Quote: Cruncher "In some ways it's a bit worrying. I keep thinking this has been a poor season for Wigan. How poor must it have been for nearly everyone else?'"
It’s been a real mix bag kind of season.
We’ve turned out some awful performances this season, the likes of which haven’t been seen since 2006 or the Noble era – The CC defeat to Hull KR, Cas and Cats away spring to mind. Defeats are part and parcel of sport but capitulations like that are hard to swallow.
On the other side of the coin there’s been some great performances – Leeds at the Magic Weekend, Wire a few weeks back, Saints on Good Friday and even our spirited loss to Brisbane will live long in the memory.
I guess the question is this – if we win the GF does that make up for the real mixed bag of a season that we’ve had?
This won’t sit well with some on here but for me a GF win will be a massive achievement and one that I’ll obviously enjoy. Shaun Wane will have proven his critics (of which I’m a massive one) wrong and he’ll have proved the double season wasn’t a flook. BUT there will always that voice at the back of mind that thinks that a good proportion of this season has not only been unenjoyably to watch but frankly unacceptable as well.
My hope is that we win the GF this season and then we take a relatively settled side into next season. That inturn should give us belief and more importantly the consistency that many fans such as myself want to see.
