Well that's the lot. League Leaders Grand Final World Club Challenge Challenge Cup
All in Wigan. An incredible achievement.
Finals are all about winning. We never looked like losing that. I think Peet was spot on again to name 3 props on the bench. Our big edge over teams at the minute is our pack. Non stop for 80 minutes. There's no drop off when there's a substitution and it eventually tells and then Field/French/Smith and co find a way to open a tired defense. Props win pots and ours are the best in the League and we have the best depth in the league.
As fans we can easily get carried away and I'm possibly in that moment when I say this but Matty Peet could very well go down as our most successful coach in our history if we carry on at this rate. There's little to suggest we won't be seeing us in more finals picking up more trophies over the next few years.

Dominant performance that I wasn’t expecting. Wire were flattered by the final score I thought. I missed my first final since 1990 today because I’m on holiday in Turkey. Enjoying it but not in the same way you do when you’re there.
1. The grind - although Dufty scored, Warrington had nothing left to give and looked physically shot. We are just horrible to play against with the intensity we seem to maintain in game.
2. Eckersley - important we have the pathway into the team that Peet talks about and I’m glad he didn’t shove a second row in as he would’ve done in the past. Didn’t seem in any trouble at all and will hopefully go on to be a mainstay down the line.
3. Smith AND French - cemented themselves as the best pairing in the game over here now they’ve done it in the big games so consistently.
4. Miski and Marshall - Can’t wait to see their stats, they took us upfield more than I think I’ve ever seen them do and gave us the platform for Smith to control the game.
5. Thompson - The Rolls Royce of props we hoped we’d signed. Special mention to Cooper, that run in the second half carrying Warrington players on his back was some effort. I don’t think Hill offers that impact through the line yet.
I don’t think we’ll ever look back on it as a classic but it’s got a special place in history with us having all of the trophies in our possession. Hope everyone enjoys their night wherever they are.
As said, we never looked like losing. Great effort from the pack. and Marshy had to be close to MotM for a great effort. We have a side to be proud of.
