Quite true, although Strange things can happen, and lady luck just might be there too. Here's hoping though.
TBH- I wouldn't mind a Wires v Leopards final.

IF - and it's a big IF - we do make it to the GF, and if Wigan are the opposition it all comes down to 'mentality'.
In fact Wigan v anyone in a GF (except maybe the Saints team of a couple of years ago, or the 'golden era' Leeds team) and they start as favourites because of their proven pedigree, culture and mental strength.
We underperformed in the CCF and the guys know it. Wire 'lost' the mental battle pre game.
The big question now is 'have we really learnt?'
Time will tell, but anyone is a fool who writes HKR off. They are one hell of a good side and we'll need a repeat performance plus some to win at their place before thinking of the GF.
And that's not to mention Leigh (abeit with some significant injuries now).

A lot of Saints being proud of their ‘spirited effort’ and deserving of their ovation at the end and some of our fans (harshly) being a little critical of our win is quite a seismic shift in attitude.

Why did Liam Moore take so long to blow the whistle after the drop goal

I'm not sure you are right. It is an attractive & popular idea that we just have to have our heads right & we'll win ... but I'm not so sure. We lacked a bit of power vs. Saints & also when we last played HKR. With Wigan it is power & skill.
I believe our mental strength has been great but I think we lack the raw power when both top sides are on their "A" game. Hopefully wrong, of course.

We got over the line and won the first play off battle, that's the main thing. The performance in that game isn't that relevant, as we progress to the semi-finals, in which we can hope that our performance improves against HKR. I think most will agree that we will need to be at a higher level than we were against Saints, but that may not be necessarily so, as it's all on the day for both us and HKR.

I understand where you're coming from and you could be right.
It's rarely just 'one' thing, but specifically for Wigan if I had to chose one thing it would be the mental side - and the lead up to the game is so important.

Skill and power wise - well we won't be doing much this week that's for sure. I don't think we can influence that too much

My guess is (and I am just making this up so please be gentle!!) -
Sunday - rehab
Monday - off
Tuesday - video analysis (both Saints match and the HKR ones) and a light session
Wednesday - drills and some contact, fixing anything that needs fixing
Thursday - HKR specific things
Friday - captains run and match

He probably didn’t know he’d kicked it until this morning. He’s absolutely useless, Moore.

A bit harsh. He clearly knew Williams had kicked it, he was just desperate to find absolutely any reason to disallow it. Takes time to think of such things. Thankfully he couldn’t quite find anything to use against us.

Does anyone know how I can watch the full match online but from Skys coverage? I’d like to see the post match interviews etc as I know they interview Sam. BBC’s post match coverage was crap.

And yes I have tried ringing the club shop but they were closed.
