A lot of the miseries on the virtual terrace are moaning about today's game and saying it was the worst final ever. I disagree. Certainly Hulls ball handling was poor; not only were passes dropped, but many passes were at or above head height. Hulls completion rate was very poor. The ref didn't help by allowing such slow play the ball. But on the other hand each defence was effective, Hull kept Tomkins well policed, and Wigans defence never looked like conceding. I thought Wigan won most of the collisions. And for once I thought Wigan had a good kicking game, and a decent chase, which kept Hull pinned in their own half for long periods. Quite frankly I was on the edge of my seat until the last score. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I think the negative comments came from people unable to appreciate a really tight game. Realy pleased for Mr Wane and very glad I went to the game.

I thought Wigan played a very smart and tactically astute game. From a Wigan fan's perspective, why should we even remotely care whether it was a good spectacle or not? 19 times winners.

Agreed, not pretty, but awful conditions dictated. There was some excellent positional kicking today.

Exactly!

A bad game? I don't think so! It was cracking as a Wigan fan. If other teams fans didn't enjoy it that's no concern of ours.

Sorry - it was awful to watch from a neutral POV. Close it may have been but that was because hull çouldnt hold the ball and Wigan appeared unable to be creative despite all the possession and field position they had. It was a terrible advert for rugby league- not helped by the commentating. Conditions can't completely excuse it.
Of course Wigan fans wouldn't see it that way- neither would I expect them to as its a completely different kettle of fish when your own team is involved and you have something at stake.But it won't encourage any first timers to watch again- that should concern all league fans

can't believe anybody plays rugby union if people only play it based on the performance of professional teams... give over todays game showed brutal hits and good defense, if passing, running and making breaks was all that counts everybody would play touch.

I actually remember thinking after 25 minutes it was a very good quality game given the conditions with great completion rates and intelligent kicking.

From then on Hull's handling went to pot for some reason but again that's no concern of ours.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

Considering the conditions it was a good,tough game, yes the handling wasn't brilliant especially from Hull , but both defences were superb,and the result was never secure until about 10 mins to go..Thought Bentham reffed it really well .Charnleys chase back to deny the try was the game breaker ,Matty smith,Lockers and Taylor were our three stand out players..We've won the cup and thats all that matters..i have never been a fan of Shaun Wane , but i have to congratulation him today and say that he got it spot on

Congratulations to Wigan and their fans today.

In terms of celebrating mediocrity, you've all managed to out-do Leeds and all that regular season tripe they serve up prior to winning SL titles from 5th.

Worst. Final. Ever.
