Best side won. Terrific second half performance from Wigan. Great game for the neutral

Very happy with that result and performance, great to get back to winning ways at Old Trafford once more.

Sad to see the departure of Josh though, still it was a good way for him to leave the club.

It will be different not seeing the pair of them together, but ultimately I think it is for the best really, as he was getting just a bit stale.

Needs to take the rest of the pie eating buffoons with him

At least our council tax might not rise too much next year then it's Wigan

Should have gone years ago. I don't know one rugby league fan who likes him. He's been a joke for years. Earlier this season whilst he was off after his op, Terry and Barry deputised and it was infinitely better

Poor Warrington. IAYY, lads!

Wigan surprised me. Their play was relatively clean. They had a basic game plan, which played to their strengths. Warrington seemed scared to try anything.

Steve hates Wigan. Eddie and Stevo are so anti Wigan its ridiculous. Still though, it won't be the same without.


Great Win in the grand final, surely with the season Wigan have had with all the injures and some poor results yet still finishing 2nd in the table and winning the GF this shows that Shaun Wane is the best coach in Super League. 4 finals in a row winning 2 that's impressive!

The France v England international from Avignon on Saturday will be live on the BBC Red Button at 17:15, ko at 17:30.

And then for the 4 Nations, Premier Sports has the two minor games (ie NZL & AUS v Scotland), but the England games and NZL-AUS are all on the BBC.

Quick reminder

France V England from 5.30 tonight on red button

I do find it odd that England have a selection of players who played in the qualifiers yet the Man of Steel is watching it at home.
