| We probably had about 70% possession and field position, you would expect the penalty count to be skewed if the they are. Widnes deserved all they got (including the win).

To be fair, he's right about Wigan.
Their attacking play hasn't been good all season.
Castleford, when they've had theri first choice backs playing have probably been the "best" attacking side this season but, their defence hasn't been consistently strong and Saints are starting to find some decent form and with so few club's hitting the heights, is probably the reason that Wigan are sitting 3rd in the table.

We haven't had our first choice backs out together all season, we have been playing a prop or hooker at HB most of the year, and for the last few games a half back come fullback on the wing, but i have to agree our attack has been pretty fluid but defensively we have been terrible.
Had we not had our 'injury' problems this year (imo the worst in the league) we would have been in the top 4.
Maybe next year will be our year like it has been Hulls so far this year to finally break the top 4 and win a trophy or 3.

| You have to laugh at some people. Widnes commit 20 fouls and they still have to criticise Wigan. ![CRAZY d040.gif](images/smilies//d040.gif)

Well they are coached by an ex Wiganer and are full of ex Wigan players.

Erm are Wakefield not coached by an ex Wigan player? And your side is full of former Leeds and Hull cast-offs.
You really need to get over your obsession with Betts. Did you catch him with your wife or something?

Calm your knickers if anything I was having a dig at Wigan.

Wigan have been awful this season yet sit third and could still make the GF. What does that say about the rest of SL.'"
I can't see Wigan winning any more games this season, and mathematically could finish 5th.

This is another amusing habit of the RL fan. A team sits 3rd in the league and just beat yours 25-0, but a 2 point defeat indicates they won't win another game. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)
