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

YAWN

Thats just a load of rubbish. Simple reason being is that champion teams have pride in their defence and dont like conceding soft tries. Sometimes your just way off form,at sixes and sevens and it cannot be helped, thats the case with Leeds at the min, but not with Wigan.

The Leeds of previous seasons loved nothing more than defending their line. Practice makes perfect. If Wigan cant be bothered stopping those soft tries then they dont have pride in their line. Leeds have always had the mentality of "if your going to get over our line, your going to have to work for it". Thats what makes champions.

When Cas visit Wigan later in the year, Cas will go into the game with a confident mentality as they know last time out they scored some points against them with ease. Whereas if Wigan would have had pride in their line and shut the door on Cas then Cas would go to the DW Stadium with a bit of fear and lack confidence.

And some Leeds fans are panicking, calling for players to be dropped and coaches to be sacked, not sure what relevance that has to the form of either club more a reflection on the whole entity that is "the fan".

Generally the feeling is we are going well picking up the wins without really having to put together a full 80.

Seems to me some random bloke who wrote this "article" has hit a raw nerve with Leeds fans, it has with Wigan fans too but simply because it is a poor bit of journalism given the stage in the season we are at.

Wigan fans are confident but not OTT, the feeling when we go into every game is one of confidence and why shouldn't it be. Very few expect a win but most are confident of a win regardless of who we play and I do not see a problem with that.

Wigan are at the top of the league and have not set the world on fire, which is a good sign in my opinion. To a man at least on these forums Wigan fans feel the next 3 games will give us more of a realistic idea of how good we are or could be, seems to me the Leeds fans who are biting to this article are the ones that felt the Loiners were going to walk through another SL season untouched.

Are they?

Where?

My mate is for a start!

first off find me a Leeds fan who wants bluey sacked and second no Leeds fans want players dropped we haven't got enough players to drop!

You said some, that's just one.

Well i know a good few and i work in Leeds.

It is ironic that you use the my mate line, yet discredit it when it is returned in kind.

I also hear the line "well you have played nobody yet" every week from them too.
