Quote Stan2363="Stan2363"I get the feeling that this is going to be better supported than the 2008, don't remember this level of excitement, maybe as expectations are higher this time, definitely has more of the same feeling of Cardiff 05 to me!!'"
in 2008 we had a dire season and awful injuries, the run up to the final was dominated by speculation about Dykes' injury and we faced a Saints side who were winning trophies for fun.
This time our season hasn't been spectacular, but its been better than 2008, the injuries aren't that bad (for a contact sport) and while Wigan have been a strong team the last few years, they have fluffed a few chances to win silverware.
