It'd be churlish to not offer congratulations to our rivals, after all we'd hope they'd offer congratulations to us if we were in their position. You can only beat what's in front of you, so hats off to Wigan and well done.

It only makes me more eager for Saints to bring silverware to Langtree Park so we can enjoy it as much as our rivals! Let them celebrate, they've earned the right.

I know it's hard to give respect, even grudgingly, but there's no need for disrepect.

I'll call him what I like but I'm not showing Wigan lack of respect, I'm actually giving Wigan and the Ape a compliment.

If you think this current Wigan team is as good as other double winning teams then your deluded. IMO, it's the worst team on paper to win the grand final.

Wigan showed great heart, never give up attitude, pride in the shirt, hard work and the will to win. They are well drilled team with IMO one works class player in Tomkins.

Indeed, you get what you deserve in this game and Wigan have the earned the right to become champions. It's upto us and everyone else to catch them.

Roll on next season.

There will be some interesting developments in the next week or so with Wigan and Saints fighting on the same side.

It's about the proposed league structures, nothing we don't already know.

There's also been a lot of fuss over the cash prizes for the GF with clubs saying it's not enough.

Sounds as though Lenegan is leading an effective revolt of SL clubs over the RFL's failure to provide sponsorship or satisfactory coverage for the game. Could potentially scupper the proposed restructure. This is from Chris Irvine on Twitter.
