It's here boys and girls, it's finally happened, let's both take our A games and make this a game that lives in folklore.

Don't really care who wins next week....just put on a good show!!

A rare chance to sit back and watch a Grand Final without the emotional baggage of watching my team.

See you all next year

Well done Wigan tonight. You deserved the win but still proud of Leeds tonight. We never gave in but Wigan just edged it tonight.
Should be a great final, may the best team Win!!

If someone had offered me a Challenge Cup win and a grand final appearance before the season kicked off i would have taken it.This has been a great season for Wigan , whatever happens next week we can look back and feel proud of what the team has achieved

So proud of the lads tonight.... Come on Wigan!! Old Trafford here we come!!

Well done Wigan will be routing for you next week. Supporting the the club that brings through the system rather than the club that opens its cheque book.

Ask yourself who spent the least money this season and the only team that didn't sign anyone and the team that made the most profit after all the overheads are taken care of.

And so it begins.

I've read it on these forums from Warrington fans for a couple of seasons now. Why is this 'the final that everybody wants?'. I can only think that it's the chance of the smaller club to finally get one over of the big club.

Really, I can only see a Warrington win. More investment in the squad, ability to keep hold of their better players etc

Weather is looking fab for the 5th

Because we entertain, we have produced between us possibly 8 of the top 20 best games of the last few years, league wise easily the two most consistent and bar one final of the GF and CC of recent years one of us has contested it.

Leeds fan aren't you Norton, NEWS FLASH your season has ended today, sup your bitter and enjoy the grapes.

Game of the season this season was Wire v Wigan at the HJ. The year before it was Wigan 20-22 Wire at the DW. And that's not including the Wigan 17-17 Wire blinder on the 2nd game of this season or the Wigan win at HJ a couple of years ago when Solomons thought he'd scored in last min!

Lets make it a great game and great day.

I'll be heading to the square outside Sinclair's oyster bar again. It was immense in 2010.

It was great lets hope the scum element who follow wire in the big games don't spoil the atmosphere (apologiss to the decent wire fans but you know what I mean )

that didn't take long...you leave your brick throwing scum at home as well eh.

Not a Wigan or Leeds fan but Wigan are far superior when it comes to development. Yes Wigan are paying Tomkins silly money but who wouldn't for talent like his but bet a lot of the other kids they have are on much smaller wages than most of your squad which you have scavenged elsewhere.

Really looking forward to this. Trying to think when the last time both of us
met each other in the final. I remember when you tonked us at the Mcalpine
in Hudds guessing 96. Should be a great game and great atmopshere.

Should be a great game. I think you are favourites but then so were Hudds v us in my opinion so I hope my predictions are as poor as ever.

Bit sensitive aren't you exile like I said apologies to the decent wire fans .......

Very excited!

How would you know this? The season isn't over, with a CC win, GF appearance/win, constantly high supporter numbers, world record transfer fee (potentially booked this year) and Hock out on loan - there's a good chance that it could be Wigan.

But, that being said, are the profits retained profits or are the directors at Warrington taking a nice dividend from the club? If the latter, it's good to see the money men getting the cash while ensuring that players have a salary cap to stop them getting more.

and that's our fault because we are the RFL who set the cap?

Money has nothing to do with it. For me Wigan have built a team round most of its surrounding local amateur clubs with a few dotted in to make the squad strong. Warrington mainly have picked the talent from other regions to get where they are.

And why does Wigan have so many amateur clubs, success breeds success as they say, IF Wigan hadn't have been the powerhouse they were then the popularity wouldn't have been so high. I wonder how many amateur clubs Wigan had in 1970 compared to 1995. I wonder how many kids were also on the books in all the clubs in 1970 compared to 1995?
