Kill them in the backs Wigan!

Excellent preview as always Bilko

Just one more thing to add

Come on Wigan! Lets stuff them lot from over the lump!

Some good ramblings there Bilko. I think the nerves must have kicked in.

Love it

Awesome preview, seems we have supporters everywhere ahead of the game, from Twitter

loved it! first few paragraphs - excellent!

nervous now though!

great preview , full of stats as always

come on Wigan , lets bring that trophy home and put it where it belongs .

Feel nervous but excited too. Can't wait now. Bring it on.

I couldn't read this until today, for fear of no sleep at all.
Excellent preview. I would like to say as per normal, but there's nothing normal about those first 3 paragraphs.
Great laugh though. See you tomorrow.

Cheers Bilko, I only finish work at 7am Sat and was hoping for a few hours kip, don't think i will waste my time going to bed now. I'm that excited think I will need a brandy or two to calm my nerves.

Good one that, Bilko.
This game, as you suggest, marks a real turnaround in the club's on field fortunes. Tomorrow we are all at Old Trafford for the Grand Final.
For the past few years I like many have gone in hope to Headingly and KR and then have had to trudge home after the last game of the season for us.

We have had some barren years and it now feels to me like the 1984/5 time again. Whether we win or lose I am convinced that the Wigan club is back at the top and it's where we are going to stay for a very long time.

Under Ian Lenagan's ownership the club has turned around in a time I'd have never believed possible given the mess we were in when he bought the club.
Everything appears to be going in the right direction. On and off the field the club is excellent. This first team is almost the same as last year yet their performances are unrecognisable. This is down to the new coaching team appointed by IL.
The future for Wigan RLFC has not looked brighter for decades and tomorrow win or lose will be the end of the season where Wigan at long last have topped the League. They have already proved they are the most consistent team in the League.

As for the Leeds semi, Bilko. Why does everyone mention Peacock, Burgess and McGuire missing for Leeds mean that if they'd played Leeds would have won? They all played at Headingly in the League game a month or so ago and they lost 26-12 to Wigan. Even had they played I still think Wigan would have won that game!

And just to mention - Anselmians - they are a Union club based in Birkenhead who are an old boys team from St Anselms School.
