That is a huge, huge call. And the wrong one IMO. Nsemba has been outstanding and is match fit. Isa has been out for yonks and is prone to a stupid tackle. This is a huge call from Peet.

Did the same last season bringing Powell back who hadn't played for months.
Lessons learned ? About to find out

He also picked Havard for the CC QTRs Vs Wire. Worked a treat with him being the MOM.

Yeah I agree with all of that.
I’ll be ecstatic if we win but wouldn’t be surprised if HKR turn us over.
I think it depends on how pack performs. Will be interesting or see the 17 man squad. I’ve got a feeling Isa will replace Hill. Got to trust Peet on his selections.

Will hold my hand up thought we might lose this game, but what a performance get in wigan!!!

Well Channel 4, like many others, are not fans of Wigan Warriors are they...

We’re going to Old Trafford boys. Get in!!

Danika certainly isn't. Whoever we play she predicts the opposition to win and when we are winning it's because the opposition have made us look good. She is only on there because it ticks a box, she never adds to the discussion in any way. Sod em. We destroyed Hull KR, the back line ripped them to shreds. Great result, roll on Saturday.

Get in, as comprehensive as anyone could've hoped for

Who gives a e.

I think Harry Smith has played himself into the England No 7 shirt today.

On another note, did anybody pick up the words on the Fleetwood Mac song in the South Stand? I got the 'ah-ooh!' bit

Anyone any idea what end we are in at Old Trafford?

We were fantastic. The final will be a great occasion against Tomkins and Micky Mac. Surreal but very fitting.

Only downer from today was a brain fade from Dupree towards the end. A swinging arm that could cost him his place next week.

Thank you.

I must say after that display I feel more confident of a win in the Grand Final than I was of us getting there at the start of today's match but what do I know? Probably a bit more than that so called pundit Barry Mac.

Didn’t look like much as it happened did look worse on the big screen.

Saw it at the match but didn’t think much of it, does it look bad on the replay?

I’d say Dupree could be the difference for us.

It was annoying as it was so unnecessary - all through the last 20 you're thinking just get through it without HIAs, injuries or suspensions. Hopeful he'll get away with just a fine - it was just careless really, there was no card or injury.

Terrific start from us - we've struggled after a week off this year but we seemed to have reaped the benefits this time round. Very impressive to execute so clinically in a high pressure game. There were some errors in the second quarter which gave them a look in, all by players with little experience of big playoff games (Miski, Dupree, O'Neill). But the start to the second half was just as good as the start to the first.

Brilliant from Wigan and Matty Peet. Fingers crossed for next week and fingers crossed for good weather as its up front where they may have the edge on us.

I’ve watched it again and it is nothing more than a penalty to me.

Not if Ellis and Dupree play like they did in their first stint today.

KPPs performance probably gone under the radar. Thought he was fantastic again, played 60 mins at second row and prop. MOM was either Smith or Marshall. We have been a joy to watch the past two months. One to go!

No but as NK said previously - Dupree may be at risk of a ban and our front rowers off the bench are not of the same quality. Weird to think of all the reinforcements we'll have in that area next year with Byrne, Thompson, Cooper and Havard coming in but no good for us next week.

Only seen it in the ground so far and it looked a worry but will try and look on the replay later. It was easily avoided and he needs to learn from that. Hopefully nothing comes of it.

I wondered if Havard might be a chance for next week but I thought he looked a bit ginger walking round post game.
