The referee strangled the game, how he has risen to refereeing SL games is beyond me, he could even make the GF derby seem drab. what was once the main competition in the rugby league calendar is now an afterthought, a rethink is needed. Maybe the Challenge Cup is past its sell by date? It is obvious, by last nights attendance that the folk in Wigan think so.
My lad and his girlfriend took advantage of the low price to go,i warned them it wouldn't be a classic but no they where determined to go as we got back to the car she said she wished she'd listened to mesh likes the game but is at a point where it can go either way,time and again I said id buy them tickets for the WCC but they declined "too cold",truth is yes you get spoiled by games like that one but it can also hook the new fan too such a miss opportunity for both of them.
