Not really interested in our league form atm. As long as we are thereabouts come the end of season and are hitting our best form then. Seriously i haven't been to the last couple of league games, they mean very little. The playoff system is great isn't it, 27 rounds of meaningless games and a small cup comp.

I think there are an awful lot of straws being grasped at here by
people not wanting to face the facts.

We are not a shaddow of the side we were last year. We haven't
played a single good game yet and are not showing any signs that it is
about to change anytime soon.

I am not a massive TS fan (I remember the World Cup in Oz), but if
he can pull off a win on Sunday he will go up in my rating.

Cats are at home with good support, playing well and on a roll.

We are away, not playing well and definitely not on a roll, with a lot
of players not having played together for some time.

If Tony can pull all that lot together and produce a win, I will be truly
be impressed !!

Thinking positive, with a lot of hope,
but realistic.

Eh, don't understand your reasoning. You say you are no a fan of TS but if we win on Sunday then your rating of him will go up.

How fickle are you, in my 30 years of watching the Wire I think TS has been the 3rd best thing to happen to this club only beaten by Simon Moran backing us and our move to the HJ. Yet if we win just one game on Sunday then he goes up in your estimation. Like I said how fickle are you.

Ever heard of the cliche "you're only as good as your next game"....

I take it classlessness is also permanent, then?

This season is certainly better preperation for play-off rugby than last years regular season was.

you should know!

Is that just a WIGAN word or can i find it in the Oxford Dictionary???

Houdini act!!!!

I hardly think we are in any trouble that we need to escape from.

Yes because we've already understood how it feels to lose to Catalans, Saints and Leeds so it won't come as a shock when it happens in the playoffs and we won't be called bottlers.

Last year we were smashing teams by 50 points in the league and we smashed Huddersfield as well. It only went wrong in one game against Leeds but thats all it takes, the Pies got unfortunately humbled twice by the team in their shadow, that was real bottling it.

Down in no small part due to playing a key player with a broken shoulder. Hopefully this year we will have more options of players to step-in if required with the necessary experience of playing at first team level.
