Great effort from the lads tonight, considering the injuries/suspensions to our 9 first teamers etc. Our defence is probably the best I've seen it in a while. We have so much depth in this squad it's unbelievable, and add to the fact that they are also quality rugby players, our future certainly looks good.

One special mention while I'm at it to Sean O'Loughlin, absolutely immense attack and defence. Lead from the front when our backs were against the wall, and already my tip for MOS.

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 - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



Seriously amazing effort with the team we had out. Hudds could not get through, the try they did score was dodgy as well....

Superb effort. I'm absolutley made up. I really didn't see us pulling it out the bag tbh. Every single player stood up for each other and made it happen.

For me it should never of been given, Clearly hits gilmours hand but thankfully it made little difference in the end.

Fantastic, one of the best from over 26 years of watching. Every player should be proud of that tonight.

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple? "unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened "I'm done. Brown out. If LMS, Turner or Walker get in any match day squad i will not be attending from now on in." LFC Saint:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41943.jpg



OMG WOW

Did not give us much of a chance tonight given the lads missing but this is the new culture!!!!!

What a magnificent performance by the lads.

So many great performances but the Hoff is my fav. icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif

Backs against the wall, under strength, referee had it in for us, but just like the rlfamous win over heavy favourites St Helensrl back in 2003, we came through in style.

Kevin Brown was on the winning team that time, but not this time.

At the half-way point, I thought Danny Brough's kicking was going to make the difference, but that defence was AWESOME tonight. Some real pride out there, proper determination.

Very proud of the lads for tonight, great discipline too.

The best part of it? Those who didn't play tonight have got competition for their places, which is very healthy for us.

I thought Wigan would come a cropper tonight with some key players missing and Huddersfield's charges going well. This kind of performance will be one we look back on not the games were we win with 30 points to spare. Great result away from home well done lads

Superb effort, was not expecting a win but the lads played out their skins and that defence was by far the best I've probably ever seen.

He's class and Wigan through and through. Would love him to go on to win the MoS this year. If he can stay injury free he will have a great chance to do that and lift his second SL trophy, this time as the sole Wigan captain, which he deserves to be.

Not sure about that. We got away with quite a lot.

The Hoff looks a great signing, he is a world class forward and the only downside to having him in the team is that he poses a real threat to Locker's MoS chances! icon_lol.gif icon_cool.gif

[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.:

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



Immensely proud tonight. Great game.
