I couldn't make yesterday's game due to work but reading the threads it's clear that we had an off day and Hull pounced and tbh I think all us wire fans were always wary that Hull could beat us and so was the case
So now it's time to brush down , focus and win the remaining SL games , do this and we finish 2nd at least
We have a great chance of an Old Trafford appearance again , so lets not critique the guys on the field lets get behind them no matter what .I can assure you the players are hurting more than any fan .
Onwards and upwards you lot , a big job has still to be done ...........COTW !!!!

Tarts?
Teams?

Tails?
Tacks?
Takes?
Tales?
Talks?
Tanks?
Tapes?

You see the problem now?

Not being difficult but how do i know that we're all thinking of the same word?

That is exactly what Pie fans said about it when we won it. The unenlightened few who hold to that idea here just copied it off your lot.

If it was any of the above why on earth would the poster have used asterisks?

I know what you're saying, but if it's open to interpretation, how can you be sure? like i said i think i know what he means but think and know are two different words.

Eg Tw*t could be twit.

As far as i know i don't know any Wigan fans that don't value any of the 3 domestic pieces of silverware on offer. Personally. I think the Challenge Cup is the main one. The most prestigious. Followed by the LLS and then the Grand final - Which is only there for Sky's benefit. Not many folk over 40 think the Grand Final is worth anything. It's just Sky TV's trophy.

I don't buy into all this malarkey about getting knocked out of the cup making the play offs easier. In 2011 we went out in the CCQF, only to lose to Leeds in the play off preliminary final. Last year ourselves and Leeds contested both cup and league final.

Still lots of work to do and I certainly wouldn't be talking about relaxing or any such nonsense.

I'm with Ganson's optician on this. Come the final 4 in the playoffs without sounding too obvious it's 80 mins of knock out rugby. Now no team goes out to get beat but I can't see the difference in us getting beat by Widnes on Easter Monday to a Play off game. We and any other team can be beaten at any point. We need to be on top of our game and have a little bit of Lady Luck regarding the bounce of the ball, the 50-50 calls etc. I just hope we get back to winning ways on Sunday and we shake that defeat out of our heads.

That's my order of importence exactly as well. I have never allowed myself to be branwashed by Sky and have always called the Grand Final, The Mickey Mouse Cup since year 1 of Super League and will never change my mind on this. I am also slightly over forty and was a life member of the club before they took it off me when we moved to the HJ.

We've done quite well for an avaerage team.
2009 CC Winners.
2010 CC Winners.
2011 LLS Winners.
2012 CC Winners.

We've also beaten a so called superior team on a regular basis for the past 6-7 years. we can't be that bad.

You call me ill-mannered and then proceed to call me an imbecile, which makes you a hypocrite! Your contention that Warrington beat Wigan without too much trouble is at the least an exaggeration, and in relation to most recent games I contend is inaccurate. My references to Warrington being a well-coached but only an average side was, if you had read more post on these boards first before jumping to incorrect conclusions, you could have guessed that this was my tongue in cheek parody to what others had said about Wigan. You ask me to read the posts on here to see how much camaraderie and good will exists between supporters of Warrington and Hull, I have and though I’m sure some are sincerely meant, and are welcome, I would ask you to read a few more and see that quite a lot are not as you would call brotherly. To finish I think YOU should take your own ill-informed advice you gave me in the last lines of your post. (I have made one change to the lines for reasons of accuracy)

Both sides would have been "Up" obviously. Wire just looked a little off the pace, and Briers did not seem to get involved. Looking forward, should be a boost for your GF aspirations.
