"When the pressure has been on they've failed to win any of their last five 'big' games. The World Club Challenge in Sydney, the Challenge Cup match with Castleford and the Grand Final of 2014 were all lost, as were the World Series game with Brisbane this year and the Challenge Cup game against Hull KR. They've been unable to balance their actions with their emotions. If they don't win this match they could be labelled as 'chokers'." - Phil Clark prior to Grand Final.

Are Wigan chokers?

So cup games are big games but knockout play offs aren't? Surely the play off semis against Warrington ('14) and Huddersfield ('15) were big games we won.

Leeds were the ultimate Challenge Cup Final chokers until 2014. It's never wise to label anyone a choker. All wheels turn.

Leeds were underdogs in every CC final during that time bar 2005. In those games Clarke mentions, wigan have been favourites in all but the WCC.

Okay, that changes everything.

Leeds never choked when they lost six Cup Finals in a row, but Wigan did when they lost two.
