NOT AGAIN GUTTED

Let's look forward to next season. Sandow hopefully staying plus Cooper and Crosby (by the looks of it) coming over with Dodds back to fitness with Westwood back, it'll change our go forward.

Best team won. No complaints from me.

Great research.Even more bottlers reading that list.

You weren't ahead at HT in 2012, leeds were. But you were ahead in the 2nd half at about 60 mins, after Atkins try, so you point still stands, which is that you are bottlers.

And what have you done in your life Flex Wheeler, key board warrior? I think we should be told.

Interesting. Proves nothing though. Only 3 who played tonight were involved in anything other than the last 4 on that list. One of them we drew, one is a normal league game; so why not include the Salford game for example? So in the two finals this year, we were ahead in low scoring games at HT and lost. Not sure what relevant conclusion you can draw from that for this particular squad.

Really gutted for you guys tonight.Wanted you to win,not least of all because I'd love to see Hull FC play in the World Club Series and it increased our chances. But also because you've been a great side all year, played the game in the true spirit of it and were very gracious after Wembley. Sad to see some of your fans bagging a few players on another thread when those two or three players have been very good this season. Two of your players I really rate highly are Declan Patton and Matty Russell. Good Luck for next season.

It was like a 2nd rate NRL game.....boring !

I agree it was boring.

Very poor game , very few moments of real quality sadly

Gutted, we just looked tired in the second half and wigan did what they do best, completely ground us down and wore us out. Good win for them and well deserved. Shame about the pathetic trolls already, it's a game, you haven't actually achived anything so grow up. Well done Wigan.

In all honesty Wigan were more dominant throughout the game & we were lucky not to have conceded more points. Their game management was much better & left us starting sets in the wrong part of the field, too near our own line. In possession ,Wigan were making more yards than us.
One of our biggest drawbacks though is the inability to breech goal line defence.The ball was merrily going from side to side across the pitch tonight with massive gaps in the Wigan defence & no one had the nouse or ability to throw a dummy.The chances were there but the execution wasn't. The ability to beat a man when running a kick back in would also be a useful attribute.

Well done Wigan,well deserved !

Cannot disagree with a word of this. Our pack and kicking game could not get us into a pressuring field position as often as we needed. When we were we there we lacked cutting edge.

Ignore him, he's just a p**s poor Leeds supporting troll who threw his dummy out ages ago saying he wouldn't post on here again, and surprise surprise he rears his head.

He adds nothing of any interest to this forum, so just ignore him and he will go away to another sub forum looking for bites like the attention craver that he is.

I don't know if it was a sign from above, but Sandow gave his boots to a random young lad at the end of the match. Lovely gesture.

All the above is true.

If I had spent my hard earned to watch that as a neutral I'd be well hacked off.

As it is I spent my hard earned watching that as a Wire fan and I am thoroughly disappointed with my teams performance.

With all the time we spent going from side to side we should be the Warrington Crabs not the Warrington Wolves.

A very poor day at the office......

It was like watching Dean Gaskell, all that running side to side..............

Commiserations I thought before the game you were nailed on to win tonight with Wigan's injuries. A typical GF type of match that I think
suited Wigan more than Warrington with defence being the key factor. I just felt Warrington's best chance was taking the game to Wigan and throwing the ball around more but if anything Wigan were more adventurous with the ball. It's a real shame because you've played some exciting footie again this year but you just fell short when it mattered most. Where do you go from here after another GF defeat? I don't know because it's a real mystery why you can't perform to your best in a GF considering the quality you see throughout the season.

Bottling it is the wrong phrase. To bottle something is to not turn up from the start.

I always thought that to bottle it you had to have been in with a chance in the first place. I think in all the games mentioned in the list earlier in this thread that is the case, but last night I think 6-2 flattered us and we were dominated from the first minute. I don't think we ever looked like winning last night, so I can't say we bottled it.

I think a major differences with Wigan this last few weeks is that they have gone away from winning ugly & started playing open rugby which is what we are renowned for. Unfortunately, when someone plays us at our own game we are left wanting.

When we went ahead I knew they would come back, when they went ahead I knew we wouldn't. Depressing really.

p.s: Bailey was godawful last night.

Yes we didn't bottle it, we just had no answer to their forwards.... they were comfortably finishing every set in our half. Our line speed and aggression in contact just wasn't there.

Sims, george king, Bailey, Wilde were just out of their depth against the Wigan pack, absolutely no go forward and you cannot afford so many passengers.
