Think this evening may revolve around which is the bigger factor; Wigan's experience in seemingly to always pull out the right performance on the biggest occasions or rovers hunger and desire to end their (long) trophy drought?

Reckon Wigan will just have that little bit extra class and know-how to get the job done tonight, probably by a score, around 18-12, but it could easily fall the other way.

My nagging doubt is that sooner or later someone has to bust open the Wigan/Saints/Leeds cartel and lift the trophy. Let's hope it's not tonight



C'mon Wigan, you have half the City of Hull roaring you on to victory tonight!!

Get in!!

Bevan French is different gravy!

Christ.
Bevan French is ridiculous. Best player in the league and wasn't far off the MOS shortlist even after missing 8 games.

No substitute for pace as they say.

That offside rule needs changing. We got done for similar against Catalans. It's garbage.

How many of those sort of offsides get totally ignored during the season? Daft rule.

Pass that on to Richie Rich

French has done the obvious eye catching play, but Smith is absolutely bossing Wigan around here.
Rovers doing well to hang in it but Wigan look fairly comfortable to me. Happy to just grind up the middle. I think they'll start opening up the play 2nd half and throwing the ball around a bit more now they have a 2 score lead.

Smart move to take the drop goal.

Keeps Wigan in the lead for at least the next score and adds psychological pressure.

That last 2 minutes was ridiculous Wigan defence. KR should have had 2 walk ins.

Forum in November.. Fill ya boots!

Rovers will nick this.

Seen a replay of the Nsemba knockout, Burgess’ second effort on him should’ve earned him a ten minute rest. Not that I’m biased.

That’s what I thought too.

Lewis a turnstile all night then he goes and does that!

Wardle definitely should have sealed the match then. Outstanding effort by Hall but Wardle looked like he took that whole thing far too lackadaisical.

Think Peters might actually start crying here

Since......

I been saying all year that Ese'Ese is the best prop in the league but I'm wrong, it's definitely Thompson. I've not watched a whole lot of Wigan until back end of the season and he is an absolute machine. What an effort he's given tonight through the middle.

Well done Wigan. What a team. Quite possible that they'll win the treble next year too.

Ding dong. The witch isn't dead.

Congratulations to Wigan! They never looked in danger of losing this game. Rovers were poor.

Looking forward to celebrating someone’s Ruby Anniversary next year!

And don't we just know it!

Is it the first time a team has won everything in a season? WCC, Challenge Cup, League Leaders and Grand Final?

Great result. .How long now since the Dobbins last trophy?.
