Wigan Warriors vs Warrington Wolves,

Next Saturday 13th October 2016 18:00 BST.

2nd vs 4th in terms of league placings. Wigan have the pedigree and momentum from the Super 8's, Warrington have a punchers chance I guess.

Always an entertaining night and worth a watch.

It was a bit dull wasn’t it? Glad the Bronco’s won - may venture up for a game or two next season. Also, good to see the brakes being applied to the Wolfpack juggernaut, although they’ll proabably go up as a better team next season.

Wigan for the Super League Final For the same reasons that JP pointed out.

Very Happy that the Broncos won :thup: - was a war of Attrition, but the defensive performance was amazing - Need to strengthen massively though to avoid finishing bottom next year.

Wigan won, Warrington lost the big one again, feel slightly sorry for their fans, two finals this year, both lost!

London back in the SuperLeague!!
Get in!!
:scarfer:

I'm no fan of Wigan but all credit to them for their GF win, and for Manfredi's performance after his lengthy, and serious injury absence.
Some of the RL boys would put many a footballer to shame with the way they can stand up to real physical punishment.

Great domestic season, looking forward to the international series against NZ, who will no doubt be buoyed up by a recent win over the Aussies and to 2019!!

About the only player I recall coming close in terms of toughness was Stuart Pearce trying to run off a broken leg while playing for us!
