Absolutely - great to see Wakefield doing well and they may even be dangerous in the playoffs this year if they can get the forward pack together at the right time.

Always great to see progressive clubs backed with some finance and starting to become the best they can be - Hull KR, Leigh and Wakefield are all good examples of that. Unfortunately other clubs have regressed - see Warrington, Catalans, Saints, Castleford, Salford. 


I understood Matt Peets point at the end of the game when he said he almost preferred Friday's game to the last few weeks. We've played an abject Catalans, a Salford side in ruins and a Huddersfield team at a ground not fit for top flight sport. Hopefully there will be plenty of very competitive games against Wakefield over the coming years.

Jesus you sound like an utter gimp and an embarrassment to the Wigan Club, that’s if you are actually a fan. Even Peet was gracious in defeat and what Wakey are doing. You’re obviously a Troll, probably one of those weirdos with about 8 profiles pretending to be different club fans etc.

At least I'm a gimp who's got a grip on reality.  


Keep calling names, it says more about you than anything else. 


What you can't do however is tell me what part of the above isn't true...


What's different this time to what we've heard before? Koukash, Branson etc. Moran at Wire has had 20+ years and just a few challenge cups. Davey at Hudds has even less. Salford big spenders to almost broke - what makes this one different?  Their owner is talking about doing it by 2027 apparently. 


Again, I'll believe it when I see it.  


Another check on reality - we can all live in a fantasy world and say "isn't Wakey winning the league great. Look how competitive the sport of RL 
is".  


The black and white of the situation however is this - no one outside of RL knows where Wakefield is. It's not a popular, or an exciting destination. 


Truthfully - do you think it would make the Times etc more, or less likely to cover SL?  Do you think more investors will plough money into the league if it happens? 


Btw that last section, applies to Wigan too. Luckily, for us real fans, that plaster got ripped off a long long time ago tho. People know us. We've also had the bounce and recognition of a Premier League side, track and field athletes, UFC, the Verve etc. 

I genuinely don’t care what you have to say, you come across as an entitled bell who if I was a Wigan fan I would be embarrassed of. 99% of Wigan fans I’ve met on here or in person are genuinely nice people, unfortunately you fall into that 1%. I sat at your stadium cheering you on against Penrith, I respect your team a lot and what you do for the game.  You however are cringe. 


We got the 2 points, we’re still in the hunt for the top 6 with nearly half our team missing. What does worry me as a RL is that a lot of your team will be representing England at the end of the year, a team that got dominated by a pack full of SR’s. Marshall, Wardle, Smith, Thompson, O’Neill, Nsemba, Havard, Dupree, Byrne will all be in the mix. 

Hahahaha 


How to say you lost the argument without saying it. 

That genuinely makes no sense, and actually applies to your reply more. Anyway, it’s 19:30, get your little Warrior Pj’s on, CBeebies bed time story will be on soon. Heard Tom Aspinall is doing a story read on it soon. Try get a reply in before your carer takes your screen time away from you for the day

Three replies, no points of substance or counter arguments - just a load of childish name calling.  

Well done to you. 

Tell me you’ve lost the debate without telling me……… na night 

I've not followed your debate on here but in regards to that point, I wouldn't worry too much. With all due respect to Wakey and all of Wigan's other opponent's in recent weeks/months, the Wigan players just aren't mentally switched on at the minute and the performances they're dishing up currently will be a world away from the ones come August/September, just as they were around this time in 2024, 2023 and 2022. There is no way guys like Dupree and Byrne make the England squad anyway but the rest likely will and they'll be extremely important for us. I wouldn't concentrate on their form as of now, I'd go back and watch the versions of them that played in Vegas, at HKR away or in all the finals they've played in during the previous 3 years. 


It's hard to not belittle just how good Wakey were the other night in being honest but the honest answer is that games away at Wakey, in Dewsbury, at Salford etc just aren't exciting the Wigan players. Matt Shaw, the RL journalist, had it right when he said they look almost bored at the minute. Wakey were brilliant, deserved the win (and the scoreline flattered us) and the work going on at the club is so impressive and really pleasing to see. It's a world away from 5-10 years ago and I think the new owner will look at HKR and think he can do something similar in the coming years. 

I take your point about the players not performing at their peak, but thats a concerning lack of professionalism and is unfair on the fans who pay to watch and the coaching staff.
