Cracking post there mate. Your Dad would have been proud, and I genuinely hope it is a good day for you.

PMSL - Quality

I went to the final against Leeds, but I can't remember it. Sure I was at the cup final in 2002, but I didn't quite appreciate as much then as I would now.

He will be with me in spirit if not in person

A very touching post - particularly at this point in my life. My mum's been recently diagnosed with breast cancer and a win on saturday would just put a little shine on what has otherwise been a very turbulent year personally for me & my family.

In a nutshell: you wont be the only one in tears if we win on Saturday!

brilliant post

Tartan saint your a pathetic excuse for a fan who supports a small club from over billinge hill let the guy have his say without trying your usual tearing ppls views to shreds you moron

Tartan saint is one of the c*nts who it will hurt most if we win tomorrow.

If we lose he will be on here as soon as the final hooter goes bragging from his mum and dads attic and if we win we wont hear from him till next season.

Mate, why is it bothering you?

Seriously ... what are you doing on here if you're going to be upset by Wigan fans tub-thumping the day before their first Cup Final in eight years?

What do you expect - that we'll all be sitting around analyising painful 'truths', maybe expressing a belief that we don't deserve to be in it?

You really do talk crap at times. Attitudes like yours - "we're the real deal, and we've seen it, done it, shagged it etc" - only serve to show that you lot have been at the top too long and that it's time for a change.

If BillyRhino, who a few of us have had crossed words with recently (me especially - rather pointlessly I'm now ashamed to admit) can offer heartfelt good wishes for the big game, why can't you?

You offer some fair comments, but the bulk of your post is snide trolling. A very poor effort, even by your standards - and worthy of some scorn as it shows that a feelgood factor in Wigan is something you just can't abide.

Wow! How big is that chip on your shoulder.


Just get yourself there, get behind your team and cheer them on. What will be will be.
Hope it is a great game, one that the RFL and the rugby league world can be proud of. (Whoever wins - the trophies will stay this side of the pennines this season - that's were they belong).

I hope she comes through it.

Splendid speech to the troops, Cadoo. Very Churchillian.

The first mon from Saints clearly doesn't understand what that kind of thing is all about, and showed his ar2e in a big way.

Everything.... Simple!!

Kind of the same for me, I remember part of the glory days but was 7 in 92 when I started watching so too young to appreciate them, was 13 in 98 when we won the first GF and 17 in 2002 when we won the Challenge Cup but I really did appreciate that. With age I have become more an avid fan and with trophies being scarce since 2002 and all we have been through the last 4 or 5 years this would really be the best day of my life so far, also it gives us a crack at the Aussies if we did win and another chance for another fully bonifide trophy.

Brilliant initial post, and tartanstain can mock all he likes but he's never going to cut much ice on here.

I said back in 2006 that whenever the next trophy win comes it will make all those sleepless nights worthwhile and once we started to turn things round I always thought it would be sooner rather than later.

I've followed this club for 35 years now, have been through the bad and good times but the first half of that season was as low as it got for me. Likewise if we can pull it off tomorrow I will probably end up crying like a baby - For my nine year old son who lives and breathes the game and has seen nothing but semi final defeats so far, for Terry Newton and his family, especially his dad Tony who is as good a bloke I have ever met, and for the sheer delight at being on the verge of something big once again.

If we lose I'll just get drunk and look forward to next season.

PS - Just looked at the time and unless it goes to extra time, then this tomorrow it will all be sorted

Anyone who calls St Helens a "small club" clearly needs sectioning.

We've had some run in's but amazingly I agree with most of what you've said! Thought I felt rather ill today.



I came on here expecting exactly this kinda thing, people can say what they like about Wigan fans but they are among the most passionate around and quite rightly should be expected to be well up for the game tomorrow after what you've been through the past few years.

I hate all this we're the real deal talk that comes from Saints fans it will count for absolutely nothing tomorrow and If you go back a few years it's pretty obvious that you were the real deal, you were the real deal in 1998 didn't bother Sheffield Eagles much!

I've got mates who are Wiganers and I'm pleased for them that you are back in a final, and on one very basic level there is no more fitting game than the games 2 biggest clubs going at it for the title in Keiron's last game. These sorta games are what Rugby League is all about, I'll probably see my Wigan mates tomorrow, have a drink, have a laugh and then go and enjoy the game, Once again that's what it's all about instead of the stupid sniping of certain people that occurs on here. If the events of last weekend have taught us nothing else it should be that.

As for best wishes....... Well.... You can have them till the 79th minute when Keiron Goes over for the winner!

Enjoy your day.

whats TartanSaints problem?

Cadoo that was a brilliant OP, i feel fired up more than ever and that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

COME ON WIGAN!

Top post, tommorrow means so much to everyone at Wigan. Win or lose we are back big time!!

First and foremost it would mean that my team has won the GF, ultimately that's what it is all about for me.

Secondly I don't mind admitting that it would give me a sense of satisfaction that Wigan RLFC have bounced back despite the RFL's determination to keep them out of the honours (and there IS such a determination).

Thirdly it would rekindle memories of Wigan RL being THE dominant force in British RL, memories that I grew up with and consider a birthright. We ARE the most famous team in British RL, we ARE the most successful in it's history- let's carry on where we left off....

It would mean a perfect end to a great season.

It means the sales of scotch eggs and pasties will rise with you dribbling idiots parading yer 'MECCA' bingo tops all over town, discouraging visitors to the glorious centre

"Wigan RL being THE dominant force in British RL, memories that I grew up with and consider a birthright. " You deluded single minded clown, you want crackin round the chops with a 6lb salmon and puttin to bed
