Quote: Ashton Warrior "Tonight, I am proud to be a Wiganer.
The season has come to a end, but I actually think I am finally seeing a decent Wigan team being patched together. Hopefully a new coach will spark that little bit extra into them for next year.
Its not all bad news, the younger players have stepped up to the mark this year, Flanagan (who is leaving unfortunately), Mossop, Ainscough etc - none more so than Sam Tomkins. Add these to the experienced ones such as Lockers, Bailey and Richards - and hopefully that final piece of the jogsaw will come next season.
Tonight, yet again was one stage to far but only by a small margin, margins such as 'did Sean Long' get that ball down?' or 'why did Joel go on the outside?'
Thanks for the memories Mr Noble, we was battling relegation when you arrived, we are now well and firmly back in the play off mixer, after getting knocked out at the last hurdle 3 years running. All the best Brian.
Ancient and Loyal.'"
In the cold light of day, you sum it up nicely, it was indeed a fine margin between victory and defeat.
But yes there is pride back in the shirt !
