Although the LLS is a piece of silverware, it's the GF that's the one.
And if you and Hull get there, you'll be hoping you don't bottle another big day out.
In what way did Wire 'bottle' our two GFs? Yes, we should have won both, but the match v Leeds has gone down as one of the best GFs of all time, and it's never a disgrace to lose to Leeds in a final. Against the Pies it was all going our way until the nasty injury to Joel Monaghan broke up our ( to that moment ) impervious defensive line and gave Wigan their first sniff when they'd been under the cosh for 30 minutes. You win some, you lose some, 'bottling' doesn't enter into it in either case.
