If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

This... The SOL issue is a concern, especially for the league games ahead.

| Bilko makes a great point in his match summary that Wigan lost 5 of the top 8 lads with the most club appearances from last years squad.
If that happened to Leeds you'd be talking 5 lads like Sinfield, Hall, Peacock, Burrow and McGuire walking through the door. At Saints it would be lads like Roby, Wilkin, Lomax, Wellens (don't laugh) and Laffranchi (at a guess) and at Wire it would probably have been the lads that did leave (Morley, Hodgson, Briers and Carvell) plus somebody like Ben Westwood. Now if that was the case what do we think the outcomes would be? I'd be stunned if any if them fared better then we did today with the sort if replacements that are currently available to superleague clubs.
It's never nice to lose a game and it's even worse that it feels like we've done that without showing the real us but everyone can certainly feel proud of the way the team stuck in.

| Quote: Deano G "I don't like watching Wigan lose. It's not the Wigan way. But being realistic the game in the UK is on its knees... and yet at the time I posted a young Wigan side led by a clearly unfit SOL was fighting its way back into a game when any other side in Britain and most in the NRL would have given up. We went in at half time 18-0 down against the best side in the world on their own turf. But this young Wigan side and its great captain didn't give up.
That's what I was proud of and I wish I'd been there to cheer them on and I stand by that.
Fans of lesser clubs (ie every other club in England) should think long and hard before criticising Wigan fans' attitude. We've done everything in RL (including beating the great Brisbane side of 94 at their own ground) and yet when the chips were down we turned out in record numbers to help save the club from relegation. It's not our fault the game seems bent on self-destruction, that many clubs struggle to attract 10,000 fans to matches and that most parts of the so-called heartland don't bother to produce quality players in any numbers, whereas Wigan remains an unrivalled world rugby hotbed.'"
Ok. I made the mistake of assuming you wouldn't come back with a "my dad is bigger than your dad" comment. Silly me.
You have completely ignored my valid points and gone off on a tangent to try and prove how big Wigan are.

Your points weren't valid and I didn't ignore them and I don't have to prove how big Wigan are.
There's nothing wrong with the attitude of Wigan fans to the WCC game.
