Your moment of 2010 (excluding Grand Final)
What has been your best moment in 2010 watching Wigan? For discussion I reckon we should exclude the Grand Final as it's obvious that is everyone's highlight.
My personal favourite was Joel Tomkins' try against Wire where Sam chipped over on the fifth tackle was amazing.
Other highlights was Gleeson's final try in the eliminator, terraces at Kowsley Road with Feka's try and the final whistle, applause the commando's got at the St. George's Day game v Quins was unreal and Pat scoring 5 and converting 9 versus Catalans was gutted for him when he missed his final kick (i think it was)

Mine, including the GF, was Amos scoring a try at HJ, putting Matt King on his arse en route!

Joel's try saving tackle on Solomona, forcing the ball out against Wire to secure the win.

Gleeson scoring in the final minute of the semi final. i couldnt see the the clock on the screen so when he scored that try that was the moment i realised we were in the final. or the win Vs Wire
Re: Your moment of 2010 (excluding Grand Final)
There are a few from last season but perhaps one of my favourites was the Gleeson try against Leeds in July when he just walked in.
Sat in a pub on holiday some (slightly stupid) Leeds fans had been mouthing off about Wigan all night...that shut them up and send them home, much like Wigan would do a few months later

The Wire victory at the HJ was special. The period when Amos was destroying teams (Cas and Wakey along with Wire) are games that spring to mind.

I'd have to vote for the win at Warrington. The season's first 2 matches were ones we might have been expected to win. But we'd never won at the HJ, but on that day, and even at 16-4 down we were still competing.
Joel's try from Sam's chip was the moment when we (and the rest of the league) knew we were the real deal.
But with the paranoia of the true fan it was only when Bridges missed a relatively easy conversion four minutes later that I began to believe we could actually do it. Then Solomona dropped the ball on the line.
I'm not sure my coronaries could take it but it remains one of the most exciting matches I've been to. Mind you, Wigan v Manly in 1987 wasn't bad.

Full time after the Leeds league match @ Headingley.
Turned to my son and said "We are going to win this"(Superleague). We stayed @ the Headingley Lodge that night and we able to rip the P*** out of some eejit Leeds fans with just a smile.

The 0-46 win at Hull, people say Hull were poor that night but only because Wigan were outstanding, slick handling, brutal defence, quality tries, that night I knew we would go on and win the title.

the last win at Knowesley Road. Just because saints were convinced it was going to be there day.
Saints are just wiganers who haven't fully evolved
