How much credit do Wigan get when they lose big games? Clarke's end of match summary was sickness inducing tonight.

| Quote: Odemwingie "A top 5 has now been slightly established for this season but which of those most worries you? Which one do you leat want to play come play-off time? Which one will most likely take your title away? Maybe none of them worry you?
Wigan - Top of the league, best team (so far) this season. Scoring points for fun and playing some great stuff. May come and bite you on the bum for that result in the CC
Wire - At full strength an amazing team on paper. Current CC holders. Very organised under your ex coach.
Saints - May want revenger for tha last few years. Players coming back at the end of the year.
Hull - Underdogs, they have some great players and are finding some form. Tricky game as it could be an away game in the play-offs which would be very tough if they have a full team out.
Personally from a Wigan point of view I am just as worried about Leeds come play-off time as anyone else, even if they finish ouitside of the top 4. Your play-off record away from home is shocking and ours is great but you could pull a result out of anywhere.
I think this could be the most exciting play-off series ever with the 5 biggest clubs all at the top of the league.'"
The team that is the biggest threat to Leeds is Leeds. On their day Leeds are unbeatable and on form, I would back them against any other SL team. However it does depend on which Leeds team turns up! |

Could Crusaders be added to the list if they sneak in the top 8?

Maybe, with Wigan to finish second or third? |

Wigan are the biggest threat if today is anything to go by. St Helens only just hang on and Wigan never got out of third gear. It’ll be scary when they do in the play offs ![]()
????
We went away to the goons with 8 players unavailable through injury.
Lomax, Gardner, Soliola, Wheeler, Dean, Eastmond, Wilkin and Faasavalu - all things considered a remarkable victory.

You are absolutely right, you were brilliant, and deserve a lot more credit than you are getting.
I doubt we would have managed it, going there.
But as for the thread, this weekend highlighted exactly which teams are the biggest threat to Leeds, and have been the majority of answers throughout the many pages. The answer is Saints, and Leeds themselves.
I just don't see Wigan as a threat, as I just don't think they have the players to go the whole haul. And although Warrington have technically the better coach, i just think they have too many players of limited ability to win a championship. |

Agreed. And a comfortable one, despite a desperate last 8 mins from a desperate Wigan team. |

I think that the main difference between Leeds and Saints is that they are a team who have a set pattern and players know exactly what they do, and their play is very structured. When one player is out, another may not be of the same quality, but because of the structure they may not miss them so much.
Leeds on the other hand play to very little structure, and rely on the brilliance of some individual players to win games. When those players don't fire, or the plays don't come off, then it leave little to fall back on.
When we get to the business end we seem a lot more structured, and seem to grind teams down, but during the main season we seem to go out there and play more off the cuff. |

I was been sarcastic.
On a more serious note I’ve been impressed with Saints in their wins against Leeds and Wigan this year. The way your players have executed Potters game plan in both them games were world class.
Wigan have a lack of leadership I feel. How many captain do their have again?  |

Five but only four of them played yesterday so it was predictable that they would struggle against a cobbled together St Helens side. Fantastic game to watch as a neutral though.
At the end of the day this is the same Wigan squad that has achieved nothing consistently over the recent seasons and while they appear much improved under Maguire the real test of that is yet to come.
