So even winning back to back to back titles will still make you overrated? What do we have to achieve to please you?

982.jpg [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]

I repeat, Leeds fans should realise, more than anyone, that champions don't get crowned in July. Wigan fans would do well to remember that.

| Quote: Hopie "Wigan really know how to work the tackle area and the referee, it was evident against Hull and again last night. They use the anklebreaking technique of two holding up and a third going in on the legs, regularly have a hand on the ball and in posession hold down the tackler to gain a penalty, hope these tactics don't lead to success as it will lead to more of it.'"
Of course you're right. As I said in a thread on your forum before the match, the only possible way we could beat you is by cheating. How could a bunch of no-hoper players possibly beat the god-like supermen of Leeds?
...or maybe you could be blinkered somewhat???

| Wigan are a team punching above their weight and have been doing all season. If this Wigan squad goes on to win the grand final then in years gone by we’ll all look at the Wigan team that day in puzzlement and conclude what a poor season 2010 was..

Of course they're not overrated - they've won for three successive years. What's happening IMO is that several of the great stalwarts of the club (Lauititi, Senior, Donald, McGuire, etc) are not the players they once were.
It must be difficult for a coach of a successful team to accept that some of his linchpin players are becoming weak links, and replace them in time to keep the team on top.
Leeds are quite plainly not the team this year that they were in previous years. Some fans on here accept it, some are blinded by their colours.

I would agree with that all but Mcguire becoming a weak link, been one of our best players this season.

I’ve observed this Leeds team now for many years. Last year I never expected Leeds to finish top of the table because we didn’t do anything spectacular to warrant that. However this Leeds team tends to come into shape in knock out football at the end of the season.
All three times we was written off and all three times we won in the last three years.
The league seems somewhat a burden to this Leeds team who just can’t get motivated against the likes of Crusaders.
Now back onto play off football. Wigan have performed well in these end of season play off series despite finishing low in a play off place in the past few years. You’ve always fallen short to Leeds and St Helens just before the grand final.
VERY SHORT
This year your league form has improved but your challenge cup performance tells us that your play off endings are all the same!

You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

if you are going to post in other threads you should read them too, read what i have posted about Leeds performance last night and this year and then calm down
if you wish to defend Wigan's tactics then do so

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Quote: craigizzard "Wigan are a well-coached side. They have a few good-not-great imports (Richards, Leuleui, Riddell), an excellent prospect (Sam Tompkins), and a couple of decent back-rowers (Joel Tompkins, O'Loughlin).
On the whole, they aren't anything special.
That they're top of the pile at the moment says more about the form of Leeds and Saints than the quality of Wigan.'"
Richards is favourite for man of steel.
Riddell has outplayed pretty much every hooker in the league appart from Monaghan.
Your own captain said that Lockers is the best player in the England team.
To only call JT decent off this years form is just daft.
Leeds fans are blind to the fact that Wigan have just improved alot this year.
Very very poor losers.

No, you didn't. But we did. We lost five of our last eight matches, which gave you the top spot we had held all season.

| Quote: Harrigan "...Actually worried me tonight.They are a poor mans Saints.
IMO when push comes to shove they will lose 2 playoff games in a row. I have never been as confident at winning the title as I am after tonights game. I know we lost and Wigan played well but TBF they were nothing near a championship winning team tonight to say they were "up" for this game. In the 1st match of the play offs at the DW I can see us winning quite convincingly.
Sorry Wigan... this isnt your year.
Leeds vs Saints final once again.'"
A very poor post that smacks of arrogance.
Most sensible fans have acknowledged for a while now that anyone of Wigan, Leeds, Saints or Wire could contest and win the GF this year. What you have written there is total rubbish.
