It was a brilliant game from start to finish - the ending didn’t suit the manner in which the game was played
The ref did not effect the outcome
Both teams were absolutely evenly matched and it took a piece of ridiculousness to settle it
I’m devastated but we played our part in what has to be the best grand final ever

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
A great game of rugby league, all 34 players gave it everything. The biggest difference between the two sides was the bounce of the ball or should I say the woodwork. Saints never looked like crossing the whitewash, we created several chances but our execution wasn’t good enough. Had we had 50% of the ball then I am convinced we would have won comfortably.
On to 2021, congratulations to Saints (said through gritted teeth), we will be there or thereabouts next season.

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
French was superb tonight! For me, I've always thought Willie Isa was 'a good squad player' at best but, I thought he was immense tonight. Worked extremely hard consistently IMO.Firestarter wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:24 pmi thought french was momWigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:23 pm Like has been said I’d rather the bloody drop goal had gone over french will be gutted he was magnificent all night and just switched off for a second

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
Lockers deserved better than that ending.
Poor decision by Kendal, many other highs let go.
Use it as motivation for next year.....
No fault on French the ball took a freak bounce into Welsby's arms - nothing he could have done , when the Universe is against you....

Have to love Carney’s summary on the final try. He had a lot to do after elbowing French out of the way.jaws1 wrote:Do you not think he was pushed out of the way he was appealing to the ref.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:23 pm Like has been said I’d rather the bloody drop goal had gone over french will be gutted he was magnificent all night and just switched off for a second

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
It was nice to see French crying and Jacko totally gutted. Shows what Wigan means to those guys and they haven’t really experienced us lot yet. Can’t wait to support these guys in the stands and at old Trafford next year.

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
Id agree,ive been critical of French and his defence before tonight though he was immense typically the one time wigan needed that extra split second of pace he was caught in 2 minds and even then he nearly got back for it.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:18 pm We cannot fault any endeavour or effort from the ENTIRE 17 tonight. It was certainly heart breaking and controversial how we lost, but surely no one can dispute that we gave 100% tonight.
The wife thought he was pushed out of the way..im not so sure though 50/50

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
Yes but nothing you don’t see welsby wanted it more - french was looking for it to bobble out his head was in extra time - french was our best player tonight I might add but He had clocked off for that try welsby hadntjaws1 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:29 pmDo you not think he was pushed out of the way he was appealing to the ref.Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:23 pm Like has been said I’d rather the bloody drop goal had gone over french will be gutted he was magnificent all night and just switched off for a second

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

I'm hoping Stains will accept a polite invitation from down under and get walloped by Melbourne in the WCC like Leeds in 2018!

Re: Grand Final 21-man squad
I think the 50/50 is equally applied to Welsby's offside and Zak's conversion (it goes in your favour or it doesnt).fozzieskem wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:32 pmId agree,ive been critical of French and his defence before tonight though he was immense typically the one time wigan needed that extra split second of pace he was caught in 2 minds and even then he nearly got back for it.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 10:18 pm We cannot fault any endeavour or effort from the ENTIRE 17 tonight.
