Wigan are arguably the biggest name in British Footy.

I personally would be delighted to see Wigan make the final


But will it happen???

I think the club have a good chance of making it....but Hull KR are a quality outfit ....and they can't play any worse than they did last week

Nevertheless Barry McKenzie will be going for a Wigan win

If we get past Hull KR, I won't be going to St Helens full of fear. They are in the worst form of all the play off teams and they've scored only 69 points in their last six Super League games. Very un St Helens like.

I don't think anyone will beat Leeds though sadly.

Wigan need to play alot better then they did on Sunday to stand a chance this week imo. We just didn't hold onto the ball and made far too many mistakes.

If we control the ball we stand a chance. If we win i'd imagine we'd play Saints and that would be an amzing battle that could go either way although we'd be underdogs.

To sum up.........we've got a chance of winning the whole thing imo but it's a long shot and to do it we'll have to play better then we've done at any point this season.

I agree.

St Helens are a shadow of the side they were a few seasons ago.

Good luck though, hope Wigan make it

I reckon:

Hull K.R v Wigan
Huddersfield v Les Catalans

then it really depends on the club call, which will surely be affected by how the teams play at the weekend. I reckon they would pick Hudds though because Leeds beat them in 2/2 games as opposed to beating us in 1/2 when we were off form. If Leeds pick Huddersfield I'll go:

Leeds v Huddersfield
St Helens v Wigan

and for the final:
Leeds v Wigan

To win it would be a huge ask but i think the final is certainly a realistic goal, and who knows once you are there anything can happen.

Totally agree, to get there is a real possibility, to win the thing may be a step to far but you never know.

I fear Hull KR more than most, I suspect. I'm worried that too many people are writing them off just because they've got a few injuries. Hopefully, the Wigan camp won't be doing that.

However, if we get through and end up facing Saints in the semi - as others have said, our tails will be up. Saints seem to be a waning power at present, and a Wigan victory over Saints in a big match is long overdue. Likewise, a Wigan victory at KR is long overdue.

After that though ... it's in the lap of the gods. Beating Leeds in a final would be a big ask. But then, in last year's semi, we came reasonably close to beating them, even though we played badly (two key Wigan knock-ons saved Leeds's bacon that day, despite all the territorial advantage they enjoyed), and we blew them away earlier this season.

Nothing is impossible.

Can't agree with that after we beat Hudds and KR got whipped.

We looked up for it against Hudds and didn't concede a try.

Having saif that, Wigan Saints and Leeds each have a good chance of winning SL this year IMO, can't see anyone else getting to OT.

I thought Hudds were incredibly poor though, having seen them put in a magnificent display against a half hearted Wigan the week before.

It depends how you look at it though. I always go like Sky Sports Form Table on their football coverage - where they go on the last 6 games.

During the last 6 Super League games of the 6 remaining teams St Helens are bottom of the six with 3 wins from 6 games. And we all know that one of those wins was against Wigan which could have so easily have gone the other way.

Does Barry McKenzie always talk about himself in the third-person like that???

It's certainly not something that Pemps does.

We didnt let Hudds into the game at all, from the very first minute our defence was in thier faces putting the big hits in and disrupting their game plan.

Over the last 6 league games we have been guaranteed top 2 which would explain the lacklustre performances - and the 1 game we needed to win (aginst Ledds) to finish first we were pretty good and it could have gone either way. Our defence has been pretty good in both important games over hte past few weeks and it will take a lot to score many past us.

Having said that our attack has been pretty poor, so if any team can figure out how to score past us they will probably win - ala the cup semi final against Hudds.

I remain unconvined that Wigan have the ability to score many past us - but I wont be taking any semi final against you lot for granted, and I would much rather play Hudds or Catalans, but not Hull KR. It should be a cracker.

In addition to my previous post - if Saints had played Wigan last weekend and they had played to the same level as they did in their respective games against Hudds and Cas, we would have won comfortably.

Nearly 40 points at Millenium seems to suggest otherwise!

PS

Weve scored more past you lot this season than you have past us!

In addition to my last post if you lot played next week like you did against Catalans then Never Mind Wigan Beat You , Ince Rose Bridge under 8's Would have licked you!

That's another way of saying, if my aunty had Balls Blah Blah Blah!

'twas a freak result at Murrayfield (not Millenium - we have scored a lot more at the Millenium than you

) due to the players and club seemingly not giving a toss.

If we turn up (which is a big if this year - I can count the games on one hand) I dont think many teams can score many points past us.

all very true.

Occasionally Barry McKenzie does like to refer to himself in the third person, yes

But when you win it's because you "Turned Up!"

It's just like what happened to us about 96/97 when our decline started!

96 was lucky for Saints
97 we didn't turn up
98 we did turn up
99 we didnt turn up
2000 we were unlucky
2001 We didnt turn up on the day

See what I'm getting at? YOU DON'T SCARE US ANYMORE! Your not the team you were 2 or 3 years ago.

You just can't see it!

AF that happend Brian Noble would get a 10 year Wigan contract

i mean IF

Well this has been a long time coming but Barry_McKenzie this is the first post you have made that isn't complete rubbish.

you havent won anything yet! I agree, we are not the team we were 2/3 years ago but i'm not worried about facing Wigan. If we turn up we will win.



The question, will Wigan even be presented with the opportunity to face us. got to win this weekend first

We will! If we turn up!
