It's games like this when I really do wish I could watch it live, even with the loss of Morely the first 10 minutes is not going to be for faint hearted up the middle.

A grand final preview....who knows could well be.

I'll go with Wigan by 7 points 19-12 in a low tight tussel.

Cheers .......p.s please don't hurt Matt King.

One of the best games I've ever seen. Round of applause for both teams.

So much for my prediction of a low scoring hard tussel.
Defence wasn't the order of the day I take it......bloody hell.

Have to agree buggritt, top notch game. Tomkins is an absolute genius

A match you will never forget,end to end and the atmosphere was unbelievable.

The first twenty Wigan overwelmed the Wire and then Wigan gave a few pens away and gave the Wire a bit of field posistion.
The breaks the Wire made down the Wigan right cut Wigan to pieces,Matt King was superb along with Michael Monhagan.
The worrying thing that I found ,especcially after watching replays was Paul Deacons lack of pace when chasing back (or across),he was left for dead on a couple of occasions when the Wire went on to score.
Warrington will proberbly feel that they would have won if Morley and Breirs had played and maybe they would have a point.
Soon after half time I said to myself,if Wire get their noses in front they will go onto win.
Sam Tomkins in the first half scored a try which many said would be a contender for try of the season,but then in the second half Josh Charnley scored one that may have been better.
Wigan though have got to address the problem which seems to have been there most of the season,lack of cover defending their right hand flank.

The final score was 44-24,but it was closer than that.

Very true what is said above, Matt King teared apart our flank today. Deacon too slow, but played well apart from that. Leulia not sure how to spell his name was the difference in the first half. When he went off Warrington came back in to it. Tomkins was absolutely fantastic again. One of the best players in the league at the moment.

It's good to hear Matt King is doing well, in anticipation of him arriving at South's next season....
