I have given up responding to these puerile over-reactions. I am back on topic, can you manage it before you burst a blood vessel? Would that I were as young as you surmise, but, sadly for me, I lived through the entire era in my 30s. BTW, have you any idea what a 'cliche' is? I think we're testing the mod's patience.

Disagree with you there about the Saints v Hull final, thought Hull put in a good performance and took the lead with about 20 min to go, even though Saints ran away in the last 10 mins.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.

You're not just going to throw out a load of cliche-ridden, anti-Wigan bilge and claim it's true, and then try to hide behind the mods when somebody wants proof?

Let's hear it.

You are right and it wasn't fair to call that game a one-sided match, I just think that most people kind of expected Saints to run away with it at the end given the difference in class between the teams, whereas it would be a bit more of an upset if either Warrington or Leeds were able to do the same in this final given the way many people are expecting such a close game.

Beats hearing about thing for 20 years after they happen.

Wire win by 6.Full house,great game and abit of biff.That will do me.

When did you last finish top of the league again?

1972/73
Bilko

Well if Wire win then they are only one major trophy away from Widnes and could finally overtake Swinton and Halifax.

Means nothing nowadays, just an afterthought. Not even counted as a major trophy.

Hope to god Leeds win it but got a horrible feeling Wire will give them a good hiding, im sure they will be the "greatest side to grace the competition" if they do.

*Awaits the pathetic "you went full time before us" comments.

Have faith. Peacock has never trodden the wembley turf, neither has sinfield. Big players with alot to play for. Most of the current leeds team has never won the CC.

Wire will have to play really F*cking well to win.

So will Leeds. Warrington won't be giving up the trophy without one hell of a fight. Bad news for Wigan if Warrington lose at wembley actually. The loss will just fire up the players even more to get to and win the grand final. In knock out rugby league I as a Warrington supporter certainly don't fear anybody.

Doesn't always work like that. A loss could badly affect morale/confidence etc and you could struggle to recover for the playoffs. That applies to both leeds and warrington.

The same leeds that have beat your twice, comfortably this season? Wire bes pray for a miracle to retain the CC

nah

both games have been close

final will be no different.

Dont agree with that.We just need to show the desire we showed against Wigan,at the DW.

it probably still rankles with you that Swinton Halifax and Widnes won the second division title when they all came up after relegation.......

whereas wigan could only come runners up to Fulham......

It was York actually.

You're right. I would happily give up every trophy we won in the 80s for that 2nd division pot








btw how many trophies did you win in the 80s?

or a quarter of a century ago as i like to call it....???

Don't you love the way these discussions go? A Pie fan makes a provacative statement ( usually along the lines of all fans of all other clubs wishing they were Wigan ) a Wire fan defends the contrary position, and then the Pies get all shirty with the response! If you don't want a reply that may damage your thin skin and fragile ego, then don't post nonesense in the first place.
