It's stupid to try and belittle Widnes' world club challenge win and equally as stupid for you label Wire as "bottlers". League leaders and two x challenge cup wins in the past three years? Hardly bottlers is it? We got beaten by a better team on the night(Leeds).Surely the same would apply to St Helens as they too lost to Leeds. I fully understand you wanting to make the troll look a knob, and rightly so. But to try and belittle one of the most succesfull sides over the past few years, to get your point across is a bit daft mate.
When I go on the Wire website doing it, you might have a point. On here is a different story. If Wire trolls feel the need to dish it out here, then I will reciprocate.
The truth is, is that the league leaders shield is worthless and the Challenge Cup has nothing like the prestige it once had. I'm not saying that I wouldn't want Widnes to win either of them, but the be all and end all of Rugby League these days is winning the grand final. Until that is achieved, there can be no real basking in glory on this board.
I think you'll find that St Helens have won that 4 or 5 times now and, at least, make the final every year. Every year the Wire are tipped to win it and every year they don't even make the final. If that's not bottling it, what is?
We'll probably win it before your lot. Now that would be funny
