He's an eternal pessimist and likes to assume the worst in all situations

I hope we can win the game on Friday because if we do lose I can see a few people starting to question our chances of lifting the superleague trophy. We'd have lost 3 games on the bounce against Leeds, Saints and then Wire against those top teams and with that will obviously come the odd question.


The loss of Coley is huge but I think we can win the game. It should be one hell of a battle.

And RLFans will go into meltdown if we (Wire) lose as we are then clearly bottlers, not being able to beat Leeds and Wigan home or away and still got our nightmare fixture to come.

Perhaps the psychology of it is worth more than the 2 points. From Wire's point of view it really is crunch time. More Psychological than us, and the 2 points are also vital. Wire WILL NOT win the GF from outside the top 2.

If finishing top was what counted above all else, neither Leeds or Sts would have lost some of the games they have this year. Until two years (?) ago you only got a mild round of applause for coming top of the table.

I wouldn't worry too much though - you'd be favourites in most people's books to win the GF this year. Leeds are very much concentrating on the Cup IMO (as well as looking disinterested far too often) - and win or lose it will be a major distraction for us. Sts and Wire are also still fighting over the Cup. If Wire get through to the GF I can't see them winning it. So as I see it (no expert mind you) I think it's between Wigan and Saints this year.

I know what you mean mate, i don't think Wigan would have lost as many had finishing top been the main aim.
