The other difference I feel is as Peet alluded to last night. We rarely get outworked. The games we have lost this season have been by 2 points apart from the Castleford one when we played the Academy.

Wigan have been well beaten by Leeds and Catalans and lost by 10 points or so to Hudds, Hull and Saints.

Thanks for the ref,but you see as CC holders we have still won more than you lot this season.
Now I will state this clearly for the hard of understanding who ever wins the Grand Final are the best team this season.
You have won jack this year we have won the only trophy on offer what is not to understand.

You can lose by 2 points or 60 it is still a loss.
And yes Wigan got mullered by Leeds and deserved to lose,I am ok with that we re-group and move on.
If, this is the question-Wigan win the Grand final (got to get there) will we have closed the gap or do we have to win the thing 3 years on the trot to do that ?

If you win the GF then clearly you will be the better team this season. You’ll have done the double so it would be hard to say otherwise.

However answer this- when Warrington beat us in the CC Final in 2019 where they a better team than us from Aug- Oct until we won the GF?

Why is this thread even a thing. Jesus, glorified dick measuring contest

Question back to you-who won the CC 2019 , then yes they were the better team as they had won the only trophy ironically against you,so who were the better team at that point Wire or your good self ?
When you won the final you did indeed become the best team that season.

poor that one Stu,as you questioned me about being sarcastic before of which i wasnt.

I won't say too much on last night's game as I am sure you don't want or need my thoughts but it has to be said what a class act Matty Peet is in defeat yet again. I immediately warmed to him after his post-match interview on Good Friday and again at Magic. Last night too he was calm and measured in his answers and was full of praise for the opposition, making no excuses. Can't help but like the bloke to be fair.

We got mullered YG,hopefully learn from that and move.
And yes we do like Peet for his honesty and that he has brought a smile to the Wigan fans and others from the sound of it.

Peet out, we need to bring Wellens in asap

Looks like it’s pretty much 1-1 on that trophy front now, glad we closed the gap between us who’ve been champions for well over 1,000 days and the team that beat us once that were so far above us!

Thanks for that

Can you please translate that? I take it that English wasn’t your strongest subject at school?

There was nothing wrong with the English, however I can take more rudimentary steps to explain it for you if needed.

With the results over the weekend (you losing to Leeds and us beating Wakefield), that gives us a 6 point cushion at the top of the league. With that plus the fact that we don’t have the most difficult run-in, I’m insinuating that the league leaders shield is now all but wrapped up. That makes it 1-1 on the trophy front for our respective teams this year.

Now, the logic of some in this thread dictates that winning a trophy is the only true measurement of who the better team is, regardless of any other circumstances. Thus, we apparently had a gap to close in order to call ourselves as good a team as Wigan. I’m pointing out that this gap is now closed, and thank god.

I was then pointing fun at the logic in the first place, as saying there is a gap between us, who have been champions for over 1,000 days now, and you, who beat us in one knock-out game just because you lifted the CC is fairly laughable. It was tongue-in-cheek, if you will.
