Wigan are a great team, one of the best of the SL era but fair play to Rovers (hate saying that) they gave everything but came up short. Most teams would have buckled and have been well beaten but they fought to the end.

Having said that....Rovers just don't do finals.

I attended a Cup Final when they became the first Hull team to win at Wembley after 3 previous attempts by Hull clubs. They certainly did that one.

Agree with your comments about the the Robins performance against Wigan.

The whole game was refereed differently. I think there was only 1, possibly 2 set restarts all game. Not a single penalty for offside (defensive line) given all game. Maybe only 1 or 2 penalty's for holding down all game.
It makes for better viewing as the game flows more, but pretty much every rule just seemed to go out the window last night

It was a miles better watch but going off previous games it's frustrating as a fan who's seen his team hammered for every possible little thing this season, had it been a regular league game with say Sao committing the above foul play there would have been video ref stoppages and cards galore but all of a sudden everything changes because its a grand final.

If every game was allowed to flow like last night we'd all have a much better product to watch.
