leeds away record is shocking. hope they finish fourth if they get in the top four.

If only we won those grand finals in 2000,2001 and 2003. Ill always say I do not know how we lost that final in 2000, we where hammering everyone all season under Frank. 2001, we ran into an awesome bradford team and withers ripped us apart. And 2003, It was just a game to far for us after that epic win at leeds. Think Pryce injuring Carney may of had something to do with it aswell.



What entertainment we've had in the playoffs though. Some of the away games we've had over the last few years have been incredible, winning at bradford 31-30, holding on at Hull. And anyone who was in france to witness us destroy catalans will realise what a day that was!

Our home record is very impressive.



Considering we've only had 1 playoff game at the DW/JJB in the last 5 seasons, it shows how hard we were to beat when we finished high in the league.

With that play-off record I see no reason why we can't make the GF with 2 home games.

because you always get beat in the final eliminator

And how many final eliminators has your club been involved in?

Away from home. We might get it at home this year with that all important week off ahead of that. Massive difference.

You have only ever won 1 play-off game





They are usually close but this year we put ourselves in a much better position and will hopefully play it at home.

i'd swap going out in the final elimanator for winning the CC at wembley...dont get out for not winning it do you

Ok play that card again as usual, you don't have anything else in your deck.



The point is Wigan are clearly much more succesful than most teams in the play-offs showing that we peak at the correct time.



Our success has been poor during the super league era compared to what we were used to and yet wire fans would dream of the success we have had since 1998 even though we are so called "not famous anymore".



You are a poor troll, BUT I do like your name.

I can understand why that's your view, and why last year's Cup Final started you watching Wire.



We on the other hand have won the Challenge Cup at Wembley loads of times. So though it's always great fun, it's not the biggest game in town for us.



In any case, the play-offs are far more demanding of a team. They really sort the wheat from the chaff.
