And last but not least, to all those people who wrote this team off. To all those people who critisized this team...tonight's for you. K. Sinfield, GF 2011:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45465.jpg



I think most Wigan fans saw this coming. Not seen so few away supporters at Headingley (Catalans aside) for many years. Almost felt sorry for them, almost.

Defence was abysmal.
Forwards we're non-existent again, we kicked from our own 30m nearly every set.
The decision to play Farrell was an awful one in hindsight.
Leeds got some very lucky bounces of the ball. Nearly everything they tried came off.

Anyone that's watched us for the last 6 months saw it coming.

Quote: Wigan6/Leeds1 Andy "Not one player in that team has a rugby brain. Briscoe had zero pressure put on him tonight - brainless. The sooner Leuluai joins the coaching team the better.

The less said about the one on one tackling the better - it would embarrass a pub team.'"


Would you want him on the training team I would not no idea has a player will have no idea coaching need a fresh set up, we have got the players.

Disappointing display but not a surprising result.
The camp seem intent on just playing for the CC and seem oblivious to discontent on the terraces and in the pubs. Hope they enjoy "their" weekend as they are watched by probably the lowest number of Wigan fans since WW2 at a Wembley final.
Wish we had 15 other players with the heart and brains of ST and Davies as the rest last night were average to rank. Davies is the best player at the club by a mile at the moment and ST thankfully is returning to somewhat near his best.
We need a significant injection of new blood in the squad and a whole new approach on the coaching front. Don't think for one second that this will happen so we get another season of grind, wrestle and d.

What about Bateman and Lockers.

I've been saying this since early June, when it was clear as daylight that the squad didn't have a regular performance in them. They've managed to scrape their way to Wembley, and that is the best they could hope for. No doubt the next two home games against Huddersfield & Salford will be turgid affairs, and the remaining 4 fixtures after the CC Final will be dead rubbers.

Changes need to be made off the field at the end of the season. Scraping into the top 8 isn't acceptable for this club.

In sport, things happen. Teams have bad seasons for various reasons. Leeds did it last year, Chelsea the year before but came back champions.
Wigan have been in the last 4 grans finals and won 2. We all know we'd have beat Saints in the 'Flower' final and we lost the one to Leeds because of a try from a knock on that wasn't given.
We are the current champions and world champions and are in the final of the challenge cup in 3 weeks! If that isn't good enough because we've not thrown the ball about enough go and watch Cas!
This season hasn't been great but in 35 years watching Wigan I've never known a season like it for injuries and whilst it is not an excuse for everything it certainly mitigates some issues for me.

At the start of the season I'd have taken WCC and CC and given the season we've had I'd say it's quite a successful year, although I'd rather have won the GF.

Im sure I'll be in a small minority but sweeping changes to coaching staff and players is not needed. A bit of luck is what we need, that's all and we'll be there or there abouts again next season. Bring on the abuse!

Quote: Ashton Bears "What about Bateman and Lockers.'"


I thought Lockers was abysmal tbh. Lazy errors and a general lack of urgency. Even Bateman didn't seem to want to get too involved in defence although he was the only forward for us who carried the ball well.

Some were worst then others (Gelling, Leuluai, Sutton and Burgess being particularly poor for me) but I only though young Davies came out of the game with credit. He is an absolute workaholic and his attitude is fantastic. A few of the other playetsxgot shown up by him last night.

Your right you are in the small minority, the club needs freshening up from top to bottom. Forget if it's been a successful season or not, for the good of the club changes must be made on both playing front and coaching. At this moment in time we as a club are dying on our feet, in 40yrs of watching Wigan I've never seen as much discontent among the fans, the do gooders will still say we've won a wcc and are in the cc final but the truth is we are in the entertainment business and quite frankly we are far from being entertained. The chairman and chief exec are more concerned about the Wigan name rather than the product they are supplying, would McDonald's or KFC reduce the quality of product to promote their name, the answer is no they wouldn't because the product is what gave them their name in the first place.

Get a grip ffs. You make some valid points; there are definitely improvements needed in the playing ranks and some fresh ideas in the coaching, although Wane doesn't need replacing for that to happen nor should he be, but you ruin your argument with sh*te like "the club is dying on its feet". If our club is dying then there's no hope for anyone else in this sport.
