You are a laughing stock at the moment and you are not the "greatest rugby league team ever". I think that accolade belongs to the aussies. Oh and before you bite back he said team not club |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

it seems to me that it is the wigan haters that have a thing about wigan being the best, believe me wigan fans don't think that.
i used to take my son watching the great wigan teams, and he would be unlucky if he saw wigan lose three times a season, he now believes we are crap.
he now has to drag his son to the JJB because his son and most of his mates know that this team and the teams over the last 5 years have been rubbish.

We haven't become a laughing stock - we've been one for years.
Most rational people will have seen that we've been mismanaged for most of this decade and given the resources at our disposal have serially and seriously underperformed for a good number of years.
We've been missing three key apsects for most of the last five years that we'll need if we are to hope to challenge consistently again:
1. Leadership (not had it since Faz left)
2. Creativity (had it for a couple of seasons with Barrett)
3. A set of prop who put the fear of God into the opposition (not had it since the days of Smith/O'Connor/Pongia)

Sorry but that's not true.
We have at least 2 weeks of being the "worst club in SL" to endure.
I'm not disappointed anymore. I am angry with the players.

I sympathise with Hull fans, you've had to put up with the same kind of garbage as us Wigan fans.

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings"..
Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Quote: littlerich "Still revered throughout the game - that's why so many people enjoy having a pop. That's the price you pay for being at the top of the tree for so long. Despite your lean years i still regard your club as the biggest in the country. The first choice i always want to see out of the hat in a challenge cup draw next to Halifax is Wigan.
Small crumb of comfort but there it is nonetheless.'"
It's the same at every other club in your league I am sure. If you go down to aus and ask who the biggest club are they will say Wigan. Go to france and ask there, they will say Wigan. Ask the general public on this country and most will say Wigan. There are Wigan supporters all over the place. We are still the Man U or Real Madrid of the game but we have a naff team. |

| No I am afraid we take the position of laughing stock
Useless coach and lazy no good players 
Grade A license,a great stadium, a great fan base and a board who take the out of us..
1. Paul Cooke (not signed his contract)
2. Thackery (not registered for CCup)
3. Our Ausse imports (no Crocker, maybe not clubs fault) (Luaikai god knows where he is?)
4.Coach who does not even understand the concept of interchange/gameplan or anything really
5.THIS YEARS GOAL NOT TO FINISH 2ND TO BOTTOM, IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY FINISH 3RD FROM THE BOTTOM!! |
