| Was having a discussion about yesterday's win at work this morning.
I stated that 'in my opinion' the win was our biggest and most important win / highest honour since we won in Brisbane 23 years ago.
Some could argue that the Grand Final win against Saints in 2010 was a contender (it was a massive win against our arch-rivals ending our decade long barren spell and it got the ball rolling to more success).
I just think this takes us to another level. The future definitely looks bright over the next 5+ years.

| It's a big one for sure. I personally didn't quite feel the elation that I do with a Grand Final win but I did feel immensely proud and just a sheer relief that we along with Wire have stopped the collective superleague rot.
As for the side itself, you do feel it's just the start presuming we can limit the damage that inevitable exits will cause. The side is still very young and I feel there's at least 20% improvement in the vast majority of the side. Lads like Burgess, Gildart, Williams and Sutton are only going to get better and the squad is packed full of leaders. The balance of the team in regards to ages is also very good.
As a club we're in a fantastic position to keep pushing on and it's exciting.

| In context I think it's a huge win. Given the recent defeats, for the post part comprehensive defeats to Australian clubs for both ourselves and Warrington to win is excellent for the sport.
For me the best description is it's like 'the icing on the cake'.

| I still think the Good Friday win in 2003 was the best win as NOBODY expected Wigan to win after nearly half the team was injured  The atmosphere of that game in the 2nd half will stay with me until i it the grave

| Best since 87 for me..
World Champions trumps SL and NRL..
Waney is the boss, he got everything spot on.
Just so proud of everyone at the club...

Waney's position must now be close to unassailable. He's won everything in the UK that there is to win.
I suppose doubles, trebles etc are still to play for, but a chairman really can't ask much more of his head-coach.

| Don't think the win as good as the Manly or Brisbane games but better than the Penrith match I think as the standing of the British game is/was at a low and I think Cronulla were favourites to win.
For me, the match definitely didn't have the same feeling or nervous anticipation of a Challenge Cup or Grand Final so although a great win, I can't equate it with the cups won last year or in 2013.

There are always new challenges. Look what McDermott has done with Leeds! I've still never seen us win any trophy twice in a row or two major trophies in a season.

We won the Challenge Cup and the SL Grand Final in 2013?

| I know this will be an unpopular opinion on here, but I honestly didn't really and don't really care about the latest WCC win.
I wasn't off my seat screaming at the tele as I would have been in a Grand Final or Challenge Cup Final.
It was a good game, and I'm happy that we won of course, but for one reason or another I didn't care that much. Maybe because deep down I know that it doesn't really matter. If you win the Grand Final then you're the best team in Super League. If you win the WCC, it doesn't really mean you're the best in the world.

I currently work in Liverpool and worked until 2:30 on Sunday, sorry if I don't measure up to your standards
The tele comment was in regards to yesterday's game, as for pretty much any other game I'll be there at the stadium.
