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 |

| Really disappointed with Wire tonight. Tbh the last few years I have felt a slight worry when playing them, like they were always physically stronger and they would win in the end. Tonight they just looked like a load of old men being given the run around by a athletically better team

| Lets be honest guys you all had squeaky bums at half time today thinking 2013 was going to be year of the Wolfs
Hard to call Wire in 2014. Some key players moving on. I reckon over a league season we probably won't be top 2 again. I think we will be around 4th or 5th but will still have the potential to mix things up in the playoffs.
Thought Wigan looked really up for it tonight btw, great to see the togetherness in the team, they really wanted to win. I like the culture Wane has got at Wigan these days, there are no big egos they work hard and are ambassadors of good values for Wigan RL so hope you enjoy your celebrations tonight

Good assessment, except Goulding's try prior half time is what really gave the fans hope as it exposed a flaw in the Wire defence. The culture at Wigan is what all clubs should aspire to. Warrington will be 4th in 2014 and dangerous in the play offs, beyond that they need to recruit or start blooding their juniors.

I agree. Wigan had a great culture with Edwards, Bell, Clarke and so on and that seemed to get eroded in the early years of summer rugby. It went from a culture of big stars who were able to rein in their personal egos and stood for hard work, toughness and sacrifice, to a culture of fairly big name players who were on big money and thought they were better than they were and were resting on their laurels.
One thing I thought was good at Wigan from Mike Gregory's brief spell in charge was he seemed to be returning the culture and values to Wigan and impressing it on the young players at the time. Then after his unfortunate illness the culture got lost again under Millward.
I think Shaun Wane has really got this back with Wigan, this double has not been done with big stars but with a modest team that has worked hard, even the star players like Tomkins and O'Loughlin have zero personal egos, its all about the success of their teammates.

| As said, difficult to predict Wires future. It seems with a couple of cup wins they were being tuned to peak in 2012/2013 to win a Grand Final. To be fair 2013 really should've been their year. Alas, sadly it was not to be.
Now some of their senior players are moving on it's probably back to the drawing board and the year of the wolf may not come round again for another few years. Shame.
