Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

When I hear the rumours flying around about Finch and now Lima possibly leaving at the end of the year and obviously us already losing Leuluai it brings it home how we need to make sure we start getting English players in our pivotal positions because to stay at the top we can't afford to keep having these rumours and departures each year.

Russell at 1 with Sam at 6 is looking more and more favourable at the minute. Hopefully we'll still have Finch to go in at 7 but if not then we'll have to sign a top class replacement. Id also be targeting Daryl Clark from Cas before Wire inevitably do. He's a class act at 9 but could also jump in the halfs or at loose forward and he'd open up a lot of options for us.


Great point. It's something I've advocated on here for a while. Leeds have had the success they have because of stability in key positions, and the same apply's to Saints of old.

As for Daryl Clark I've made my feelings known about him on here before. He'd be my #1 target of all the youngsters currently running around in SL. The kids one hell of a player. Surely the Joel - Saracens money should be in our possession by now. Let's use it.

We're so close to building a team that can challenge continually for years to come. We just needs those last few pieces of the jigsaw.

"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.

Heard from someone quite well informed who is usually right that Finch is DEFINITELY leaving at the end of the season but that we have a replacement lined up buy they don't know who. The Chase rumour may be right then?

if finch goes, then chase and sam in the halves would be very interesting.
potentially devastating, but at the back of my mind the name D.Moran keeps surfacing.

I don't think it would be half as effective as Finch and Sam. No experienced controlling half to lead our team round the park, both off the cuff creative players

I don't think a Tomkins/Chase combination would work with your structures. Your attacking moves are very slick and precise with the passing of Finch and Leuluai which I don't think would be replicated.

Agreed. Finch needs to be kept at any cost and Sam needs to stay at FB

Finch is the key to Wigan next year.

Stay and we'll challenge even if we sign nobody but if he goes we'll need to be very clever with our recruitment.

I hate to say it but the more this drags out and the more negative rumours I hear i'm starting to believe he's probably going and i've been somebody saying not to panic.
