It's like watching Wigan TV on Sky

Come on wire, finish the job.

Managed to hold Wigan with both Hill & Sims off the field.

The next key point is when Clark goes off.

They really are all about Williams and gelling, I hope we win but hands up those two are brilliant players. We need to close them down.

Gave my 2 tickets (that I won) to my mate & his mate ex Leigh & Wire Sir Desmond of Drummond, can't be there myself as I am working.

I believe we are all Wire fans tonight ....

Come on Wire.

Very similar to the Wembley try

We just cannot hang onto a lead in a big final + what's even harder to stomach is this isn't a great Wigan side compared to their past teams.

Your lads looked out of their feet in the second half. Hard luck, was rooting for you to be honest.

Or a great warrington side compared to our last gf team

Nothing to do with hanging onto to a lead, just not good enough.

Outside of Hill no one in our pack has any go forward...

Gidley is past it, and was a laughing stock in the nrl for the last few years, has a limited passing game for a half, highlighted at the end of this game where he ignored an overlap to run the ball.

People moaned at me for mentioning his faults after the win at hull, but against a motivated and well organised defence, his weaknesses were exposed.

Evans in attack is like watching an under 9 player, has no idea of running at angles or when and when not to pass the ball. We might as well just stick a traffic cone there, I would hate to be a winger next to him.

We couldn't win the collision or control the play the ball


We actually looked like the Wigan side early season clueless in attack, credit Wigan they defended well but we didn't really test them.

A lls is not a bad end to the season, but to have been in both finals is tough to swallow.

It was t king that didn't make the pass tho Ron not gidly

Did somebody throw a Tomato at Gidley?



No smirk off Smug Smith.

Taking off Patton who was playing quite well.Wtf was Smith thinking + Sandhow for me can go back home.

T king is a kid who is on 20k a year, I expect that from him.

Gidley is a veteran on closer to 200k a year, when he was tackled by Gelling and smith at the end, if he passes the ball we score.

Well we keep the song for nxt year.

It's your year.... next year

100% correct!

I'm too disappointed to really post without being all doom and gloom,

But we managed to finish first over-the-counter season and have found that deckannpatton can step up to the plate as can t king. Which are huge positives ww can take from the season.

I remain optimistic for next season but think that this is one of worst teams we've had in terms of scoring on the wing, Lineham had a few opportunities more half chances than anything else tho and Russel even less!!

But congratulations Wigan deserved winners of that gf

The one man id expect to make the right call in finals is gidley but disappointed me big time.

Russell's not a winger and lineham must have the worst passing centre in the league.

from a neutral perspective i thought Gidley was one of your better players tonight. Its easy to look for people to point the finger at but imo it was the lack of punch in the pack aside from Simms and Hill is pretty non existant especially next to Wigan who had loads of go forward. If your going to point fingers tonight look no further than Westerman, made brain fart after brain fart and missed some bad one on ones.

Spot on.What I would have given to have seen Boyd,Tamati + Jackson on that field tonight + aside from Hilly the pack is crap imo.

Why the "Thugs" title by the OP, it was a gutsy display by Wigan whilst Wolves were all huff and puff in the second half. Might be your year next year, next year, next year.
