I would just like to congratulate you on last night and wish you luck for next week, if you don't win it, it will be yet another travesty for our sport. You've been brilliant this year (again) and deserve it after the disappointment of last year. Once again, from a Wigan fan, good luck.

awww cheers mucka

How's life in Division 3 Bluenose?

One in a row, nine to go...

So a good luck thread to your Rugby team has turned into baiting about my football team, your levels of obsession knows no bounds.

Aww diddums.

why so !! you had your chance and blew it

get a grip

Funny really. We moan and gripe about the trolling and baiting from the pies, and now one comes on to wish us good luck you bring up a completely irrelevant comment that's just not needed. And we wonder why no one likes us...

Thank you Bluenose, I appreciate the comment for what its worth

Totally agree but don't judge all of us by just 1 sarcastic post which imo there was no need for.

Totally sgree and what a shock Dropkick Murphy in antagonistic post well I never!!

Good luck Wire hope you win Final a Wildcats fan...

Yep. I'm hankering for a Wire win, nothing especially against Leeds but for the credibilty of the sport it would be better if the eventual Champions were a team that had taken the regular season more seriously.

Yes, winning from fifth in 2011 was a great story but I wouldn't like to see it become a regular occurance.

Just something I was thinking earlier.

When was the last time Wire played at Old Trafford? I remember us playing you in 1989 (IIRC) Premiership Final, the one where Joe Lydon kicked the ball half the length of the field and scored. Have you played there since?

That was Maine Road.

87 wasn't it not 89?

You sure? Maine Road was the Joe Lydon drop goal (CC Semi Final).
The one I'm on about was the Premiership Final and Lydon dribbled the ball down the field to score. Almost positive it was Old Trafford??

Premiership Trophy 1986/87. Against the pies. Should have won ...robbed.

Sorry, having read my original post back I can understand why the confusion. The one I'm on about was a try by Lydon, not the drop goal.

The one where Bob Eccles played the 2nd half with a broken arm.

Yeah think so. Remember it being a low scoring, highly charged affair played on a heavy pitch in awful weather. And feeling fortunate to have won it!

Surely this wasn't your last game at OT?

Was the Premiership final of '87.....My memories are as follows...

1. It poured down.

2. Wire had quite a weakened side.

3. For some reason, a majority of the Wire team had skinheads in the week running upto the game.

4. The game was pretty awful - Ended 8 or 9 nil, I think.

5. Biggest highlight for Wire was a legendary Dessie 'head' tackle on Lydon, which ended with the Wigan lothario ending up in the dugout, wondering what the fook had just hit him.

Overall, it was a bit of an anti-climax after the victory over Halifax 12 months earlier.

Perfectly good Gary Sanderson (iirc) try for offside being disallowed for offside (as proved by TV replay)

Good Luck boys!!!
Will be cheering you on from Sydney via Eurosports.....you have the gutsiest toughest player of all time in the #1....hope all goes well and a positive result follows.



Btw, whats your coaches contract status??
I like him
We need a culture change, badly
