Quote: Horatio Yed "To the fans yes, to the players and coach not so much, Tony thought he'd win this resting players,some needed the rest others he didn't want on the (i)njury pitch, they didn't step up, seem to recall you doing the same thing.

If every team played to their absolute peak, not one player having an off game, no errors or anything, no one could live with Warrington and Wigan, currently head and shoulders above anyone, now yes we all have days off but Widnes were never going to test you, come on, don't lie to yourself just so you can feel morally superior.'"


I know using facts seems to get you a bit riled but Wigan have only won one game out of five all season again the rest of the top four so I wouldn't put Wigan head and shoulders above a number of teams, especially not given the fact no team ever plays to their absolute peak. Any team has a puncher's chance in a one-off game.

Quote: Horatio Yed "Don't kid yourself that you weren't jumping round the room when you drew London either, and yes Hull are capable of a big performance, we bring our A game and we win, certainly no walk over. '"


Funnily enough I wasn't jumping around the room, but was pleased when we drew London, just as everyone else would given they are the weakest team left.

Quote: Horatio Yed "Are having a grown up conversation or co you just want to look good in front of your mates?'"


You're going to have to explain that one, it makes no sense to this grown up.

Quote: Horatio Yed "Hull beat us, they beat us because they had a superior game plan, we didn't play too bad but they had their tactics spot on. Tell me now many Hull players could potentially or actually make the England squad, then tell me his many London or Widnes players could. That shows they have quality, they'll out number us 2-1 in a neutral stadium and want it, going on percentages then instead if 50/50 lets say 55/45 Wire, happy?'"


Well the bookies seem to disagree. Latest odds to win the cup.

Wire 13/10
Hull 8/1

Wigan 4/5 London 50/1

Has any semi-finalist ever been at such high odds to win the CC?

Probably Toulouse and Hull KR in the last 10 years.

Toulouse probably around 66/1 but I doubt Hull K R were more than 50/1.

Those odds aren't generous, it equates to around 6/1 to beat both us and you. I would double those odds making them around 170/1 to lift the cup.

What a plank.

You've read most of the posts but not all.

Most people don't know our fans. (60 million in the UK, 16,000 Wigan average crowd).

The people you worked with were all Wigan fans? You couldn't understand them which made them arrogant! I think you should look in a mirror, then you would see an arrogant person.

Perhaps by dismissing Hull and London Broncos so easily you are beyond arrogant.

It's a cup game. If we don't perform on the day we get beat.

The irony of that quote is off the scale.

Come back when you've resat your first grade English.

So we're arrogant for thinking we should beat London yet you can claim Wire will beat Hull and then have more big game experience and beat Wigan and not be arrogant?

I love Wire fans. You never fail to remind me that no matter how big a poop hole Wigan might be.....it could be worse.
