It's nice to have a 3 way race for once

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.

Some of your post is sensible (re structures)
Some of it is utter garbage.

I think the slump comments were on the back of the giants having form for starting the season well then blowing it with a dip in form. you've done it a couple of times and this season you started well....which again attracted such comments.
This season you've shrugged that monkey off your back as such and have a real chance of challenging for a trophy..

To be fair, Huddersfield do have a fair bit of form in this area and if you were a betting man, Hudds would have been favourites to fade first. Personally, as a Wigan fan, I'm pleased that you are doing so well and hopefully it will result, at some stage, in extra bums on seats.

We're having a slump? We should have beat Wire with 9 players missing through injury and lost to an in form Cas side with 9 missing again and with only a 4 day gap between fixtures. I thought Castleford were exceptional as well.
Its great to see Huddersfield managing to string more then 2 months worth of form together but let's see how they're doing come the Wire Challenge cup tie. That's the acid test of their credentials.
I'd probably focus on that if I were a Huddersfield fan.

Trophies aren't won in June or July. Let's see how Huddersfield's form is around the end of August when the trophies start being handed out.

To be fair the whole thread is ridiculous, I don't get why hudds fans (and coaching staff) get so worked up because people have commented they may slump. It's what they do EVERY year, get your head down go out on the field and carry on winning through all season for a change and then nobody can aim that criticism at them again. |

Is it because Wigan have lost to Cas they are having there slump? Wane stated Cas have been the best team to play at the DW this season so maybe its Wigan have played 2 tough games. Wire and Cas. Doesn't mean they are in a slump. Still top of the league.

They're winning but they're not playing well and have been a tad fortunate to come against a busted Leeds side and a abysmal Catalans side. You could say it's a sign of a good side, but they'll have to up their game if they want to win something this year. I also fear for them if Brough were to get injured, as good as Cudjoe, Lunt, and a few of their other players have been Brough is the heart and soul of the team, and seems to be the only creative player they have.

| Hudds fans can start shooting off at the mouth IF Fartown actually win a pot. The Giants are still a way off that imo. Pretty daft thread this. No wonder other clubs take the mick out of us.
And exactly how are Wigan in a slump? Top of the league with key players missing to boot. Geez.
