| I agree with Saddened, there's not an awful lot in it at all.
Wigan have been great but I'd still back Saints this year before them thus far.

Your posts are so bitter it's funny
We owned you men on friday and blew wakey off the pitch today joel tomkins is imo the best second rower in sl atm and it's not even close, we have got the depth in the squad to cover injurys (which atm we might have around 5)
Fair enough we are only 9 games in but i really think we will be top come end of the season

Wigan are in absolutely stunning form and have shown glimpses of top form. However I think all the talk of not getting out of 3rd gear is absolutely nonsense.
But I have to agree that the best is yet to come from Wigan rather than the best behind you.
Your first few games of the year were the best so far IMO

As a Wigan fan, I think you should reign in the rhetoric here. We did not own Saints on Friday, but it was a very very good win and well over due
As for blowing away Wakey, well Hudds did that and they got turned over by Salford today
Wigan should be very happy with the first third to the season but there is a long way to go and there are some great teams in this competition who could beat Wigan on any given day (one of them is even outside of the top eight)

I love this.
His trolleys are absolutely filled with the fear of a successful Wigan team, takes him back to those horrible horrible times.

There is imo a big diffrence between us and hudd they are a very good side dont get me wrong but there consistency is stopping them from being a real threat league position wise

HA get real!
Leeds are a match for wigan. All things being equal. I daresay with more players and a bit of form leeds could have beaten wigan a few weeks ago.
Certainly if roles were reversed and an injury ravaged, our of form wigan went to headingly against an on form leeds, there would have been quite abit more than 20 points in the final scoreline.

OK.
So by your reckoning, wigan are well ahead.
So, when it comes to the playoffs, wigan will beat everyone easily and walk to the title, huh?
But it never works out that way.
Warrington saints wigan and leeds are all very evenly matched when it comes to the playoffs and the games will be tremendously tough.
being apparently ''well ahead'' of everyone after 10 games will count for sweet f*ck all whne it comes to those big games in october and september. If leeds can get into the top 4 i'd back them. Call me bias but i reckon a fair few neutrals would too.

Do you win the title for coming top?
It was said wigan were well ahead, saddened disagreed and you mocked him.
So wigan already have the title wrapped up huh?
Or was saddened right, and they aren't well ahead of everyone.

Your tries were hardly wonderful efforts either. A flukey opening try and a barge over (similar to ours).

Get a grip.
Saints didn't look like scoring? How many times were they held up over the line?
It was only tremendous last ditch defence which stopped them.
Taking into account your lucky try, on another day saints could have won that game with something to spare.
Keep deluding yourself you're ''well ahead'' you'll just be in for a shock come the playoffs. A few leeds fans were in 2004.

| That's IF you get in the playoffs
You have to play Stains (Twice), Wire (Twice) and Wigan again yet.
Very lucky today, nearly let it slip against a team of also rans again.

Of course they can. But lets not pander to this "Leeds will still win it" spiel, just because they are Leeds.
