| Quote: The Ginger Pearl "Bentham did his best to keep you in it tonight but failed, your kicking game is horrendous without Brough. Im asking this as a serious question, not trolling, but do you think as a team you've grown to depend on him too much since you signed him? I dont remember you being that bad pre-brough, i couldnt believe the amount of times you went for power play close to the line on the last tackle. Like you were afraid to kick.'"
After Saturday,yes is the answer.It's been a double blow.As well as losing Brough's quality kicking game both short and long,it's also meant Robinson moving out of the dummy half role,and much of our attack this time has been based around Robinson in there and 2 & 3 options coming off him.A system we looked comfortable with.Robinson was moved from half back by NB because he lacked a quality kicking game,now he's back in there.
Not sure Danny would have made that much difference yest to the final outcome,it was about forward power or lack of it,LOD though a different story,he would have added a bit more steel,not to mention experience up the middle when Wigan got the roll on.
Good news for us Giants fans is that (I'm led to believe) Brough will return for the Bradford trip on July 17th.

| Wardle got found out last night he couldn't read the plays at all Bruno is a far superior defensive centre. As stated by someone else earlier too much inexperience on that side i aren't sure why Browny switched Cudjoe from McGillvary's wing because that was a very fruitful partnership. Wardle imo is not ready yet offers nothing on attack and as said there aren't many better that Lawrence defensively running round in SL. That said bad night at the office puit Brough and O' Donnell back into that side and it wouldn't have been that sort of blow out scoreline. Just as an aside when is the 'Enforcer' that is Fa'alogo ever gonna come to the party for us i haven't seen him put in a big hit for us once yet since he arrived and thats granted he's been injured for large chunks of it!!!!!

My daughter has been going for 5 1/2 years my son for 7- they both went to their first game at 3 weeks old- does the fact they are young make them any less of a supporter which is what you seem to be saying. Perhaps if I'd have had my kids at 16 and they'd have been there when we were losing every week then they would be better supporters?'"
Wow. Just wow.

| Quote: GiantMisterE "I posted a comment about this 'Loyal Supporters' chant after the crusaders game. It may be sung by folk who went to games at Fartown, but it doesn't make them any more mature than my 8 year old.
It's childish and will put people off coming again as someone will get intimidated by it.
At the end of the day, it is quite ironic that it is actually sung to people who have paid and travelled to places like wrexham and wigan. Surely, by default, they are true supporters.
Mostly, this season, the giants support has been great (comparitively speaking) partly because we have had something to be positive about. However, we also need to be able to tell the players we are not happy with what we have seen.
Would these 'loyal supporters' preferred it if people stayed behind and booed?
I really don't mind us losing to a better team, but if we don't turn up on the day and hugely under-perform I reserve the right to do the same.
That been said, I don't leave early, but don't chastise other people for doing so.'"
I think as a club you need to get over Fartown. At least viewed from the outside it looks like it is an issues which causes a bit of a schism and is keeping some people in the town away from the club.
As a Wigan fan who still misses CP, I know how those of you who went to Fartown must feel, believe me, but you need to get over it and stop referring to it all the time.

| Huddersfield coach Nathan Brown:
"We were well beaten in every facet of the game. We can't offer any excuse. We've been getting away with parts of our game now for six to eight weeks and today we played a very good side who are very well coached.
"We need to coach a bit better in some areas and the players need to improve in some areas. That game has been coming and sometimes it takes a result like that for all of us to put our hands up and say we aren't getting better and we need to get better."
"Wigan have got some terrific players. Sean O'Loughlin is comfortably the best British player in the game. When they dominate so easy he can control the game very well."
improve around the ruck area and our goal line defence which he keeps banging on about... we havent been improving for a while now and wigan showed that.

| I heard a fan shout to people who left 15 mins before game "don't come back".
Why?
They have paid money to come to wigan and if they want to leave early what's that got to do with them?
How we supposed to attract new fan base when you get abuse from your own fans?
You got a reaction from one of own fans by sticking his 2 fingers up to said fan......I'm sorry but it got the reaction it deserved.

| I had the pleasure of sitting in front of someone who for 80 mins, hammered us, not a good word to say.
You gotta question why some people bother at times.
Anyway time to move on

Do you honestly think that the team intend to lose a game- just to pee off the supporters like you? Or actually did they work hard fir a FULL 80 minutes bur were beaten by a better team on the day. Which do you think will be best way to spur the players on for next week- the players looking up and seeing droves of people leaving or people standing till the end and showing their support. If you want to share in the glory when we win you should be prepared to share in the failure when we lose. The next game we win will you be staying to celebrate or will you have already left I wonder

| Do you agree with said person not to come back to a bunch paying traveling supporters because they left 15 mins early?

Apply that same logic to the salary cap Deano, get over it.
