part of me wishes you had a brain, however life would be dull then.

p.s your admission of trolling on cherry and white means you've broke the aup. genius

Wish you had been giving it out, I had a 20 quid free bet on him at 66/1.

What a dreadful match. One of the worst games that I've seen and it is a shame that it was the Challenge Cup final.

Both teams weren't great, but Hull couldn't get past tackle 2 on a lot of their sets and that said it all really and decided the game for Wigan. For their dominance, I'm not sure why they only had 6/8 points next to their name for the majority of the match? That should be a bit of a concern for Wigan in terms of the rest of the season, I think Wigan looked very beatable and I don't think Hull are going to get a better chance than they had today.

I'm not sure how they even came up with a MoM? Matty Smith got it for his kicking game, but apart from that he didn't do too much else.

hull did loads of defensive work and we was hammering them in the tackle as well i'm not surprised they was shot after the 60 minute, everybody seems to forget that wigan's key players have been out injured for large parts of the season and i don't doubt wanes taking the foot of the throttle till play off time.

Everybody hasn't forgotten anything. It's just that everybody (bar some Wigan fans) knows that isn't true.

Another game in wet conditions and another knockonathon. Same story, one common denominator.

I've said it before and ill say it again, it seems there are real problems in wet conditions with the current ball and the Grand Final, which should be the biggest and most exciting game of the season is sure to be another disappointment.

It must be true because wigan say it is On one of the other threads on Cherry and White that dim Mash Butty character is blaming the crap new balls on Saints, that must be true too.

Say what you want, and I’m not saying for one minute that it was a classic, it wasn’t, but be honest if you just changed the name from Wigan to St Helens on that game you’d be blaming the weather, the ball, recent injuries and the poor oppositions performance too, but when all’s said and done you too would just say “we don’t care, we won” and I couldn't blame you one bit.

This is a zero sum thread for saints fans. No matter the score or quality, the result is Wigan won and we were out long ago.

Your correct , as a Wigan fan a win is a win and you got a trophy for it. If it were Saints I'd be happy to just win the cup with a performance being a bonus. The thing is were not Wigan fans here so we wanted a good game to watch

There were some worrying signs though as a Wigan fan you should be a little concerned about , Pieman on Cherry and White mentioned it(being a bit one dimensional), even with the weather being so poor and the balls being problematic (which for me should just get fixed !!) the amount of possession Wigan had they should have been out of sight by half-time.

One of the most dour finals I have ever seen! the game was so slow, from play the ball's to scrums, and then the advantage play has become a farce, it again slows the game down.

Wigan just held on to the ball a little more, giving them more possession, the kicking in our game is making union look good these days, especially when it is on the third tackle? I thought Hull looked better with the ball, if they had not dropped it, at last they looked good passing.

The attendance was a farce, I presume they count into that figure the 17,500 Club Wembley Debenture Seats sold for every event at the stadium, take them off the figure the whole middle tier was virtually empty, I would say looking around the stadium more 63,000!

Not a great day for the game, it has been billed up that much.
