In all honesty I can't say that I'm surprised on the result. Huddersfield were far more clinical and deserved the win. If I'm honest we looked lost and I'm shocked we managed to score the points we did. Thorn key for me was dire on the wing, our best forward was Scott Taylor and Liam Farrell. The o'loughlin situation didn't help but to say it was a major factor would've been a different result had he played- I'm not so sure. Massive improvement neede for WCC if were to give them a contest. Congratulations to the Giants!!! Solid performance.

chip above confirms the truth of your assertion. It's a basic universal law that when Wigan lose it's because that match means 'zip'. When Wigan win, it's a significant match.

Can't you just do the decent thing and admit that you were outplayed by the Giants? Every game counts at this level, apart from the ones Wigan lose, it seems.

Haha I love this, people are looking out for my posts now, brilliant.

It was said tongue in cheek after the banter on here.

But... Hudds played well, but lets face it, the bigger picture remains.

Yeah I hope Patrick is ok too... Bowen completely miss-timed his tackle, didn't look good.

But like I said, as it showed, tonight didn't mean much to Wigan.

Sooner have both trophies thou to be honest.

They just don't get this... probably because beating Wigan is like their GF.

.........for Huddersfield, too, I'm sure you'd wish to make clear............

it seems most wigan fans thought the game meant zip going by the walls of silence last night



seriously though if a game doesn't mean anything then why would so many people come out on a cold february night to watch it?

and thanks minnionwarrior,at least some wigan fans can lose gracefully and accept sometimes that the other team was better.

We were outplayed by a good giant side., did it mean much, in context of the league yes, you have beaten one of you main title rivals, but possibly not for the two cup competitions.
It's a bloody good job you were rusty or it could have been worse.

I thought Hudds played well, pack looked good (terrible about Patrick, I hope he recovers soon) they moved the ball around well and Brough just keeps getting better, bar his spot kicking.

On the other hand Wigan's pack looked over powered, lots of mis-communication between Sarge and Thornley wihch resulted in numerous tries down their side. Well done Hudds, on the night you deserved the win...

...hold on just wait a minute, is there more to this story? Did Wigan go at it all guns blazing doing what they could to win? Were they even bothered? Well yes and no.
Yes as in the players out there surely had to give their all... one would hope so, but for some reason Wigan rested their two best players (Lockers and Charnley) and only gave McM limited game time, were they all really too injured to play? I'm pretty sure all will feature heavily when it counts over in Oz.

Why would Wigan rest such players in such a 'big, massive, means the world game' like playing Hudds in the opening game of the season in a playoff structured league? Oh yeah that's right, cos it means nothing, more important to have said players back for games than actually count.

i'd pleased you guys had your day in the sun, I particularly liked the fact than in recent years you've beat Wigan at Wigan 6 out of 7 times, and from that, won the GF 0 times... shows what it gets you!

All the best for the season gents
