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!

Esse quam videri.

He is clueless. Davies talks sense and must be embarassed to sit next to him at times

Good. Dave Wood's is pretty decent but it's a shame French isn't retiring altogether. We need to revamp our image and as much as I like French for being a passionate fan of the game and commentating on it for what seems like forever it's not what I think we need to move forward.

I would have never said french was 70!! :shock: Thought he was well into his eighties.....always thought he was doing well tbh for his age, but considering hes only 70 hes pretty poor in terms of keeping up with the game and commenting.

I just hope Dave Woods is as well-informed about the amateur clubs that players are from as Ray is ...

Hallelujah!!! :D

70 years old? Ray French? I'm not having that! I thought he was in his 80's!

He reminds me of the drivelling old drunk barrister on the Fast Show.

He is so irritating and more one sided to saints than Phil Clarke is to Wigan.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS

Agree with that, thought he was well over 70!! By contrast, I think Stevo is still doing a grand job for a 62 year old, even if he does talk poop :wink:






23 - 20 - 4

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
