| Quote Towns88="Towns88"Myself included. Born in Leeds but live closer to Cas.
As for the daft celebration at the end, was more to wind you lot up I'd guess and judging by the comments on here, it worked a treat. Additionally to see pics of Wane looking devastated on TV again, is pretty funny for any none Wigan fan.
As for accepting mediocrity maybe? But its a hell of an improvement (not tonight) from where we have come from. Even when you lot win you're sore losers and probably justifiably the most hated team in RL, with absolute soulless, plastic, robotic fans for good measure.'"
I've read your moronic Wigan posts for quite a while - Please grow up and change the record you sad act.

| Quote Aboveusonlypie="Aboveusonlypie"The endless replaying of Ryan Hall's try on Sky Sports News highlighted one thing for me. The unconfined joy on the faces of the Leeds fans and players clearly meant something. The LLS mattered to them. They were desperate to win it.
Personally I wasn't that bothered. I just wanted a home tie next week.
'"
I strongly suspect that Wane and his troops would have expressed the same unconfined joy had Wigan pipped Leeds on friday with the last play of the regular season .
To win two pieces of silver is a fine achievement , all three would be outstanding .
I am puzzled as to why you aren't bothered ?
A sure sign you have trophy fatigue my friend

I've long advocated the LLS being given greater prominence. But I was just happy to get a home tie to be honest. I do recognise Leeds achievement, unlike many others, and it's good that you seemed up for it. Though in the end there isn't much between the teams over the thirty games, being level and with us winning two and Leeds winning two I hope that we can meet in a decider at OT.

| First thing they need to do is change the league leaders trophy to something that doesn't resemble a catering tray. The SL trophy is still the big one but it's literally like comparing an iPhone 6s to a Nokia 3210.

| The crux of this thread is pretty funny. I think you are taking issue with the fact that another teams fans would rather cheer a rival than cheer for Wigan. Does that not say something about the general view of your team and it's practices? I am a Warrington fan, and Wigan are bottom of the pile when it comes to teams I'd rather cheer for, Saints are just as big rivals as Wigan to me, but if it came down to cheering for one or the other, it would be Saints, even after all the hurt they inflicted at the death over the years.
And the simple reasons for this are that while Saints have their fair share of nastiness and petty play (Wilkin, Masoe etc.) Wigan have such a bigger amount of what i perceive to be thuggish behavior, and the very fact that their coach actively encourages such an ethos is the big no no. Comments from his mouth have sometimes been seriously silly and the way he asks his players to go out and do what they do sometimes is just unacceptable to me, and that's where my hatred stems.
This does not mean I am not able to appreciate the talent in that side. It's all definitely there and only a fool would play blind to the ability and skill shown on that field. Unfortunately the other side of things is what drives my opinion and outweighs the positives.

Pretty well explains my attitude to Wire, though I'm thinking mainly of the d###heads who watch them, not play for them.

I still chuckle at Westwoods one game ban from a friendly against Italy
If Wire had made the play offs and played in a final and Westwood did that now, how many games do we think he'd get? Considering his England career looks to be done I'd guess far more then 1 friendly!!
