This is not a diluted season. A dud season or however you want to put it.
You play what is on front of you. If we win the league. Ot will.be a legitimate league win. As it would be with the challenge cup.
If we win. We would of handled what has been put in front of us better than other teams in what would be the toughest season since the world war.
If saints win. They wont see it as a tainted win
If wigan win. They wont see it as tainted.. same with leeds hull fc. Salford. Wakefield laseford or catalan.'"
Agree with this but you know full well opposition fans would say we never really won it if we did. |

| Quote Dita's Slot Meter="Dita's Slot Meter"Many people questioned Wigan's achievements at that time, and still do.
Their fans rightly never gave a hoot, but plenty of opposition fans dismissed their many trophy wins as hollow - I think this season will be similar. Whoever wins it will rightly laud their victory, but everybody else will shrug it off as being pretty hollow.
One thing is for sure, and I think it's actually what many Wire fans are referring to with regards to this subject, it won't stop opposition fans mocking our lack of title wins if we were to win it this year - Many will refer to it as the asterix title and claim it will be devalued... It'll probably lead to regular and countless threads on here for years to come, or at least until we win a title in a 'normal' season.'"
I agree over Pies/90s, they 'bought' those successes to the tune of going bust twice, but no Pie-eater will accept an iota of criticism of those 'achievements'. |

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"So what happens if the Grand Final is Wire v Catalans.
The week of the final, a number of Wire players test positive for Covid and so we go in to the game with a team half made up of Academy players. Catalans win.
Do we accept Catalans victory and celebrate it as a progressive move for the sport to see the first French winners of the competition?
Do we fire Price for failing to win another Grand Final?'"
No. I have a controversial view on the whole situation as it is. That and the black lives matter thing before each match. And I dont want to be banned for expressing my views which seems to be the norm nowadays. |

Perhaps winning this year for the Wire would mean our detractors could come up with a different chant for when normal service resumes.
How about....
Covid was your year , covid was your year
Unlike the last twenty
Covid was your year.
Although the lywics could be banned by the BBC.

Easter eggs are very hollow, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying them. |

If we do win the Grand Final this year, will Price be accepted as the greatest Wire coach since Cec Mountford in the 1950s after delivering the Challenge Cup and Grand Final in consecutive seasons?

Of course he will...........until 2021 when we win nothing and fans demand he is sacked immediately.
But what are peoples view on Price as a coach ? It can only be an impression because in reality we don't have first hand experience to really know. With that minor limitation duly noted, he strikes me as a rather inexperienced coach who is trying to introduce a bit more professionalism and structure to SL, where in general the need to entertain and fling the ball around is more important than 'hunting the error' and the two points.

I doubt they will engrave an asterisk on the trophy, so a win is a win!

Plenty of football fans referring to Liverpool's title as an asterisk, or tainted. I feel it'll be the same for us

None of Wigan's past trophy wins get an asterisk saying *Wigan were full time and with a massive wage bill, compared to other clubs.
If we win the Grand Final I will be overjoyed.
In some ways it's actually more difficult to win, when you have situations like this week.

2020 is going to be a shallow championship, but better us winning it than Saints.
I rather have...”you can’t win a proper championship” jibes, than “ you can’t even win a championship under the easiest season ever” jibes.
