how does getting you to react badly to something i post count as trolling self centered much?

Anyway Matty Smith thanks for choosing wigan as he knew he would win trophies.

Ex Saints player Matty Smith, probably would have given it to Taylor for his hard yardage.

I think our 27-0 loss to Wigan was more entertaining as our potentional sponsors are probably saying...no thanks.

Wish you had been giving it out, I had a 20 quid free bet on him at 66/1.

What a dreadful match. One of the worst games that I've seen and it is a shame that it was the Challenge Cup final.

Both teams weren't great, but Hull couldn't get past tackle 2 on a lot of their sets and that said it all really and decided the game for Wigan. For their dominance, I'm not sure why they only had 6/8 points next to their name for the majority of the match? That should be a bit of a concern for Wigan in terms of the rest of the season, I think Wigan looked very beatable and I don't think Hull are going to get a better chance than they had today.

I'm not sure how they even came up with a MoM? Matty Smith got it for his kicking game, but apart from that he didn't do too much else.

hull did loads of defensive work and we was hammering them in the tackle as well i'm not surprised they was shot after the 60 minute, everybody seems to forget that wigan's key players have been out injured for large parts of the season and i don't doubt wanes taking the foot of the throttle till play off time.

Everybody hasn't forgotten anything. It's just that everybody (bar some Wigan fans) knows that isn't true.

Another game in wet conditions and another knockonathon. Same story, one common denominator.

I've said it before and ill say it again, it seems there are real problems in wet conditions with the current ball and the Grand Final, which should be the biggest and most exciting game of the season is sure to be another disappointment.

It must be true because wigan say it is On one of the other threads on Cherry and White that dim Mash Butty character is blaming the crap new balls on Saints, that must be true too.

Say what you want, and I’m not saying for one minute that it was a classic, it wasn’t, but be honest if you just changed the name from Wigan to St Helens on that game you’d be blaming the weather, the ball, recent injuries and the poor oppositions performance too, but when all’s said and done you too would just say “we don’t care, we won” and I couldn't blame you one bit.

Re: match on today : Sun Aug 25, 2013 9:26 am  

This is a zero sum thread for saints fans. No matter the score or quality, the result is Wigan won and we were out long ago.

Your correct , as a Wigan fan a win is a win and you got a trophy for it. If it were Saints I'd be happy to just win the cup with a performance being a bonus. The thing is were not Wigan fans here so we wanted a good game to watch

There were some worrying signs though as a Wigan fan you should be a little concerned about , Pieman on Cherry and White mentioned it(being a bit one dimensional), even with the weather being so poor and the balls being problematic (which for me should just get fixed !!) the amount of possession Wigan had they should have been out of sight by half-time.
