| Quote ="Last Son of Wigan"I guess part of it was because it happened as part of our showcase, the GF. I remember Wardle hitting Abblet perhaps? and seeing red. But playing at Hudds and not in the GF wouldn't generate as much publicity as Flower's attack on Lance.
Lets face it Wardle would have to sign for someone else to even have the opportunity to play in the GF.

He punched an unconscious man on the floor. He should have been banned for a year. It wasn't emotion, it was a calculated act of thuggery. That's why it generated publicity. Flower could have killed him. It wasn't anything to do with it being a Grand Final.

I'm not condoning what Flower did, but I do feel the extra media attention was due to the scale of the event; my opinion. Regardless of such I'm proud of the players that played on and well could have won the GF for a second year running if it wasn't for losing a man (rightly so) in the opening 5 mins.
I'm confident next season we'll be one of the strongest teams in SL, Saints also.
Can you say the same for Hudds?

Yes we can say we will be one of the strongest teams in SL, Certainly be challenging once again.

Doesn`t mean Wigan would have won if Flower had been on the pitch, many times a team reduced to 12 pull off a win due to the rest lifting their game.
So Wigan ended up with sod all, and only the same points in the league as us, but we got the double over you, so that`s 2 - 1 in results, I reckon that`s us with the bragging rights.

We played quite poorly this year and finished 3rd, level with Wigan and 1 point behind Saints. We have a good record against most of the teams in the top 8, apart from Warrington. You don't need to worry your pretty little head about us we'll be fine.
Just be proud of the fact that your team lost to a team with no half backs, failed to score a point in 40 minutes and bombed chance after chance.
So you be proud of your chokers.
As for condoning what Flower did, you compared it to the Wardle incident. The two were not the same. The media coverage has nothing to do with it. Ablett was conscious and at all times able to retaliate and respond, he chose not to which is his prerogative. Flower hit Hohaia after he was knocked out and on the floor. I repeat he could have killed him. The fact you even think the two instances bear comparison shows either a lack of intelligence that would render you incapable of operating a keyboard or that you are making a pretty poor attempt at trolling.
Oh we went on to win the game against Leeds that Wardle was sent off in, plus one against Catalan when Robinson was sent off and two against Leeds when O'Donnell was sent off. So the "we were down to 12 men" excuse won't wash.
The reality is your team choked. Therefore they are no different to us. Last year don't matter. You are currently in the choking camp, we'll move over to make room for you. Would you like a cup of tea or a biscuit?

Did you watch the game? Played very well considering we had a man down, we're a team who last season won the GF and CC, and got to the GF this season, and came close to winning it all with 12 men, hardly a team of chokers. Ridiculous claim.

On day you'll understand in the playoff season when winning matters. Bragging rights? Didn't you watch our last game? It was embarrassing for you men.

| I just find it highly amusing that he is "proud" of something that someone else did. Wigan would perform the same way regardless of whether last son of Wigan was watching or not- why would you be proud of something you haven't influenced?

| He has to be proud of something. I doubt he's done anything himself worth being proud of so give the poor special lad his chance to celebrate a potless season.

well see now that's the interesting thing, with the new system the games that matter are 'every single one' we like yourselves will be aiming for the top group of 8 with a top four finish in that to get to the grand final play off series. With the last few seasons we are competing and winning quite a few games against the 'top clubs' i cant see past us finishing in the top four.
We shall see when the top 8 starting playing against each other week in week out what happens. Personally looking forward to the challenge for our club. Playing against the the other top 7 clubs will be a challenge for all with no break with an easier team to rest players ect

Likewise, bringing in a change to the current format will freshen things up. I'm also looking forward to the change.

It depends. This all originated from my comments at the start of the season saying the game v hudds wash't a big game and in the grand scheme of things didn't really matter. I stand by that.

Don't forget how this all started. I made a single comment which some people took offence too. Wasn't a particularly damming or insulting comment, just outlined the opening game between Wigan and Hudds wasn't a big game and wasn't worth any more than the two points on offer, which in itself doesn't mean much in a playoff system where the champions have previously been crowned from 5.
Not also considering we had the WCC next up.
It's a shame the conversations couldn't have been more constructive. Nevertheless, here's to a good up and coming 2015 season.

That question is irrelevant.
The real question here is why get your half a teacake by posting condescending tripe on an internet message board?
Rhetorical BTW. I already know the answer that you'll give. Believe it or not you aren't the first faux genius to ever discover the internet.

Your opening post was a condescending, boastful, arrogant attempt to wind Huddersfield fans up, go back and read it ...even your own fans have asked why you're embarrassing them and your fellow supporters and to ignore you etc etc...fact is you presumed Wigan would win something this year and were that confident you started this thread to 'goad' folk into some 'banter', you won nothing the same as us so now you're puzzled why, even after the season has ended you're still on here but this time after being ridiculed for looking daft for posting all that crap and ended up with the same as us trying to make out you are a victim and we are having a pop at you, you knew what you were doing when you started this so either sod off from our board or shovel the you dropped !!!

That flapping sound is the sound of chickens coming home to roost. It was always going to end badly for him. You could see it coming a mile off. In fact I blame the GF defeat on people like him. Bad karma!!! Or Instant Karma!

It all started with a comment designed to take offence that's why you made it how particularly damming or insulting does it have to be. Your right about it not being a big game though, at least not any more for the Giant's, I think those days' have gone when they used to worry about playing such as Wigin. To have any sort of conversation you must have two people with a certain amount of intelligence for it to be constructive and sadly that's where it fails on your part as it's plainly obvious that the only matter in your head is Kryptonite and not the grey stuff.
