Title: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: CrestOfaWave on October 01, 2007, 10:00:54 PM One for Kinboshi...
Cant see them winning the Grand Final even if they manage to beat Leeds. They have had an amazing run, Trent Barrett probably man of steel, however Saints have an extra week to rest and will get most of their boys fit and ready. If Wigan do win probably the best ever run in by a superleague side. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Longy on October 01, 2007, 10:31:46 PM They have done ridiculous well to win the last 3 games to be fair (St Helens, Bradford and Hull) but i can't see them beating Leeds. I think Leeds will have too much for them especially after the last 3 weeks.
I also think if Leeds win it will make for a close and more competitive final as Leeds seem like the only side that can trouble Saints this year when Saints are actually trying. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 02, 2007, 11:11:46 AM Leeds have to be favourites, but it's play-off rugby and anything can happen (as we've seen so far).
I think it'll be a step too far for Wigan though, but I'll be cheering them on. Wigan will need big games again from Barrett and Richards - as they've been delivering consistently. But it'll also need some of the less consistent players like Fielden, Leuluai, Hock (who had a good game against Hull) to shine. Shame Calderwood's out, and will miss him in defence. The question is, have the last 3 games taken everything out of the players, or can they continue to show this form for one (make that 2 ;D) games? I thought Leeds lacked a cutting edge against stains - and I hope the likes of Burrow, McGuire and Senior are as lacklustre against us on Friday. One thing for sure, it won't be dull. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: CrestOfaWave on October 02, 2007, 09:46:49 PM Agree it will be a good game - hope you win then Saints win 78 - 2 in the Final Lol.

If we get to the final, be afraid!!

If we get to the final, be afraid!! Depends on how many pies they've eaten. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Acidmouse on October 03, 2007, 11:13:10 AM Off to this game, also must say looking forward to the playoff final to get into superleague, Cas vs Widness
Man I love Rugby league :) Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 03, 2007, 11:32:21 AM An average game of rugby league is far better than an average game of football (IMHO). A good game of either is great to watch, but I'd say that a poor rugby league match is far rarer than a poor football match.

Have to agree with you - you get many poor football matches and several poor RU matches too. Would say that League is a consistently better watch than both. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 04, 2007, 10:10:43 PM How excited am I about tomorrow night? It's my bloody wedding anniversary, but the wife's great and knows how important this game is. We'll do the romantic thing another night ;D
Hope to see a caption similar to this at the end...

(http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r102/marcysel/aye.jpg) Oh no .... misfed into scrum ... Leeds win the ball ... out to Senior who bursts through the Wigan defence... TRY under the sticks.... Stevo: Can you believe it - they just had to play up your jumper Rugby and he goes and chucks the ball to the Leeds Hooker... Eddie : They're luck had to run out sooner or later , what a marvelous run. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: CrestOfaWave on October 05, 2007, 01:03:27 AM ps dont ever play a $3.50 triple shoot out - running time so far 2hr.25 mins been waiting 30 mins + for the final table.

When they ball went through Richards' legs on that last play I nearly had kittens!

A good game of either is great to watch, but I'd say that a poor rugby league match is far rarer than a poor football match. My Dad keeps telling me this. He's a big League fan, watches it all the time. I really should spend a bit of time watching it. Not sure I'll get away with it tonight sadly. I'll be supporting Leeds though, it's my Dads hometown so I can't really go another way :) Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 05, 2007, 07:29:35 PM An average game of rugby league is far better than an average game of football (IMHO).

As for having to support Leeds yourself though...my Dad is from Leeds and he supports them too. I was born in Leeds - but started watching rugby when I lived in Wigan (left Leeds when I was 2 years old). So Wigan it is. Leeds are my second team - so it's a shame tonight isn't the Grand Final. Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Graham C on October 05, 2007, 08:03:27 PM I think Leeds is the only RL town that I have associations from so I'll stick with them :D
Going to sound a silly question, but I don't suppose it's easy to get tickets for the final is it :D Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Graham C on October 05, 2007, 08:06:38 PM Scrub my question, there's a bloody big advert on the pitch for them :D
meh, scrub that again, next weekend - canny go to the blonde bash, canny go to the rugby! Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 05, 2007, 08:46:48 PM rotflmfao
You alright there Graham? As for the rugby, it's been all Leeds so far. Normally, at half-time I'd be pretty much resigned to the fact that the second half will be more of the same. But we'll see... Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Graham C on October 05, 2007, 08:50:22 PM I'm having a moment :D
Wigan made a few costly mistakes, I think they're a bit knackered. That's my professional view on the game ;) Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: kinboshi on October 05, 2007, 09:43:43 PM Well played Leeds. Easy in the end, and Wigan completely ran out of steam.
Hope they stuff stains next week in the Grand Final. Go on the Rhinos!!! :)up Title: Re: Wigan can they keep the run going (Rugby League) Post by: Acidmouse on October 05, 2007, 10:48:13 PM Aye was good game, hoping to go to final on crutches day after knee op :P come on you rhino'ssssssssssss.
