We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.
I dunno, if Wigan get any ball or control of the game, they will win.
Wire could smash Saints tomorrow as well. If it's Saints v Leeds again they should just play rock, paper, scissors and then award Leeds the title.
I'm backing this idea now. I really did not give Leeds much chance of getting to the GF this year. In fact I thought they had less chance than us and I did not give us great odds.

I think the saddened effect is similar to how Wire felt all those years, when playing Saints.
We hope to win, we want to win, we'd love to win but the experience of losing so many on the bounce now feels less like a sporting contest and more like a right of passage. I'm super excited for tomorrow, if we get past Wire, I'll be super excited for the final and I will believe, but in the back of my mind in both games I'll be thinking here we go again.
Saints fans want to break this cycle of losses and I suppose in some mis-guided way any change seams positive to some, where as losing in the semi is worse than losing in the final. It's shows how spoiled we've been over the years to be able to have fans who think this way, when other fans would just be happy to make the GF. Conversely some Leeds fans are now so used to winning the GF, that they can even hold some sympathy for us and would not begrudge us winning one, this year or next.
It's a bit of a bizzar senario and I actually think a loss tomorrow will cause alot of us who have been very lucky to see what not making a GF means. It means you are out of the competition and it's not a better result after all.
COYS - if we want to break this final run, then we need to get to the final, as if we don't we still keep the bad run, it does not go away.
Last week I really wanted a Wigan v Saints final. But with the arrogance of Wigan with Lenegan, Wane, Tomkins and O'Loughlin each putting in there five penneth worth in the media, it obviously had a positive effect on the Leeds team on team bonding. Can we do the same, the problem is its only the Wire fans who are providing the arrogance in talking about GF tickets and the world club challenge. Rush and Cunningham want s a ferocious start to the game, if we get that then I reckon we will be in with a great chance, I am expecting a close game, we need to give the team plenty of vocal support.

Five penneth, no more than two-penneth surely. Come on you sound like you’re saying it’s only Wigan, SW, IL and the fans who throw their chests out and gob off in the media and on these boards, or that they are the worst, give us a break, that’s not true. Check the boards and you will see they are all more or less the same! Leeds won and deserved it, we lost and deserved it. We all say things in bravado, I know Rush has, and that’s fine, but don’t try to make out that Wigan are any different to anyone else, they’re not.

Isn't it the Wigan fans that make out they are better than everyone else ? Silly stupid comments like "we are Wigan, we do what we want" "we do things the Wigan way" "everyone hates us and we don't care"
Shaun Wane has said some pretty arrogant stuff this year and in all honesty he did Brian McDermotts team talk for him last night.
Kicking and punching the walls was embarrising but my favourite quote by him was post match with Eddie on sky " we could have won that game easy"

Oh dear, you seem to be locked into Wanes World, I don't what it is but IL, SW, ST and SO are not media Savvy and come across as easy meat for the journo,s, unfortunately the translation comes across as arrogance.
