Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Interesting. I rate Gregson, never saw him as a half back though. I daresay he did not let anybody down though.

Missed a few. Saints in the final!

Home or away Josie? If at home, hopefully we can use the DW :)

Should be at home as we finished top of our play off group but rumour at the match was it is to be played at Saints next Saturday lunchtime as the DW is not available/too costly.

If we can't play at home I would prefer to play at LSV rather than give up home advantage to Saints and put money in their coffers.

I thought the scoreline flattered Wire although credit to them they never gave up. Had Wigan taken their chances we could have been looking at another 70 point scoreline. Good to see Bretherton back again, a bit of a worry about Hiigginson with his ankle injury. A good all round team performance but I thought Waterworth was outstanding today.

Should be a cracking final as there is not too much between the teams.

We should ask for it to be played on Sunday, I am sure that we can get enough volunteers to tidy the DW in time. Having said that, I think that it is farcical that the match cannot be played at Orrell - we can play there all year, even hold a semi-final yet not host the final, for what reason? Are the RFL expecting a 10,000 strong crowd?
