    Default Let them say

    Let them say we only won because Wigan had 12 men

    Let them say we only won because Mcllorum was out injured

    Let them say Wigan were the better team


    The fact of the matter is no team had ever won a trophy with no halfbacks and without their 1st choice full back

    The fact of the matter is no team had ever won the grand final having to reshuffle their 'half back' partnership and moving their full back out of position

    The fact of the matter is no other team has had to COMPLETELY change the way they play towards the business end of the season and STILL finish top and STILL win the grand final.

    The way I see it is in 2005, 2007 and 2008 we were an outstanding team and didn't win it so bugger it.

    They will say we were lucky. We were not. Did we benefit from an act if cowardly thuggery? Perhaps. But the game still needed to be won. And we done so without, as has been said, the only real halfback we had at the start of the game. We won with players in unfamiliar positions. We won with guts, courage and determination. We won!!!!

    Here Here to all the above. It was a cowardly act, incited by a thug of a coach. If it was in the street it would be a very serious matter.

    WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS,

    WELL DONE TO ALL INVOLVED, As I posted earlier, CRY GOD FOR ROBY!!!! [Henry V]

    We were never going to get the full benefit of that tho, as they lost a man and were down to 12 on the pitch but still had a full complement of 4 subs to interchange from, we only had the option of rotating the 3 - due to Hohaia's injury.

    As I said in my text. Perhaps. As well as what you mentioned - rightly - I think they got a few soft pens afterwards.
    Anyway. Who cares. We won

    Thanks for this SaintJon, I too have copied and posted as updated status on my Facebook. Hope I'm not in breach of copyright but just in case I shall seek redemption by ensuring a tenner finds it's way to the Steve Prescott Foundation.
