39110_1363272058.jpg 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

Same as usual. Tough defence, good distribution and he ran at the right times and even won a few pens. Played really well. I would love to see him take on the line and draw the marker a bit more though.

Had an excellent game, I thought. Defensively, he's always good, but his decision making in attack gets better every game, and he usually picks the right time to scoot.
Forward passes seem to creeping into all hookers games these days, maybe because refs are letting them go? Diskin gave at least as many, as did the hookers in the two televised games over the weekend.

He's a tough little bug*er isn't he and his game is coming on leaps and bounds. He's always needed just a run of games clear of injury to further his career and touch wood he should get that this season.
On the point of his kicking game it's better then either Leuluai's or Sams and he should be doing it more often. It also helps when a linesman misses the ball bouncing out on the full off one of your kicks

| I was impressed with the turnout considering the weather. I think it was the most full I've seen it when I've visited Odsal.

| Impressed with the boys today, they played well. The forwards for me were so impressive in standing up to quite a big Bradford team in whole, and letting the backs get the plaudits with the scoring.
But its so good to no that there is so much yet to come from them, and we are only going to get stronger this year.

Seemed to thin out a bit towards the end...
(can't blame them, to be fair, it was a tad chilly)

Just been on. Will probably be in the loop now though.
EDIT Offiah is on at 9-30 reviewing the weekends action too.
The passing looked very slick close up and Tommys try was superb.

Well, apart from Hull KR obviously. If they'd been at Odsal today then the crowd would have been 2,012,000 or thereabouts....

Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

| I think both sets of fans were a credit to the clubs today. The weather was freezing!, but it was still a good turn out from both sets. 15,000 or whatever it was officially, is pretty damned amazing considering the weather, and the fact that we was unsure the game was on until this morning. Superb

41238.gif THE ONE AND ONLY "LATICS" ,

Oldham Athletic v Man Utd 28th Dec 1975

| Quote: Mick Gledhill "Where do I start on the game?
Well I'll start with that I'm pretty certain that I've just seen one of the two sides that will be at Old Trafford on the 8th of October, a side who were absolutely disciplined from the word go and defended like a side that carries the favourites tag.
Despite the score it's very misleading as for long periods in both halfs we had consecutive sets of six on the Wigan line as we either forced the error from the kick or the kick it's self being perfectly timed and weighted to force one of the three Wigan goal line drop outs.
We came up against a very disciplined and determined Wigan defence that scrambled back superbly for which the ebst example being the first half where Kearney had broke the Wigan line only for Tomkins to turn and scramble back to haul Kearney down just millimetres from the Wigan try line and even go on better in making Kearney lose possession, giving Wigan the ball back.
In attack we were very lackluster and naive at times which I'm not going to blame too much on injuries but when you have Sykes at stand off and Kearney who isn't used to playing scrum half then we were always going to be lacking in the attacking flare department, which was pretty much evident from the word go with the scootd from dummy half and the basic one man Rugby League up the middle of the field, which was never going to unlock the holes in a well drilled and committed Wigan backline.
Yes Shad Royston had a try chalked off by the officials after only 90 seconds with referee Bentham saying that Walker amongst others being inside the 10m from the Kearney bomb.
I have no qualms about the above incident or the disallowed Nick Scruton try on 33 minutes where following another Kearney bomb into the freezing Odsal air saw Royston palm the ball forward as he competed with Sam Tomkins for the ball before the forward trajectory landed the ball into Scruton's hands.
Another day and with a bit more luck we would have had three tries in that first half, but went in at half time 26-0 down, which was very frustrating.
The opening ten minutes of the second half saw what we can do against the top sides as we had the forward momentum and were slowly pegging Wigan back inside there own half as the link up play between Sykes and Kearney started to work but after the two quickfire tries from Elliot Whitehead and Patrick Ah Van (great kick to the corner from Sykes and an equally great take by Ah Van) we seemed to lose the momentum that we had built up (no doubt helped by Mick Potters half time team talk).
This failure to convert possession into points in both halfs ultimately cost us the game, as did the fitness at the end of the game as Darrell Goulding, Amos Roberts and the MOM of the game for mine Sam Tomkins ran riot out wide and more so down that left hand channel, exposing the defensive weaknesses of Patrick Ah Van as Wigan scored 18 points in the final ten minutes.
So on the face of it not much expansive and entertaining play coming from this 2011 Bradford side but we did have our moments and the score really doesn't show a true reflection of how close it was at times.
Wigan win only there 6th game at Odsal in the summer era since 1996 and out of all the games where they have been the victors, I think this one was bar far the most impressive.
The try of the game has to be the Liam Farrell score just before half time. Some truly amazing keep the bay alive in the tackle play that from my Rugby League supporting view was a sublime a try as they come.
Well done Wigan and I'll be cheering you on next Sunday at the DW in the World Club Challenge.
P.S You brought around 2,000/2,300 which is nothing short of amazing when you think that the game was in doubt this morning and they certainly made themselves heard.'"
Well Mick fair assessment but what about " summer era " I've only just thawed out, not much cover at the top of your away end, have a good season.

We can all but dream that the Odsal Sporting Village comes off
I was sat in the main stand and my fingers were numb at half time, so I had to run to the toilets and turn the hot water tap on asap to thaw them.
I'll be at the DW on Sunday cheering you on, although I hope the Aussie referee (whoever it is this year) doesn't hold up play too much as I have to catch the 21:36 from Wallgate to Victoria to make the last train back to Bradford.
