| Quote ="ging"Wigan are on fire at the moment but if you watch closely, the move that is killing teams is similar to one of ours in that they have a dummy runner who draws in the gap, the ball is passed just as he comes level with the ball player and then is repeated a second time by which Wigan have either scored with the first dummy runner play or use the second one which is usually Tomkins receiving in the hole
Its really effective and no-one bar us have defended against it. It blew Sts & Leeds away but Wigan execute it to perfection with the timings of the passes. A second later would be called as obstruction.
Couple this with then aggressive defence - two men tackling and the third coming in low down (which still needs looking at) and then each man slowly peeling away in the tackle giving the line time to form and they become hard to beat.
Although effective this year, I haven't seen a plan B from Wigan - although they haven't really needed one yet. Our game at the piedome, we stopped them using this tactic of drop off deep attacking and they had no plan B, hence the kick at goal tactic whilst they scratched there heads. A good team with a good coach will stop Wigan. We are both and the matches to be played yet this year should be stunners.'"
----this--- plus some teams when they have played wigan have tended to stand off and show them too much respect instead of meeting them head on ,like we did at the jjb,also leeds looked a really jaded side last night devoid of any game plan to beat wigan,bit like st helens of late,yes wigan are a good team but unbeatable they are not,cant wait for the wire v wigan fixture !

That's me told!
A few pints and a 50 point beating of Leeds does that to a man.
Thanks for the lesson ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)

same thing was said in 2010 when we won the grand final, also people was saying you have peaked to early but we hadn't.
i really hope we get too meet at old trafford then the real bragging gets to start, but i can see one of us with the challenge cup and the other with the trophy and it will be a pain for another season.

| To listen to those clowns on Sky you'd think that Wigan were 6-8 points clear of the rest and unbeaten. I am quite happy with the way this season is panning out, let Wigan take all the plaudits whilst we chug along quietly on their coat tails. We have yet to play anywhere near what we all know we are capable of and there is every chance that arguabley our most important player is going to be back at the business end of the season fit and fresh.
I am convinced that we have at least two more games against the Pies this season, maybe three or even four. I can't wait. ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

By a mile? Really? We're 3 behind with a game in hand and took the pee out of the league so far by resting players every week. Plus you've still to play us who you haven't beaten in the league in the past 2 years... Everything goes to form and we'll finish top - not that it matters anyway.

As I said, try beating us in the league. Even Keighley put up more of a fight this year than your lot. ![Sleepy sleepy.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//sleepy.gif)

What would that prove? Eddie, Stevo, Phil Clarke, Barry, Terry, Brian Carney even Brian McDermott confirmed to the sky viewers last night that we are the best by a mile and no one can stop us.

honest question, but do you really think micheal monaghan will come back and still do the business for you? how many knee clean outs has he had now? 3 or 4 on each knee? i wouldn't be surprised if he retires at the end of the year, he must have much mileage left in them knees. how old is he aswell?

That's right. Home games at the DW are of no consequence to Wigan, that's clear from Sean Wane's response.

if we win the grand final in october then no we won't remember it. league matches are more bragging rights than too much importance these days, you guys know that better than most after last season.
will somebody answer my question about micheal?

You could be right and we may never see Monaghan play again, or if we do he'll be a shadow of the player that we saw last season (and the player that totally terrorised Paleaaesina in a certain game in Widnes). Alternatively he could, after a few games to regain his match fitness, come back as good as he ever was.
Honest answer to your 'honest question', I don't know, but obviously I'm hoping for the latter (and he's just turned 32).

| Wigan seem to be peaking to quick,whilst wire are just plodding along.I can see Wigan having a mighty crash come the back end of the season.It says alot about wires squad when we can play the kids and still beat teams in a convincing manor.

| Wigan last night were class. Wire havent even been great never mind class (IMHO).... YET
We are still chomping at their heels and blooding a lot of players that may well be needed at times later this year.
Not sure I agree that TS has specifically said "play at a lower level" to his players, that would be dangerous surely. Momentum can be a hard thing to turn around never mind stop.
However last year, We all ate our words (wire and wigan fans that is) and a lot of down cast heads could be seen as Wire and Wigan fans walked down the road come October.
Dont count anyone out as it has already been said, Leeds& Saints can beat anyone on their day.
People are saying the rounds dont matter either (not sure I agree) dont look silly with all this its a two horse race no one has won anything yet, have they? this was all said last year.
Enjoy the race its a long one and its good un too.... our league, our game is excellent and we should be proud that even a team as good as (inseret any team Name 1-14) can be turned over by the other big guns (inseret any team Name 1-14) in our league that aren't at the top and I do mean any of em.
Keep it up we are enjoying the ride!!!!!!
