Best of luck to the Latics from me. The rivalry between the sides seems to have died down in the last few years, which will only be a good thing for both clubs

our very own Richard Silverwood 'wigan/leeds andy' is reaching for his pocket as we speak.... will it be red or yellow??
A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.

as a Liverpool fan with Manchester city fans in my family and a Warriors fan with a long memory (widnesgate), i hope they get smashed, followed closely by relegation
What you have to do is put the shoe on the other foot.
Latics fans want the rugby team to fail miserably and always will. They would never wish us luck for anything and the council would never go to such lengths with us as they have with Latics.

'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.' Shaun Wane's post-Grand Final speech. 5th October 2013.
I dearly hope for the 2000 Springfield Park loyal that they win on Saturday. Yet for the ex Utd, Liverpool, Everton chameleon tic fans I wish nothing but misery come Saturday evening. Same goes for their relegation battle. See a foot in both camps me eh.....
When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09

Hope they get thumped and relegated too tbh. Just returning the favour for their fans behaviour whenever Wigan RL have a big game.

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
