Sun 15th Oct: Wheelchair Super League Grand Final: Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors KO 17:30 (Sky)

[League Express]

Discuss the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final: Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors here.

[R L Winger]

Wigan Warriors By 12 Points

[gogledd]

It would be nice to see a Wigan win. I've known a lot of the Wigan Warriors from way back when they were Leyland. I've a lot of good friends in both teams but I'd like Wigan to win for their player coach Phil.

 

PS - If you've not watch it yet, get on BBC i-Player and watch Storyville: Made of Steel

I should add to my post above - that support for Wigan only goes for the Wheelchair Super League Grand Final. My team, North Wales Crusaders play Wigan 'A' in the Wheelchair Championship Grand Final so I'll be filly behind North Wales Crusaders!

Bloody hell what a try that was by Wigan.

[dkw]

And then an outstanding reply by Leeds. 

[Odsal Outlaw]

Forgot this was on and just saw a clip on instagram so turned on second half!

The pitch is confusing and hurting my eyes a bit

[dkw]

What a game, 42 all with 5 to go...

As I type Wigan kick the conversion to lead by 2. 

[EagleEyePie]

This game has been tremendous. Some fantastic skill on show. Huge efforts from both sides. Leeds for the fightback and now Wigan to go from looking like there was nothing left in the tank to 8 points ahead.

Fantastic game, terrific entertainment. Expected nothing less. 

[Yorks Tim]

Superb game to end the weekend's entertainment. Thought Wigan had blown it. 

[WN83]

It’s an unbelievable sport. Massively entertaining! What a great result for Wigan and what a weekend. 

[Padge]

Had to watch delayed so have only just got around to commenting.

Fantastic game, Wigan looked to have it in the bag but Leeds came back brilliantly through Collins, who actually was also a problem with his kicking. Wigan were on the rack and then just found energy from who knows where at the end to clinch it.

What a game, almost a stunning comeback from Leeds, those missed kicks were crucial in the end.

Great effort by every player though, what a spectacle, can't wait for the international match.

Once more, Congratulations Wigan.

[Ullman]

Absolutely brilliant game to watch. The strong finish by Leeds looked as if it would be enough but Wigan found something in those last few minutes.

Great stuff!

[Richard de la Riviere]

Unbelievable stuff. Nathan Collins is just sensational. Declan Roberts is similarly skilled but also showed superb game management. He’s also interviewed along with his dad in my new Wigan book

Nice plug,

Cracking final. A shame England are only playing France once!

[Whippet13]

Great game, just watched recording, Wigan really dug deep at the end there.

Also, congratulations to Crusaders for winning the Championship, another thrilling game.

Next up the French in 3 weeks, hope that gets another big crowd, I'll be going.

[Tommygilf]

Fantastic game, really pumped my enthusiasm for the France game will be looking at tickets.

Would have loved a 3 test series in that too, 1 each then a decider would have been superb entertainment, hopefully though that'll happen in the futurebut this is a start.

A shame that the RFL seem to have a news embargo on the Championship Grand Final. Not a jot on their website anyway! North Wales Crusaders were 22 - 8 down at half-time but an incredible comeback in the second half saw them beat Wigan 'A' 46 -40 and become Championship Champions! Crusader also lifted the League Leaders Shield earlier in the season ans Sundays win completed their 100% record for the season!

However, the RFL in their wisdom have decided Crusaders will NOT be promoted to Super League, despite some very heavy score lines in their favour. Apparently our team have been told SL is 'invitation only'. I'm hoping that decision can be overturned.
