Wigan Warriors head coach Shaun Wane says his side are determined to avoid a third consecutive Grand Final defeat when they take on Warrington Wolves on Saturday. Wanes side will be competing in the showpiece event at Old Trafford for the fourth straight year after defeating Hull FC 28-18 on Friday.But the last two seasons have ended with painful defeats to St Helens and Leeds Rhinos and Wigan have not lifted the trophy since defeating Warrington 30-16 in 2013. Wane told Sky Sports News HQ: All my players are pumped. They are all ready. We will train well this week. We had a great win last Friday and hopefully we can another one this Saturday.It is our fourth time here and we have only got one ring. There is only one way to go out of here and that is with the cup on the front seat of your coach. Tony Smith has stressed the importance of composure as his Warrington side gets set to face Wigan in the Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford It is a big one for us. I know it is a big challenge. Warrington are a very, very well-coached team with some very good athletes but we are finding a way to win at the moment.We have got a great spirit within the club and the lads are ready for a big game.Wigan head into the game with at least five first-team players with Sam Tomkins, Dominic Manfredi, Tony Clubb, Joel Tomkins and Michael McIlorum all sidelined through injury. Wigans Sam Tomkins. Despite the extensive injury list, Wane remains confident his depleted squad have what it takes to beat Warrington and the lifelong Manchester United fan cannot wait to lead his team out at Old Trafford for a fourth straight year.It is the best feeling in the world, Wane said. There is no feeling like it. It is why you coach. I want to pit my team against a team as good as Warrington and a coach as good as Tony and say we have won.

The best deal Ive ever done was the Darryl Sydor deal. We did that at the end of January in 04, and Syd was the missing piece.GLENDALE, Ariz. - In the silence of the locker room, Byron Maxwell was already addressing the most important challenge Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks will face going forward.One play on Sunday night changed the story for the Seattle Seahawks.Instead of becoming the first repeat champions in a decade and having the chance to be the next NFL dynasty, the question now is whether the Seahawks can avoid becoming a fractured team because of what happened.Like I said earlier, we have to stick together, Maxwell said. Thats the most important thing right now.The fallout from Seattles 28-24 loss is only beginning and the game will be debated until the 2015 regular season begins. Facing second-and-goal at the New England 1 with less than 30 seconds remaining, the Seahawks opted for a slant pass from Russell Wilson to Ricardo Lockette, which was intercepted by Malcolm Butler, instead of handing off to Marshawn Lynch.It was a puzzling decision to call for a pass play in the situation. In the immediate aftermath, it was already being considered one of the worst play calls in Super Bowl history. Some Seahawks players were openly questioning why the ball wasnt handed to Lynch.And thats what Carroll will have to confront, to make certain what happened does not shatter what the Seahawks have built.They will still be young and fiery and talented when next season begins. But theyll also have this game hanging over them.Im not sure it does much to our legacy, cornerback Richard Sherman said. I think weve got a bunch of fourth- and fifth-year guys and well have a chance to, through Gods grace, get back here and have another chance at it.Seattle was on the cusp of pulling out one of the great Super Bowl victories. They were resilient in the first half, capped by their 31-second touchdown drive at the end of the first half to pull even at 14-14.They dominated the third quarter wwhile building a 10-point lead.dddddddddddd. And even after watching Tom Brady pick apart Seattles defence in the fourth quarter and rally for two touchdowns, Wilson led one final drive to put the Seahawks on the doorstep of an amazing rally, including Jermaine Kearses remarkable juggling catch that is now an afterthought.It was everything Carroll has tried to build in Seattle, a team that, as Bill Belichick said earlier in the week, will play for 60 minutes.It was us. It felt like it was meant to be after Kearse caught that ball, Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. It was like it was meant to be and we couldnt finish it.Theres no reason to think Seattle cant put itself in position to be playing for another championship next season due to the continuity of its defence. Most of the important pieces are locked up at least through the 2016 season, including three members of the Legion of Boom secondary: Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril and K.J. Wright are also taken care of long-term. Bobby Wagner will be in line for an extension this off-season as well.Aside from trying to shake the sting of what happened, who the Seahawks want to be going forward will be defined. Wilson will get paid this off-season, likely with one of the largest contracts ever for a quarterback.But what does Seattle do with Lynch? He was the hottest name of the Super Bowl for his antics and remains one of the most respected players in the locker room. Hell be 29 when next season starts with a history of a balky back and a cap hit of $8.5 million for the final year of his deal.Its a similar situation to last year, Carroll said. Everybody has difficult decisions you have to make this time of year. Theyll come up in time. How well make it back is one day at a time. One day at a time.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
