Could you perhaps suggest any recent relevant examples that may help the Wigan fans in understanding the concept?

I can think of one.

I don't think its the same sort of choking that you're thinking of though.

My example involves a rope.

i think of choking when i think of the classic linda lovelace film( being re-made by the way)

I think I still have the t shirt tad

Something like this you mean?

Wasn't a choke by Leeds yesterday.

However, had they lost, it would have been comparable to Devon Loch.

1950's race horse reference???

Perfect example. Also a good way to show that Wigan are better than we are. When they choke, they do it properly and lose the game. We aren't at that level yet.
