Strangest final I've ever been to. The huge gaps in the seats made the atmosphere very flat, which was how we played. Don't remember much about it, but do remember a play-the-ball near our own line where no-one took up the dummy half role & the Sheffield marker simply ran round & picked the ball up. Summed up the performance.
We also had a group of 'fans' all wearing RU shirts giving us abuse all the way through the match. All round cr@p day - just a shame this was our last Wembley experience.
I wasn't a Wigan fan back then but looking at the history they were a mid table super league side back then, I don't think they'll worry us now they're a championship side, and a poor one at that.
