From a hull fan well done on the win you played the conditions far better than we did and your big games players didn't panic unlike most of are younger players and players who have less big game experience. Josh charndleys (excuse spelling) chase back really was the game breaker if we had scored think we may of calmed down not panicked and would of been a very exciting finish.

But there was no way this games was going to be a blow out and talk of putting 80 points would never of happened as we many be poor in attack are defence has been fantastic all hear.

Well done hope you all celebrate well all week including your players cos could do with you being hungover on Friday need the 2 league points.

I usually enjoy everything about the beeb's RL coverage except Robbie Paul. However, there was a lot not to like on Saturday's coverage. Millward needs putting out to grass, the sound engineer needs sacking, whoever came up with the 'leaving the pitch interview' concept needs shooting, and the VR mic needs losing down the back of the sofa.

On the plus side, Chappers, Arnold, Wilkin, Noble, and even "Jiffy" imo make a strong and very competent team. I'd love to see them joined by the likes of Crabtree who has proven he's comfortable and savvy in front of the camera.

Come on guys yesterdays final was very poor,was it the worst ever? possibly
But we won a trophy and that is all that matters


Lets hope we play as bad and win on Oct 5th too

I agree. Not only that but mistakes made by Hull (who obviously made more than us) were not all down to them being poor and just dropping the ball. It was chucking it down to the obvious tactic was to stick up a few bombs and Smith's kick along the ground to the in-goal which brought a knock on wasn't poor play because Hull fumbled it, it was good play by Smith. It was what he was trying to achieve! Fans were clapping the kick not thinking "Oh dear, Hull dropped it we must have a poor final here".

The final was one of the worst games of RL I have ever seen, never mind the worst CC Final. Very poor indeed.

Not been to many games then have you M

The weather was terrible on the pitch. The players were not used to it. The weather dictated the game.

Which bit of this don't you get?

The point I was trying to make was that even 15000 in the HJ would create more atmosphere on TV than Wembley managed with 78000.

Five hundred people singing in an auditorium would create more atmosphere on TV than the HJ would manage with 15,000.

How silly would you like this to go?

Yes the game was awful and it was the worst final I have seen but it is hardly Wigan's fault. They played the perfect gameplan to win in those conditions and that is what they had to do.

A lot of factors combined to produce that final, the weather was truely dreadful, the Hull team were dreadful and I have never seen as few neutral fans at a Challenge Cup final before. This all combined to make for a poor final and flat atmosphere imo.

Well done Wigan . Best team won on the day hope you all enjoy your victory and good luck for the rest of the season
