| Quote Thelonius="Thelonius"So to get this straight. With both sides at full strength Warrington scored 3 tries whereas, through a combination of their own ineptitude and Warringtons defence, Wigan scored none. Wigan only started to actually put the ball down (you get no points for missed chances) after Warrington started to pick up injuries, but injuries didn't affect who actually lifted the trophy? Yes there were always going to be points in that Wigan side, but a fit Wire team would always have plenty of points in them too.
IMO, which is just as valid but equally just as worthless as anyone else's, we would have won comfortably had we kept a fit 17 players throughout the 80 minutes. We didn't, we lost, and Wigan ran out worthy winners. But to say it is simply down to Wigan's class, desire, commitment, etc. is naïve in the extreme.
All chip paper now. Another 12 months (minimum) of being reminded that it's "always our year" (apparently). But I can't wait for it all to start again.
C'mon the Wire.'"

Your attitude stinks - You accuse the fellow of winding people up, yet just come back with argumentative nonsense yourself.
To be fair to most of the Wiganers on this thread, they have been quite objective in their views - Of course, they will slant towards their own side, similar to how we will slant towards ours, but at least they don't resort to childish abuse in the manner you just have.

Why was it nothing like last year?
because the score line was different, there was some injuries and bigger score swings?
The fundementals is what i'm talking about. The same fundemental fails from last year occured this year. Wire get in front, then keep gifting the opposition field position until they take advantage. Then once in front, the opposition do what warrington should have done and don't give them a sniff of getting back into the game. No mistakes, completed sets, good kicks, no penalties...'thou shalt not have field position to score'.
I wish we had some form of alternate reality calculator. Because I honestly believe without the warrington injuries, wigan would have still won. I just think once warrington went 16-2 up they mentally switched off, and that is fatal in a game of that magnitude.
The injuries simply give warrington a convenient excuse.

But, unfortunately for your argument, the injuries are a valid excuse - Of course, we have to deal with it hypothetically, but I just cannot imagine that a Wire side, without the injuries, would have managed to perform so badly as they did in that second half.... Wigan may well have still come out on top, but I'm pretty sure that Wire would have put up more resistance and given more threat in attack, than what transpired on the night - With that in mind, you then have to assume that Wigan would not have performed as well as they did?
As most of us agree, there are too many ifs and buts to ever get a definitive answer to this argument, and unfortunately for us Wire fans, we have to accept it just wasn't our day and Wigan got their reward for their efforts - In years to come, the record books will just show the result and that is all that matters, but to suggest Wire somehow bottled it (as you seem keen to infer), is a little insulting to them, and to Wigan.

That's your opinion, offensively expressed, but you are entitled to it, even if wrong. Lockers was a long way from full fitness and still played a massive part in the game. I can understand that people may have their own favourites who they may mistakenly think are better than Lockers, but to say it's gaga to think Lockers is now the best in SL is ridiculous. Even the most rabid Wigan hater must admit that Lockers is one of only a very small number of world class players in SL.

I tend to agree, I thought, other than a 10 min gap where Warrington scored Wigan were dominant. In the second half Wigan were definitely ahead before injuries, yes the injuries helped tip the balance in Wigan's favour but then a halfback with one eye helped Warrington. Even at 16-2 I thought wigan were going to come back and win.

Didn't Lima and Finch both state that Lockers is the best player they have every played the game with? I'm pretty sure they have played with some good 'uns.

I like Sean O'Loughlin and think he's a very good player. It's your continuous sickening adulation on this board that I object to. It's the sort of adulation that little girls have for their favourite boy band. Don't you think you may have gone a bit over the top? Go somewhere else and tell the world of your great love for "Lockers". It's not really relevant here.
