With an extremely young team as well. Sam is leaving but to be honest we have some talent coming thru which could be almost as good in Hampshire and Williams, the only trouble is we might have to wait a season for that to materialise as with our halfbacks winning the MOTM in both finals it would be unreasonable to dispense with them immediately.
I posted after the first drawn game v Wire back in February when we were robbed only by some appalling touch judging that finally we had a pair of halfbacks who would win us something as they both had kicking games to steer us around the park, something which Leuluai and Finch whatever their virtues simply did not have. Nice to be proved right so emphatically.

It was a fantastic atmosphere. I think the fact we might have been considered underdogs got everyone going from the off.

I have gone deaf!

Went a bit quiet at 16-2 down but that try on half time lifted everyone and was crucial.

Over on RedVee following the Wigan victory, they are consoling themselves with the fact that at least they won't have to ditch any of their Wire songs! :lol:

At 16-2 I actually said game over and was fearful of what the score might end up. In the second half I was gobsmacked!
One thing that really annoyed me was Hemmings constant carping about Warrington losing two players he just wouldn't let it drop,I swear I could have put a brick through the t v screen.

Anyway I'm on cloud nine and don't plan to come down for a week.....in fact I might stretch it to two.. :wink:


WELL DONE WIGAN !!

He had to dream up some excuse. He's a Wire fan. I suppose he excused Westwood as well?

If we are going to decide the Champions based on play off / knockouts they can't complain if the rub of the green injury wise happens in the final. Blake green could have been out of the game after two minutes. What did he say about that?

Winky, what exactly happened to Dogboy? We were attacking and I was watching play. At first I thought it was the usual Tony Smith tactic to stop the game and hit our momentum!
