Just two points please... Lets get back too being the arrogant bar$tewards all think we are, and just treat them as if they don't belong on the same pitch... Most of these teams would be dead or amalgamated if it was not for us carrying them along...

The future is bright,
The future is cherry and white.

Wane after the Hull game, to keep the players focussed and motivated ahead of next weeks game simple said...

"Remember Lee Smiths celebration"

Enough said.

That kind of thing can be a prime motivator.

It's also good to hear that the preparation for the next match started the second after the previous one ended. Very much Graham Lowe's style

Great too see, we travel with the same defensive mind set and we shall come away with the points.

Interesting that he would focus on that rather than the disappointment expressed in Sean O'Loughlin's reaction to conceding the score.

Afterall there was nothing in Lee Smith's celebrations other than he had cause to celebrate.

I never realised Wigan had such an inferiority complex, there's no need really.

Always better to focus on yourselves rather than the opposition.

Awful reply.

A true professional player would not have gone with such an over the top drama queen celebration.

Generally Wigan need very little motivation to get up for a game against Leeds, but every little helps.

I'll go with the master motivator's viewpoint.

You weren't around in Offiah's days then I take it?



Smith's (and the rest of the Leeds players) celebration were typical of what you would expect to see after what had just occurred on the field of play in a sudden death, knock-out Cup competition.

I imagine every sports team (including those from Wigan) would have reacted in a similar fashion in such circumstances.

I agree.

Was you 18th man in the dressing room? Just joking.

Great to see Wane instantly putting them back down on the ground after nilling the side in 4th place in their own backyard. Onwards and Upwards.

But it wasn't Wigan who did it, it was Leeds.

Therefore, it will be Wigan who will be using it as prep.

I also imagine every sports team would use such circumstances as motivation for future games if they were in Wigan's position. I've no doubt that Bluey would had we managed to pinch that CC game
