Quote ="FearTheVee"It's not a fact unfortunately, but nor is 4 GF losses in a row.
Yet!
TBH, losing on Saturday wouldn't hurt anything like as much as the recent losses (especially 08 and 09) as I don't think there's another team that would have managed to reach the GF without both first choice halves and key strike players.
Can't see Leeds without Burrow/McGuire, Wigan without Tomkins/Leuluai, Hudds without Brough/Brown or Wire without Briers/Monaghan making the same impact. A win would be a huge bonus, a loss and I'm still very proud of the effort that's gone into this season and much to look forward to next year.'"
Gordon Bennett if we hear this story about the halves again we will believe it
Its not very becoming to make your excuses for defeat, before you have actually lost the game, it just smacks of covering all bases and shows that you believe Wiggin will win, which will be music to our ears.
So long as, heaven forbid, if you win, you do not come on gloating that you knew all along you would win, because that would be very obvious double dipping ( sorry for the pun ) and we cant have that, with respect.
I said we will give it a good go!
