Re: Leeds it is!!!
I hope it's Thaler, he's been the most consistent referee this season. He's fair to both sides, talks to the players constantly & stands no nonsense. So I think he would be aware to Leeds players foibles!Kittwazzer wrote:I've heard Hicks has been given the gig!georgeorwell wrote:Our lads will have to on their metal as you can bet your last penny that Leeds, orchestrated by McGuire, will try every trick in the book to con the ref. We really need a very strong ref for this game. Given a level playing field I would back us to win.
Plus I like him

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

He's been easily the best ref this season. Surely he should be rewarded for that with final?josie andrews wrote:I hope it's Thaler, he's been the most consistent referee this season.

Re: Leeds it is!!!
i am concerned re: the reffing
Im not one of the ones who think that the RFL is out to get Wigan but i can see that no-one outside of Wigan wants us to win, and regardless if its intentional or not the ref will have in his mind a controversial decision against us wont land him under as much scrutiny as vice versa
Waney needs to keep his gob in check this week, making sure that he doesnt start spouting words like "aggressive, smash" etc etc
We can win this, ive been saying all season leeds have been a class above but the petrol light is on IMO, we look fresher and better over the last 3 games.
One thing is for sure, we have to be whiter than white, everyone wants us to lose, but we are Wigan the greatest rugby league club in the world and come the final whistle we will be lifting the trophy!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Think your response was more pathetic than the original post, and like you said, don't know why you responded as you did. Better off remaining silent.
