Wigan Warrior's Super League Champion's 2010 !!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_58432.jpg



Quote: back2back 09/10 "no i didn't watch that game. so thats why but just saying well done to them as after that drop goal a lot of fans would of left while they stayed today. and byt the way we beat harlequins 82-6 how much did you win by ? not that much we must be better than you surely! doesn't work like that m8 and you know it.

salford was a slip up and today was close match and they pushed us a lot harder than you did at the DW so does that also make saints a better team than you? come the end of the season we can see who is the most consistent team in the hubcap and then we have the pleasure of the play-offs were i can see any one of five teams winning. (wire,wigan,hudds,saints and leeds if they get form).'"


That is rubbish !! it was a close game yesterday because of the conditions and so if you beat harlequins 82-6 it doesn't count in the play-off's where Warrington haven't got the bottle !! Catalan have won more play-off game's than you and you have been in the super league longer so does that make Catalan better than you in the play-off's ????

At least we play entertaining rugby league so do saints unlike yourselves who bore teams off the pitch with your constant lying on at the play the ball and O'Loughlin clamping the ball as the third man. YAWN!!!!!!!

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg



Quote: lothlorian "tonights game wasnt nearly as good as people are making out. defensively both teams were poor and as wigan fans we would be disappointed if we defended like either team tonight. The game was marketed well throughout and made to sound a better game than it actually was. a little but disappointed to be honest. Saints were terrible and made wire look alot better than they actually were tonight. poor from both teams, and just because both teams cannot defend and let in plenty of points doesnt make it a great specticle.'"


My sentiments exactly. A poor defensive showing from both sides.

Deano G, if you keep saying we are weak psychologically, will it come true?

Yeah, we're so boring that we get crowds almost every week that wouldn't fit into your ground, oh and we're reigning champions. Maybe that should be a new song; "we're only here 'cos it's boring, here 'cos it's boring".

You [ican[/i be boring and successful, you know. I don't think anyone is suggesting they are mutually exclusive. Some of us just like our rugby entertaining, and games between Saints and Wire have been entertaining for a long time due to playing a similar style of open rugby.

Winning is never boring.

If we beat you 1-0 at your place in the cup i'll be made up and far from bored. The rugby that Wire have played this year has been very entertaining and your a brilliant side but if you don't win anything on the back of it i'm sure you'd all swap it for a scrappy Grand Final win.

As for Saints entertaining rugby I didn't see much of that last week. I suppose it's our fault for defending too well and not letting them play? If they're that good and entertaining it wouldn't matter how good our defence was.

At the end of the day teams play to different tactics and with different styles and theres no right or wrong way to earn success. If you can do it by racking up cricket scores every week then great but the bottom line at the end of the day will be the trophies and you'll always be remembered for those more so then the style you adopted to win them.

Oh I know, but thanks for the heads up. You'll have enjoyed the grand final last year then? Sometimes good, strong defence is equally as good to watch as long risky passes and running plays. Wigan showed last year that a cruel defence can go a long way to winning the league, and I found it bloody entertaining!

wigan had the perfect blend last year, they sucked the life out of teams in defence and then tore them apart in attack. For me gleesons try in the grand final was one of the best I have seen in a grand final, we played expansive rugby all through last season as was shown by us scoring most points in the league.

Spot on. We scored 8 tries v Hudds, they scored 2 tonight. The tries we scored were far from boring to watch. What planet are some people on?

Here' is a theory. We can't break the cap because its live so with that not an option we have to be boring.

To say that was boring is a bit daft, there was a 10 minute spell (first 10 of the 2nd half) in which it was just 5 drives and a kick rugby and that's it.

WARRINGTONIAN! EVERTONIAN! CLINTONIAN!:12094.jpg



Great Thread Gents - comical, deluded among many other things.

The OP seems to have vanished though, is he ok? icon_biggrin.gif

In all seriousness, it was a great game especially for the conditions, and Saints played far better than they did last week. Warrington should have put the game away before HT, but it was a test to muster up another big effort in the 2nd Half, and a test which many former Wire sides would have failed.

As for the high shots - I've watched the game over, and overall it was a very technical game. Both sides making alot of head contact, plenty of 'facials' on the floor, and Holding Down (Saints). icon_biggrin.gif But I'd put that down generally to the conditions and it being a heated game.

Yes it was a great night, but the League Table will be decided over the coming weeks/months, and most probably at the HJ when you roll into town.

Best of Luck for the rest of the season, and see you on the 23rd July. icon_smile.gif
