Wigan make history again. First team to win at Spurs (I expect the venue will be used again) and have now extended the number of Challenge Cup Wins to 20.
Yes there were too many mistakes from Wigan but Huddersfield never got far enough away for them not to lose it. They were too conservative but were still just less than three minutes away from winning it but we’re undone. Wigan’s three tries were excellent and despite Huddersfield missing the goal kicks it should not have mattered with so little time left on the clock. They should have seen the win out despite the missed conversions.
Just watched the BBC summary and lots of praise on the BBC for Watson and Huddersfield but thanks to John Wilkin who had to remind the panel sport is about winning. Wigan won, we have the Cup in the cabinet again and that will do nicely thanks.

Winning is the only thing that matters. If you can play attractive rugby as well then fine. Speed kills and we have plenty of it.

It was so close that either side would lose the the giants did they could,and should being fair about it put Wigan to bed but try and play a close game with the speed wigan have and you're playing with fire as proved today

They persisted in marking out of the games our speedsters along with Faz, slowed the game down all the time McQueen was playing the Y out of YMCA every time we tackled their players.
By the end of the game, 76 minutes to be precise, our fitness held out for the full 80!

Glad we won, and the result is in tomorrow's papers whatever is said about goal kicks, referee's decisions, or who deserved what.
Having said that, I feel genuinely sorry for Huddersfield and Watson. They've won nowt since 1953, and (against any other team) I'd have said they deserved to get something for their efforts.
Gerry McGillvary was on local news here in Yorkshire yesterday and came across as a really humble, grounded bloke: "I'm from a council estate and never saw myself moving to Australia" etc. I think I was the only wearer of a Wigan shirt applauding him when he came back from scoring his try. (Apologies if this offends anyone.)
