No attendance threads started by Wigan fans this week ?

What did they get last night?

Funny how that is!

They looked pretty much the same as early last season.

15,300 ish.

I thought their ball skills and defence was very good for only the 2nd round of super league.

They moved the ball well with good options running everywhere.

Like I said, I think they looked impressive.

Without tempting fate.

We could be Top of the Superleague, with the best attack and best attendance of the weekend. Then we will get Wire Fans coming on telling us you don't win superleague in round 2.

Alllllllllways look on the briiiight side of liiiiiife

It was a monumental turn around from last week, and the difference was. Desire! We wanted it this week. Where as last week the players felt like they only had to turn up to win, and we got burnt because of it.

I don't know what Saints fans as neutrals think, or as neutral as Saints fan's can be. But the more and more I see Charnley play, the more I think he's wasted on the wing. I'd personally look to move him inside to centre this season. Particularly when you take into account Carmont will be leaving at season end.

I think he needs to sort out that hair.

I think he looks ideal for the wing. I'd leave him where he is.

Charnley reminds me of Paul Newlove in his size pace and balance.
He is doing well on the wing but for me he looks like a potential world class strike centre.

If desire was enough this week, how come last week the Wigan fans where bemoaning their lack of a kicking game. I've seen neither match and can only take reports from the fans themselves that go. But last week it was we have no kicker we will not win anything without a kicker.

Has the kicking been sorted or was it never the kicking that was the problem in the first place?

Last week our forwards ran with little if any conviction. Last night they showed the hunger and determination that's required at this level. As a consequence we were kicking on the front foot last night, usually from the halfway line. Against Huddersfield it was the other way around, we struggled to get over our own forty more times than not. Sinfield has a superb kicking game, yet last night it was non existent due to Wigan dominance of field position. A strong showing in the forwards and good kicking game go hand in hand IMO.

It was just an all round lax effort last week.

Bar one kick from Tomkins, their kicking game was crap. I did watch the match (on TV that is).
