Don’t worry pal- all clubs have them. I even got a Hull fan private message me on Facebook to have a go - no idea who he was- but that’s the epitome of sad sack.
Most wigan fans I spoke to after the game were super. Only saw a couple of numb nuts try and wind folk up. One got hauled off by his mates, the other decided to start a fight with fellow wiganers and the police.

too much beer.
We don’t hold you all to the same low standards of that fool above.
He’s like the sad drunk in the corner of the pub if you ignore him for long enough eventually the Billy-no-mates just slinks off.

Hear hear , another Wigan cockwomble.

Just watched the game again and it was even better than I remember.

Enjoy the loss you set of tools.

Thanks very much for bringing that up! We(KR) owe someone big time for that. Sometimes it,s just not your day and everything goes wrong, and that was ours. To be fair Leeds were on fire and had their "golden generation" players all available, hey ho, moving on.
What I think is harder is to lose it at the death, like you did, great effort, and if that kick through ball had bounced another way, you would have won, but they got the bounce and kicked their goals. Tough, but that's it.

Sorry old timer!


One giants fan said to me yesterday he’d rather have lost 50-0, but no not for me- gutted we lost for sure but rather have been in with a chance even if we failed at the end.
That performance will have done our club the power of good on and off the field. Watson will find his recruitment a little easier this year for sure.
Just sitting down to watch it again. But I’m going to stop at 74 minutes………

Feel for the Huddersfield players and fans - we've been on the wrong side of final results plenty of times so definitely won't be rubbing that in. You were the better side for most of the game - we just managed to hang in there and if you're two points behind with 5 minutes to go then you have a chance. Leutele scared me to death every time he got the ball.

Looks like you're set to be serious contenders for all the trophies over the next few years.

Well played Huddersfield, not the greatest game, but you were unlucky not to win it, it was good to see another club,like Salford recently challenging for the awards.

The post above is probably the reason irate supporters decide to communicate with you.

I have no problem with people responding to my comments on forums and the like. Not sure why random people I don’t know, and aren’t communicating with would feel the need to private message me out of the blue rather than make it public- almost as if they knew what they were saying wasn’t acceptable… A bit creepy wouldn’t you say? Certainly not normal behaviour.

you don't half talk some tosh, you lost by two points

just one conversion would have at least brought extra time, you do need a decent kicker
also you need to stop smoking that weed believing you have to line up stars

Posts like this remind me why I cant stand Wiggin Warriors. Must admit some of the home games that are played in the stadium owner by Wigan Athletic, you occasionally get some decent crowds. But it's still far too big for the silly pies.....

Up the Leythers !

He missed some tough kicks on the day- it happens, if not for that player we wouldn’t have been in a position to win at all.
Never mind stars then- What you need at wakey now snowie is a miracle- and no kicker of goals- decent or not is going to help you. What you need is a decent coach. WP nice guy that he is, is not that and I’m afraid with Norman and Peats in Toulouse’s spine, bringing some direction to their squad- who also appear to have improved greatly fitness wise, A miracle could be all that saves Wakefield if you insist on sticking with what you have.

pathetic response,not all wiganers are bad winners/losers so surely you cannot hate all of them.
My take best team won as it says on the scoreboard doesnt mean Hudds didnt have the chances theu did but didnt take them one flash of brilliance is all it took could have been either side.

So hard lines Huddersfield better luck next time.

Get back on your own forum, you silly pie !

Nice one you silly no one ,thought this was a forum open to other fans .
surely a Leigh fan should stay on their forum my friend

Definitely fees like you've thrown it away when you concede at such a late moment in the game. Enjoyed the game though, great stadium, great atmosphere.

Wigan know how to hang in there, whether they are playing well or not. They have the grit and determination. French and Field scared me every time they got the ball though I thought we handled them well overall.

I cant comment on the reffing yet as I haven't watched it. What does me off though without even watching it back is when penalties are given for tackles, the tackle needs reviewing, and action taken on the field to help the hindered players team. Said players getting away with it and then action being taken post game is utterly pointless and does not help the team with the fouled player.

And that applies to Huddersfield or whoever. We have certainly been effected by this on a number of occasions this season. Penalty given, no yellow/red, banned post game. It really gets on my tits.

Anyway, congratulations to Wigan, they got the job done.

Huddersfield performed outstandingly controlling large part of the game. Our work rate, effort, drive was outstanding throughout. Id have preferred us to have taken a few more chances on the last in the 20 to score again though. So a tactical observation instead of plainly just turning over. I supposed its easy to after-time though. In reality we were 3mins from winning - so the tactics Watson had employed had worked through the game and I wouldn't be writing this if we'd held on.

Smith got too much time for his last kick through the create the try. We left the door ajar. They would have scored a similar play in the first half should Smith not have kicked too long into touch.

Missing conversion and penalty kicks at goal is part of the game. But they carry too big a reward to not just write them off.

Overall it still stings but I look forward to the remainder of the season now and getting into the playoffs!!

yeap you can then have the last laugh
if we go down

I see that grub Morgan Smithies has received a 4 game ban for 2 separate incidents. So at the very least he should have been sin binned twice or sent off, but the Ref bottled it because it was a final. You lucky, lucky pies. At least you have no chance of winning the Grand Final, so there is a God after all. Up the Latics !

you do realise tics are from a different sport and is irrelevant to anything rugby.I dislike football with a passion but love love rugby league even your little team in a part of Wigan.

Bit like he bottled giving us a late penalty for the incident that has seen Yates banned for 2 games. Luckily he didn't give it, we scored on the next tackle.

how do you know we have no chance of winning the grand final,none of our players are good enough to get in the stains team but here we are having beat them in the semi and winning the cup final.
this is only directed at the Lobby.

Everyone saying that the ref bottled it by not sin binning players should look back at previous Challenge Cup Finals. I can't rememeber a single player being sin binned for at least the last 10 years., Looks like a directive to referee's to me.

Not too difficult to see why all the decent shudds posters have deserted this board, a bit of moderating wouldn't go amiss, not a criticism just an observation.

I apologise Chissitt,I was only replying,but the latest one got out of hand so bye.
