Well said I am very excited for this one. We all like to take the Mick (escpecially me) just hope it can be taken in jest as it is meant and the bangs stay on the pitch

WHY???

you forgot "Guffaw"

I think it'll be another great game, Leeds V Wigan usually are with two groups of highly committed players and passionate supporters.

The prize couldn't really be any bigger with season over going to the defeated. This is how it's supposed to be at this time of year.

May the best team win ...... as long as it's Leeds - otherwise **** the best team winning bit.

Excellent sentiment RG and I agree.

Sadly, it's a game I can't get to but I'll be speeding back up the M1 to try and get in front of the telly for KO.

Safe journey. I hope you get back in time to see the t.v or at least pick up the radio commentary

Good post mate. Have a safe trip over and here's to a cracker of a match.

Thanks for that a considered post as usual..... unlike some of the inconsidered hypocrtical and juvenuile bile being spewed by a some what persistent fellow Wigooner.

Leeds have done well to finish forth and to take the final elimnation spot off you bearing in mind our season long injury spell but I feel that Saturday may be a step too far without JP and DMc.

Anyone with any sense isnt taking all this pre match shinanigans seriously Leeds are just instilling a seige mentality and MacGuire is just trying to counteract this.

Aye, have a good trip over and enjoy the banter in the SS club.

Well said.

Thanks RG. I'll be SK+ ing it so will have the radio and phone off as i break the speed limits!

Spare a thought for those of us who will have to go to Hull (of all places) to visit the mother in law, and won't even get to listen to the radio, never mind see it ont' gogglebox.

gutted

You were one of the worst ones for it.

Good words!! Here's hoping its a cracker, and whoever wins can prevent Saints from winning the GF...... if Hudds haven't already

Agree with all you said apart from he result bit .
Might see you in the club . I will be in there , or outside near the steps . Come say hello .

Swarcliffe .... I assume you and your kid etc will be there too . JR etc are having a few jars ar Wetherspoons pre-match so they will more than likely be late .

You'll recognise Old Rogues, the old grey hairs with a couple others of similar age will give it away sat right near the bar



I'm looking forward to tomorrows game more than the other semi finals between ourselves in recent years. I'm more nervous already for tomorrow as I'm expecting Wigan to push you all the way whereas in previous years you've more than deserved the wins whereas tomorrow it must be the first time we've been classed as the favourites. If we lose tomorrow it'll be very disappointing from a Wigan point of view however, it'll only prove that we're still short of doing what Leeds have been so good at over the last few years. Make the best team win and as been said whoever wins tomorrow make sure Saints don't win the final itself!

Great post RG I think this one is gonna be a cracker and look forward too the texts and banter off my many Wigan friends (all good fun) mind and win or lose i for one will be in the bar after going through the game with the same crowd. Now thats what rugby is all about.

Keith Swiftcorn Just to let you know Georgie Fame is from Leigh you dont want to upset them as well do you?

A repeat of the first play-off game will do me fine.

I don’t just mean because we won but because it was an edge of the seat, nail biting thriller. The game was still undecided with 5 seconds left on the clock – talk about your value for money.

You'll have to forgive Keith, he's not too bright.

And I was watching it in a boozer in Falmouth, arriving as the teams were running out ... All the other pubs that had Sky Sports in some of the other areas, subsequenlty have had it removed over the last year, so Falmouth it was.

The pub had a few bemused locals and the regular token Wigan fan ...

Cheers, RG, and well said. I can't be at the game but I'm sure it will be a good one.

He still pulls Pinocchio's strings though, they are rarely seen apart on threads now.

I agree. however, I'm afraid the idiots will be unable to refrain from giving Clarke the dogs abuse which means the reasonable Leeds fans will be tarnished with the same brush.

Hadn't noticed - but I'll keep an eye out in future
