Quote: SmokeyTA "As Leeds fan looking at that back-line you would hope for some success from a Moon/Hall partnership up against Gelling and Burgess, and Watkins/Briscoe up against Sarginson and Goulding.

That pack doesnt look as intimidating as usual, Farrell and Bateman are good young back rowers, but not the established names which would strike fear in to you, similarly for Taylor and Crosby, though i do think Taylor has had a great start to the year.

Its a big strong bench but not one that would terrify you with impact, but it will add to the way Wigans forwards grind it out and there isnt a drop in physicality.

If Leeds can match Wigan, or even win the battle up front i think the outside backs will be too good to keep out and Leeds defence this year has been brilliant and Very difficult to score against

On the other hand thats a big strong pack capable of getting on top of teams, Leeds missing Burrow and Aiton might make it more difficult to get quick distribution from the ruck to pull players in and get that space out wide and a good kicking game from Green and Smith would probably put Wigan in poll position in that case.'"


Fair post in all (except you have our 3/4 line backwards).

Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you! - Winston Churchill:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40515.jpg



Quote: wiganrl "One of these days Wigan might actually get praise from pundits and opposition fans alike for what we've done as a club since 2010 instead of swooning over Leeds, Saints & Wire. Despite being the current holders of both major competition trophies Leeds are apparently the best team in the competition, Yet that best team couldn't beat Saints yet Wigan outclassed out skilled and outplayed that same Saints side whilst finishing the game with only 14 of the 17 we started the game with two of which were forwards. Still there's nothing all that impressive about that, So far this season we have faced Saints & Wire from the very good sides and on both occasions Wigan were far superior yet didn't receive such high praise from a former Wigan coach as Leeds have. Every man and his dog can see that Wigan are a big game side the games I just referenced and then those 4 finals we've been in since 2010 and haven't lost in against Saints, Leeds, Wire & Hull. Though of course being double winners pales in comparison to Leeds beating Saints in the Challenge Cup or Saints beating Leeds at Langtree park in the last minutes. Perhaps Wigan are just there to make up the numbers.'"


I suppose you are still not impressed by Leeds after their win last night?

they was good but still think come the end of the season we will win when it matters. Be interesting a Magic weekend neutral ground and we can see how influential O'loughlin is.

Seriously...?

You've won a few titles and CC's in that time and you're kicking off because you don't think wigan are getting enough praise? Who gives a sh*t as long as you're winning trophies?

Don't worry, I'm sure the commentary team will have plenty of praise for wigan around october time. icon_lol.gif

In every game the SKY people only summerise about the winners.
It was obvious from early on that we were going to struggle and were unlikely to win. So the praise on Leeds was overwhelming, especially that all seven of the SKY commentary team were banging on about it.
Leeds were the better team, they deserved their win and their fans have every right to feel pleased after last night.
Any level headed fan from either club knows full well we are only 10+ games into the League and Cup season. There is a very long way to go yet but one thing is certain Leeds and Wigan will be around come the season's end games.
