Quote: lothlorian "to be fair that thread was started by a dillusional fan. It was one fan. The replies from the posters on that thread myself included stated how ridiculous it was and quickly put him in his place. All clubs have the odd fan like that it just so happened that ours reared his ugly head at that point. I do not remember a wigan fan agreeing with him. The thread was deleted and rightly so. Wigan fans in general are for once enjoying a good start to the season and if you regularly attend the wigan board most posters state how we want to gage how far we have come against the two best teams in the comp... yourselves and saints. nothing arrogant in that in fact it should be compliment when we are gaging our credentials against other teams to measure potential success.'"


You should look on the 2nd thread posted by TVOC above then. I have no problem with supporters bragging about there team doing well, but that was not the issue here, it was another poster trying to play this down and then knitting fog to try and turn it around, even with all the proof posted, rather than just saying ok you got me. He just ended up going around in circles.

Will the result, should you win, gauge how far you have come tonight?

i dont think this game will to be honest. I would have liked a full strength team from leeds and although some key players are back, will they be match fit/sharp. I think tonight is a lose/lose game for us. If we lose the usual banter will start mocking our good start to the season stating we cant beat the top sides...if we win then it will be a victory against an injury ridden, rusty leeds side. i think the easter period as whole will show what we have achieved and whether we are contenders or not. If we're top of the pile after next weekend i think we need to be taken seriously as contenders but to be honest i have sneaky feeling this might actually be the year of the wolf.

Wow at last someone with reason. You are contenders, you look good early doors and that sort of early season feel good factor can go a long way. Still not sure on the Wolves TBH as I get the feeling they still feel they can be beat. Strange game tonight for me, I go into every game feeling we can win, my glass is always half full, but I feel your home advantage may just be the edge. Ganson maybe ours.................no wait forget that icon_biggrin.gif

If this wigan side are the favourites for the title this league must be the worst since the SL era.

Leeds have got their third team out and are dominating this so called champion side at their own ground. If a full strength Leeds side meet this Wigan side at OT in October We will be 4 time champs no question.

Phil Bentham scoured the video tape and despite conclusive evidence that Smith was a half yard offside, he allowed the try to stand. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saints are a big-game team with bags of big-game experience. They have won five Challenge Cups from six final appearances in the Super League era and have won five Grand Finals in that time too. Add two World Club Championships to that and you have the roll-call of the best rugby league team this country has produced in the modern-era - and it's a phenomenal record. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ancient & Royal wrote.... "You are proud to be associated with that dis-organised band of mercenaries? I am ashamed to be a Wigan fan hell yes, what have we got to be un-ashamed about? We are a joke, a laughing stock, we are NOTHING, why cant people understand!":11659.jpg

By the way congrats Wigan your game plan was spot on tonight, keep taking it to us in the middle then when the time is right strike out wide. Spot on tactics for me.

I just think when it comes to the last 2 months of the season, we are going to be the team to beat.

1st place has to win 2 games to get to old trafford.

8th place has to win 3. So theres not really as much advantage as there was before.

Last years 8th place catalan dragons, went away to wakefield in their first game, a place you'd feel confident of winning with a full team in a playoff situation.

We're in a bad patch at the moment, but we'll work our way up the table, slowly but surely. I honestly think we could take out the title from anywhere in the playoffs. If we hadn't had the injuries and WCC we'd be top 2.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg



Wigan were on their own middin with nobody missing from their 1st choice 17 (and I include Phelps as a nobody). Wigan are the form team and our form is terrible.

Project forward three months with our 8 players back, that game at Headingley and us in a run of form.

Should be interesting. Great result for4 Wigan tonight (and a deserved result) but they are far from being crowned champions yet.,
