In previous years other teams fans have accused hudds of being inconsistent- no mention of playoffs- last year they were the most consistent side in the competition. So they've found something else to have a go at.
What it boils down to is certain Wigan fans aren't confident of a win so are getting in their excuses early.
Either way it matters not- if we lose- well using their logic it's because it's an unimportant fixture we aren't bothered about and are using it as our second friendly before our week off. So I don't expect said Wigan fans will be on here doing any bragging after........will they............'"
Personally I'm very confident of Wigan winning trophies this season, far more than last. I think with the talent and depth to our squad , winning the LLS, CC and GF are a genuine possibility. We can afford to rest top players and still beat lesser teams.
If we beat Hudds on Fri good, obviously, but if we lose what does it actually mean in the grand scheme of things?Nothing.

Not my fault, I didn't make it this way, the RL did with the introduction of the playoff system. Do you have to win all your league games to finish as GF winners? No.

we won the league.... I'm quite happy with that we might not be champions but we won the LLS showing that we were the most consistent team through out the year so IMO we are the real champions as you'll see on Friday when we make your fans leave early AGAIN

You only won the league as better teams don't value winning the league as much as the GF. When it came to the crunch you were cast aside firstly by Wigan and then Warrington. If you were truly the best team than wouldn't have happened now would it?
Surely you would have been able to beat both teams when it mattered wouldn't you?

Haha! Really? What did you achieve last year compared to Wigan? Playoffs come aorund, win when it matters, who won again?
Who would the CC?
Who won the GF?
Didn't Wigan win both major trophies?

Your arrogance and stupidity are what give Wigan fans a bad name.
Consider this; In 2012 after winning the LLS we lost to Leeds in the final playoff in the last 10 minutes. In 2013 we won the GF. (We also won the Challenge Cup after beating Widnes/Hull KR/London and Hull - the easiest route to success anyone can remember - in other words if Huddersfield had that lucky draw they too would have won - so would any of the top 4)
In 2013 Huddersfield won the LLS and lost to Warrington in the last 10 minutes of the final playoff.
Unlike Wigan who have lost their best player and Wire who have lost their best player Huddersfield have strengthened.
Your words are "genuine threat". Huddersfield have beaten every other team in the league on a regular basis over the last two or three years. To write a team off as offering no threat isn't just arrogant it's plain stupid.

Don't get all upperty. Facts are facts.
Wigan won the double, Hudds didn't, end of.
It's all opinion on how this season will pan out, personally I feel Wigan are stronger this season than last, even without Sam.
I'm happy to stand by my comments.
Wigan won the double.
Wigan beat Hudds when it mattered.
You don't need to win every game to be crowned GF champs at the end of the season.
The WCC is far more important that Hudds on Friday night.
Even if we lose to Hudds it doesn't mean anything in terms of who'll win the GF come Oct.

| I actually don't have a problem with Hudds, they're a good team with some entertaining players to watch. I feel I've hit a nerve with my blunt approach, yes I do think Wigan are better and yes I do think Leeds, Wire are more of a threat to Wigan defending their titles. People can agree or disagree.
Wigan had a great season last year, they did the double beating Hudds along the way in the playoffs. I do think the WCC is more important to Wigan; how can it not be? Than Hudds on Friday, and I don't think the outcome will play a part on who wins the GF come Oct.
Best of luck to Hudds...
