Amazing game. One to save to DVD that one, and one to show off the game of RL. Ding, dong, bong, bang, smash, crash. Any other week and Wire would have had it in the bag by half time, the breaks they made usualy lead to points, but the nerves seem to have hit them . It was a hell of a game, and that wire team is a hell of a team as the table and points scored and against shows.
Quote="Forever Warrior"You've had a great season and played some fine, entertaining rugby. Tough luck to lose a game that could have gone either way. i still believe that the league winners should be crowned champions and the play offs should be a separate competition.
Not everyone in Wigan wants to take the mickey. We've been close ourselves many times and it's hard to take. Your team has nothing to be ashamed of as they have been a credit to the game all season.

This. Some idiot in another thread trying to claim everyone hates us for our 'arrogance' etc. It's ridiculous to read.
^That could be because of some of the tripe some of the wire posters have come out with; it does work both ways remember.
Anyway, I'm not here to troll, I thought it was a great match, as others have said a great advert for RL, nothing too dubious with the officiating, it was fast paced, entertaining spectacle. Unfortunately there could only be one winner and it just wasn't your night; I think to blame 'inexperience'/nerves would be fair, as you certainly looked unsettled for large swathes of that (completely at odds with how you've played this season).
Anyway, always next years, but even so this has have been one your most successful seasons so far (in SL) winning the LLS is no mere achievement regardless of what the muppets say.
A bit sad really to see wire knocked out. It just goes to show the whole playoff system needs looked at. There is a chance that a team some 13 points behine top spot can become classed as the champions. A bit unfair I say. The leaders at the end of the year should be the champions and the playoffs just be a seperate trophy.
Still you had an excellent year and can only get better from here.
