And had Bird not gone off Catalan looked as though they had the beating of Leeds.
What's your point?

I don't think hit up sets and a kick, tight play offs football is something Wigan do well! in previous seasons it hasn't gone well. And against the bulls when you tried to shut em out you feel appart! I didn't say the team can't do it I've just not seen it yet.

and agree re Catalan but they were always chasing the scoreboard. we amassed our Lead that they couldnt catch whilst bird was on the field.

Bigging up or dismissing a teams championship chances in March would seem to be tempting a big fat slapping come the middle of October.

Leeds fans should be wary of assuming that a record breaking 3 wins in a row means anything to anyone else competing against us, and fans of other teams who have begun frequenting our board to talk themselves up should observe the lack of Saints posters willing to join in. At least those guys are showing common sense. I wonder why?

If I were a Wigan fan (apart from the fact that I would be massively dissapointed with how my life had turned out), I would be thinking no matter how well we may have played a couple of times this year, we still haven't won a Championship since 1998 and managed to lose a 20 point lead to one of the worst Bradford sides ever to play in SL. That would have me worried. But you never know, after all there's only 6 months of the season left so we are nearly there.

It may have escaped you that it was not a Wigan fan that started bigging up their chances, it was a newspaper article. And as for being beaten by the worst Bradford side in SL, I'm sure a certain Leeds team got beat by a worse team (Salford) at home last season, or did I imagine it?

No Wigan fans I know are getting carried away, lets have a look after Easter Monday (10 Games) and then after 20 games to see how things are. It's a long season and there will be changes but just let me say I'm happy with the way things have gone so far in comparison to last season when we lost 5 of our first 7 games.

It's obviously escaped you that when talking about "bigging up"I didn't mention Wigan fans, I guess you were just ready to jump.

And if you think being beaten by Salford last year didn't have a few people - myself included - panicking then just ask Danny how many people he tortured at the end of last season with bookmarked threads from that game and the Quins game.


The point I was making (which seems to have escaped you) was that [iwhichever [/iteam you support (including Leeds) you shouldn't be deciding already on the outcome of a season with 6 months to go. I'm sure you would agree with that?

A 20 point lead thrown away to one of the worst Bradford sides in SL history? To be honest I was fishing for Bulls fans but I caught a Goon instead.

give over maybe not those of you on rlfans who know better! but really! Do you live in Wigan? Most of the town is convinced you are gonna win sl the gf and cc! My best mate who I have gone home and away with for years is there ever other weekend with his mrs! He's there on Saturday actually! They are convinced!

Not getting carried away? my ar$e!

Its a massive task to win it from 8th, even anything outside the top 2 takes some doing as history has shown. Im sure the Wigan team under Maguire will only be focusing on Leeds on Friday and not some journalist.

But they didnt beat us?????

I would worry about my own teams performances since the start of the season, even before the injuries, rather than Wigans chance of winning the comp
