we wiganers have every right to feel more confident after yesterdays' result. just as wire, leeds and saints fans will be feeling too.

i see no problem with fans beleiveing their own team can win ANY game. isn't that what being a supporter is all about - i may be wrong



including the CC final and up until before yesterdays' game, wigan had not played to their full potential if you ask me and many, like myself, felt we looked jaded and in need of a rest due to the old "CC hangover" hoodoo. going into yesterdays' game a lot of wiganers including myself once again actually thought it could have been our last game of the year. instead we put in a steady performance, ok helped by a couple of dodgy calls either way in fairness, but in the end came away with an emphatic win.

wire have chosen leeds in the hope, i'd imagine, that we beat the bejesus out of each other on saturday. it will be our 6th match this year as you'll all know which for me is a little silly but still, the game is the game and i want to support my team so therefore i'll take it for what it is.

in my opinion, wigan are still the favourites, even if we'd been largely out of form and not won in a few games, being the current SL champions and CC holders carries with it the moniker of being the favourite if you ask me. we have EDGED the games between us this year apart from the most recent game, and until that were unbeaten against saints in 2011.

so again, why shouldn't we feel confident?

let us be confident. by all means be confident yourselves. but the pressure is on saints whether we are the slight favourites or not.

I can't remember to be honest. I've already mentally blocked that game out.

Wigan were distracted wondering how on earth a national league winger could possible make a difference to the game from the bench and took their eye off the ball.

The stadium manager commented after the game that he had never know a sub bench seat so warm.

It doesn't surprise me he let out some warm gases. He had a curry and a few beers the night before, you might as well when you know you have the next day off.

Oops
