We can't pick the Wolfs and vice versa if they finish top.

We could pick one another if the other team lost in the first week of the play offs.

I would be surprised if Wigan lose, as they were so much better than Warrington in the Challenge Cup. If, as I expect, Warringon lose, I would be surprised if they get to Old Trafford, as either Saints or the new Leeds could beat them in the semi final. The psychological damage Wigan could inflict is enormous here. Whereas if Wigan win, they will have the massive consolation of a bigger trophy already in the bag, knowing it's a Cup hang over and that they beat Warrington in the other knock out game they played. Warrington have so much to lose, whereas Wigan can be relaxed and confident.
I saw a new side to Wigan in the second half against Bradford, a vision of the future? As they are so much quicker than plodders like Joel Monaghan and Brett Hodgson, if Wigan make a break they will score.
I recall the confidence and self belief coming out of the Warrington camp before the Cup 1/4 final, with those in hindsight hilarious posters. If they fall behind at all on Sunday the gremlins are likely to come back with a vengeance.

We have all been basking in the cup glory for the past week so initially the Warrington game would have been at the back of our minds, it's going to be a cracker though, us Wigan fans are awfully spoilt



I am confident the boys will get the two points and the hubcap, Madge won't have let the standards drop this week just because of the cup final.

Dear rugby gods in heaven
Hallowed be maguire
His time has come
His will be done
At wire as it was in the QF
Give us on Sunday the league leaders shield
And forgive Sam for his 'V' sign
As we forgive Joel for not putting the ball down
Lead us not into deafeat
And deliver us from dissapointment
For Wigan is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever AMEN

The problem with watching your own team week in week out is that you dont get a proper idea of the other teams.
The odd game on sky or your one look at them doesnt convey what the team has actually got. So a prediction is based on hope and hype, not knowledge, same for Wire.

But.
For us
Warringtons last win in Perpignan was the hardest game ive ever seen them play in terms or conditions, effort and mind strength.
For you
Madge is on his way, that's not good, its bad, uncertainty reigns at the DW, though they'll keep it quiet for now.

Facinating stuff, Wire havent been in this position since the early 70's. I think that says everything about Tony smith.

What a thoroughly odd appraisal going into this game.

You are so strange.

Thanks ! My teacher used to say that. High IQ Im told ??

Doubtful. Your grammar is terrible.

Facinating stuff, Wire havent been in this position since the early 70's.


1993-1994 SEASON....FINISHED LEVEL ON POINTS.....but must have been a 1 season wonder

1 Wigan 30 23 0 7 780 403 +377 46
2 Bradford Northern 30 23 0 7 784 555 +229 46
3 Warrington 30 23 0 7 628 430 +198 46

What's grammar got to do with intelligence ?
Sub 120 iq comment im afraid.

Mathematics yes, actually no.
A drop goal given in the dying seconds during the 70's robbed Wire of the league, Joe Lydon kicked it.
Should never have been a penalty, rub of the green ala wembley.

Wrong.

Strange, Joe Lydon only started playing for Wigan in 1986.

Maybe it was for Widnes?

personally, i see no reason why we cannot beat them. So i'll be down the pub watching and hoping



Anyone without a ticket, who lives in or near Abram, is welcome to join me!

Morley,grix and hodson named in warrington 19 wigan no o'loughlin. News now rugby league.

Drop goals are not given , they are taken.

No amendment to the Wigan 19 on the official site.

in the 70's?

are you refering to 93/94 season warrington wigan at wilderspool scores locked at 6 all , russell smith gives a penalty against paul cullen saying he went in with his knees in the tackle (never did imo) frano botica kicks the penalty goal 35 yards out and 10 yards from the touch line , wigan won 8-6 and that cost us the league that season , never forgave smith for the penalty , classic match thou at a sold out wilderspool also thousands of fans locked out , was any body else at this match

We were locked out for that game. Well gutted at the time.

As for Sunday, Moz definately plays, i had the inside nod on this today from a contact

I was one who was locked out that day, was absolutely gutted.
Managed to get back to a pub in Wigan to watch the last twenty minutes of the first half.

Did the delivery man put on speaker phone?
