but it ain't mine, for me Huddersfield have the better pack, there's not much in it but they have the edge plus there style of play will match up against yours well.
Quote: Chris McKean "Did you back Wigan to win last sat?'"
Funnily enough I did back my team to win last week, but only if they managed to get on top of the wire pack, they didn't and we know what happened.

| Fair enough if that's your opinion. Would you mind explaining yourself though
They have the edge on the interchange, mainly due to Crabtree, and I haven't listed them below but I think our starting options more than cover that
Adrian Morley - 8 - Keith Mason
Michael Monaghan - 9 - Scott Moore
Gareth Carvell - 10 - Darrell Griffin
Louis Anderson - 11 - Stephen Wild
Ben Harrison - 12 - Liam Fulton
Ben Westwood - 13 - David Faiumu

The packs are very close like I said, I suppose when comparing the starting individuals they are nearly even, you've got the edge in Morley, Harrison and Westwood but the Giant's take the others, and like you say the Giants bench in just that little bit stronger. One of the reasons in which I don't think you'll get on top of them like you did us is due to the style the giants play, against us Morley and Carvell ran it in hard finding there feet quickly with Monaghan using the quick ball to exploit the unset markers and defensive line, however against the Giants they'll slow you down a lot, not allowing Morley and Carvell to get those quick play off the balls that Monaghan exploited so well against Wigan.

I toyed with the Idea of not responding to your childish post, but in the end I had to as I couldn't bare the thought of letting someone who is obviously suffering mild retardation having the last word. I say mild as your obviously able to work out how to use a keyboard but not really much else, and who knows you may prove not to be retarded at all just very very thick. Yes there was a chance that Fielden and the bouncy castle as you put it had a chance of getting on top of the wire pack, it may have been a very slim chance but it was there. As for being sad no not a chance, as for you being sad yes there's a very high chance of that.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Quote: Asgardian13 "Billinge Wire was only responding to Robinson's ridiculous position. If Wiganers decide to support a Yorkshire team that's up to them, but don't give us the old 'it's because Wire are arrogant' routine. The only arrogance is yours not being able to accept that you don't have a God-given right to win a trophy every year.'"
In all honesty, i dont personally care who wins the final.
Sort Of Cheshire v Yawkshurr? Makes no difference to me [size[i(even though i do live in the pretty part of Cheshire these days!)[/i[/size
It aint us And it aint Saints - So it matters not one bit!

| Quote: ROBINSON "Yes, to rugby league fans. But AS I SAID IN THE OP, what about the general public?
Or don't you care?'"
Why would anyone in the general public, i.e. not rugby league fans, care if Wigan and Saints are not there? Your question is a little mundane and pointless and tbh very disrespectful, why can't some fans from the so called "big four" not understand that this fixture demonstrates that rugby league may be becoming more competitive in this country, which can only be good for the game and it's profile
