'The Slump'

Quote: GIANT DAZ "As a Giants fan, all year we have had to put up with the 'when will the slump start' comments, most tongue in cheek i must add, well isn't it ironic that it now appears that its the mighty, marvellous Wigan who seem to be having it rather than us, allowing the Giants to close the gap on them to a single point and blow the League Leaders race wide open with the 2 meeting at the DW in August in what could be a decider !!

No one questioned whether Wigan would lose games and were all waiting for us to fail.

Oh and before anyone pulls me or my club to pieces over this it is meant in a light-hearted way and more tongue in cheek winky winky banter than a bigheaded Giants fan or anti Wigan thread.
That's nice.

You know wigan and huddersfield are actually very similiar in some respects. Both are systematic, well drilled teams who rely on a talismatic figure for that extra quality/creativity/x factor, whatever you wanna call it. Tomkins for wigan, brough for huddersfield. When either is missing, both teams seem to come down a few pegs.

Neither wigan or huddersfield will win the grand final IMO because they lack the all round quality. Huddersfield are a very workmanlike team who like wigan dismantle alot of their opponents with systematic set structures. But when you brush away the polish I personally see a lack of individual quality which will get exposed in the pressure cooker playoff games. That last sentence applies to huddersfield far more than it does wigan.

This doesn't mean neither team will make the grand final, just leeds or warrington will win it. If leeds injury problems don't clear up for the playoffs it looks like the way is clear for warrington to finally end this title drought.
