Remind me when we have been doing it since again?

As far as I'm concerned...people can boo all they want, they can cheer all they want. They can call a player a hero one minute, and a villain the next. Guess what guys, its sport! Its an emotional game. If you took the emotions out, would the game be as good as it is?

get away......your players had a proper rest at wembley a few weeks ago i mean Ryan Hall even took the pi$$ and had a little sleep during the game....

all this while we were running around like loons scoring tries and keeping the world entertained...

you sneaky swines no wonder the Pies Call you cheating filthy scum...

It's what you get with success. We've had the fickle fans for 10 years now, they show up at big games, get bladder, cause trouble and then slate the team for not winning (and some even have the gaul to boo when things don't go well). It was a lot better crowd when we were on the recieving end of wigans glorious days, at least you got the average supporter who wanted to watch a decent game and supported the club and players through thick and thin.

You watch in the next couple of weeks, all the flags will come out, people who haven't been a game since last years grand final will appear and if we do get beat, there will be boo's and a half empty stadium.

It's not only your fans who are fickle.

pretty sure you guys had a week off during the CC final.

Give over!! It was empty Penny looked embarrassed to be thanking so little people!

I dont disagree with the OP. Huddersfield have just got their full side back in the last month or so and have hit form! They did what you did to Leeds in the CC, didtn give them much ball and defended well when you did! Quite a few Wire players looked tired which is fair enough they have been on the go playing big games for a long time where other teams have had weeks off! And it was a game to far! It will take an awesome effort for a team to win both trophies under this top 8 system!

The only thing that made me laugh was the number who left! You give us so much for this!! Surely hanging round another 5/10 mins to show support for what as been an excellent season wouldnt have been to hard!!!

Usually Wigan and Saints fans that provide the banter on here. It's interesting to see that since we dicked Leeds in the challenge cup they've become very bitter and angry towards us.

Exactly, great post well said

At last, something sensible.

You would've been funny had you been the first to say it.

Sure you had a week off during the cc final

who's trying to be funny?..just stating the facts.

Have you ever managed to be funny?..I'm guessing not.

I'm always on the fence with this one. I mean, I for one was absolutely livid with the team. There is absolutely no room for complacency in playoff Rugby and we lay down like a cheap hooker for Huddersfield in that first half. It was fairly pathetic considering the examples we have set for ourselves this year, especially in defending the CC. As for the boo's, I've never brought myself to do it, and am happy for others to verbally vent my own anger for me. Who knows, it may have spurred us on to what was so nearly an incredible comeback.

As for those who want to preach over 'real fans' and 'gloryhunters' etc etc, one thing we all need to realise is even though the backbone of Wire support were there during those often barren spells at Wilderspool, you can't wish our newer supporters away either. They help raise the profile of the club. Just look at one half of Wembley stadium when we won the cup for christ sake!

I hardly think Morley, Westwood or any other player for that matter shed any tears over any boo's during the half time break either!

Players have emotions, I am sure most of them when they hear boo's think along the lines of 'I'll show them'

No one likes to think that anyone thinks badly of them, this year has all been about improving week by week and I suspect they will have been a little upset by the first half performance.

What I did notice is that Tony Smith didn't rant and rave, no idea really what was said but I suspect he re-affairtmed the game plan and talked about working as a unit and as he has said in this weeks video he was really pleased with the response in the 2nd half.

Psychology really plays a big part in the game, maybe we got it rong before this one it certainly appears that we wheren't where we needed to be.
