If Wigan & hull played the best Cc ever in 85. Is this the worst.

It's probably the worst cc completion ever and the final just confirms what what a dead duck of a comp it is nowadays.
Long live the grand final

It is pretty naff isnt it, if we are unable to complete a set because it is raining, god help us against the Aussies and Kiwi's

Hull = clueless

Played in front of a big pile of empty seats. It's been a poor day all round.

Yes awful, hull can't do basics right and their attack is pitiful. Wigan have been average, with all the ball they've had they should be all out of sight. The weather doesn't help but I have seen plenty of superb games in the rain.

Poor all round!

It has been awful. I don't think that means it's a dead duck of a competition though. I think most Leeds players will be gutted that they never managed to add a CC winners medal to their collections of SL rings.

CC Finals were rubbish and far worse during the pre-SL era when hardly anyone turned up to watch them.

Was suppose to be the final that showed the orld and the country that rugby league is a great sport, its had the opposite effect in my eyes.

Just because its been poor game doesn't mean the game is doomed btw. I can remember many football finals being total garbage...

It was never going to be high on skill with the rain. But the amount of dropped ball from Hull has ruined it. After 40 minutes it just takes away any expectation of Hull getting anywhere with ball in hand.

For me it was there for Hull to win as Wigan have hardly been cutting edge either. But it happens. Great defense on show, but that's not what most people want to see.

I don't see the point in crowing about it though? Has no reflection on the game as it's not been anything like a normal game.

Very little skill and entertainiment, if potentional sponsors have been invited maybe they are thinking.......no thanks.
Worst final ever in my eyes.

Thank God it is over. I can now go back to watching the grass grow.

Worst final ever????

Is there anyone alive who could possibly confirm this?

Great day for Super League.

Another nail in the coffin for the Challenge Cup.

The Widnes v Wakey game back in 79 was pretty poor, however, that was very, very poor.

I should have got an inkling when the sound problems started prior to kick off, a big chance to showcase the game & it went horribly wrong.

Hey ho, at least we’ve got the W.C to look forward to

.

Thank god that's over - Hull were absolutely awful, Wigan just poor - a dreadful game to watch.

Just coming out of Wembley now. Fair play to Wigan they got the win, but agree worst cc final in terms of skill, entertainment and effort from two teams in living memory. My critism of Wigan is they should have hammered us.

Hull fans must feel robbed. They literally saw nothing bar a run from their fullback, which ended appropriately with an incomplete carry.

Must be one of the lowest completion rates by a side this season in all competitions.

How Wigan did not slaughter them is almost as big a mystery.

Everything about the game was poor, from the empty seats, the sound, the pitch markings, the game, the trophy presentation to the shockingly pathetic ticker tape drop when O'Loughlin lifted the cup. The whole thing screamed small time sport.

But at least a percentage of posters on here will be ecstatic about that.

The whole thing to me was depressing, it screamed game in decline.

From the off field build up and presentations to the empty seats and the clincher the actual game itself on the field.

When have you ever seen so many empty seats at a CC final?

The on field product is getting poorer and the attendances reflect this, william eves thread shows the majority of attendances going down week by week.

Pretty sure anyone who'd seen worse would have chosen to end it all

Like I said it will give some people the best day of their lives today.
