Id've been cheering you on next week if you'd have won on Friday

According to your board your lot are planning to bring a banner to our place to poke fun next season.
So I doubt any Wiganer would cheer us on.

Yes, a nice anniversary banner, how very kind of them

We should be flattered I guess

against saints???

Don't act like you are surprised. There is no rivalry between Wigan and Saints any more, it's the friendly derby.

I will look forward to next Saturdays friendly derby then.

At least I now know who to support next week then. Come on you Saaaiiints.

dropkick murphy you would rather watch wire when we never even got in the play offs, but you say your gutted ever year we don't win the grand final, how does that make sense. Friday was one top game, if you want to watch a bad game and win you should try watching football.

Just following up on my earlier mail about the final (Page 6).

Great game to watch. First half defensive effort was even better then I remembered.
TS gracious in defeat at the end
Wane's performance was mixed, but his observation about ''strange'' reffereeing decisions in the second half 'against Wigan' was simply ludicrous and came across as sour grapes.
What a whinger. He went down in my estimation - a long way.

2 other points.
Farrell is a nasty piece of work and got away with several things that should have been penalized. He needs sorting out next year.
Tompkins also is not a favourite player of mine either - loved the 'swing low' song from the fans.

O'Loughlin - for all his detractors - showed what a class act he was.
Burgess took his try well - it still needed scoring.

Difficult to say who our mom was - Ratch and Monas certainly were up there, but there were great stints throughout the team.

Now we've lost Monas but at least it's not on the scale of last year.

A fair summary fez1. For me the problem we have is lack of pace, both our wingers are slow and find it difficult to beat a man. Joel is a fantastic try scorer but slower than slow. I am hoping that we can find some pace in the off season.

Lack of size and lack of pace. Too many of our lads are too easily brought down/pushed back, we don't have enough players with pace (backs included, and we actually have no pace in the pack).

Joel is not the world's fastest winger but he's not 'slow'. In any event, if you [icould [/ifind a faster winger would you seriously drop someone who scored 32 tries this season simply because the other bloke had more speed? Neither Joel nor Rhys Evans was put in a gap once on Friday, so had no opportunity to show pace anyway. Evans recently outpaced Tom Briscoe over 80 metres (try was disallowed due to a knock-on) in the home game against Leeds. Is that 'slow'?

Now that the dust has settled a bit, how do people feel about the issue which over the season has probably attracted more discussion on here than any other - namely the half-backs? Can we go with the players we have to win next season? It's the one area where I still have doubts.
