Quote: onlyanorthernsoul "True enough but we had about 9-10 first teamers out at any one time for 3/4 of the season. It caught us out as we had a light squad really, then there was losing the quality of Ferres and Robinson having to retire. Not sure its the worst of any team but I've watching the giants for 20 odd years and I can't remember a season like it. Having said that we still lost most games by only a score or two so I'd like to think we'll be a different beast next season, with or without anymore signings.'"

Exactly, whilst injuries,early season disruptions and detached team spirit didn't help our cause, we finished bottom because we didn't win enough games, we blew enough chances to win most of those games, so nobodies fault but our own.

Slight correction to the first post...

Daniel Murray coming in at Salford came from Warrington not through Salford ranks.

Sorry for being anal.

Quote: MattyB "Not many had more injuries than us and we're now sitting pretty as Champions.
True enough, injuries are part and parcel and Wigan did well.

However Wane mentioned it every game as did Eddie and Stevo and gained much sympathy yet at the end of the season when Wakefield were riddled with injuries and suspensions mainly to their better players this was not mentioned and certainly never used to explain our obvious lack of form at the end of the season - one rule for one etc from the hpypocritical world that is RL.

That's because Wigan - big club, Wakefield - small club.

If they folded tomorrow no one would give a sh*t except for the ten people that show up (and I'm round up the numbers there).

It's f*cking tin pot clubs like Wakey and Cas that are forcing the RFL to persist with the salary cap and thus driving down the quality of Super League every year until we inevitably become nothing more than a feeder competition for Union and the NRL.

Wow, there are some very valid points in that rant, and we are definitely in danger of being a feeder comp/game

I see the champagne hasn't worn off yet then no?
You really are clueless aren't you. You do realise that both of the clubs you mentioned both made the top 8 this year? (given we didn't actually win a game but still)
Oh and for the "10 people that show up" - we did pretty well considering we were the team that increased our attendances the most this year from the year before d040.gif
Tell me, where would you be if you actually had to own and fund your own stadium without feeding off the football team?
Or where you would've been had you not cheated in 2006 to bring in players (over the cap) to stop you going down? ha.

Oh and as for Castleford - they've been consistently in the top 6 for the past 3 years - so how you can still call them a tin pot club is beyond me.

Laughable. icon_lol.gif
