I will hold you to that one to the tune of next years home shirt for the winner. We beat you 22-10 with o louglin playing earlier in the season.

You are bemoaning missing your players who your coach decided to leave our having named one in the starting line up. (Those dodgy tattoos eh!)
We have been missing our "marquee" player since week 2- not that you'd notice given we are currently sitting at the top of the league!

Who?

I think he/she means Luke O'Donnell.

you must be on crack.

we aren't even close

I've been saying this for a few seasons now. Bet your life if finishing first means you are champions, Tomkins, Lockers etc would have played and maybe we'd have given it a better go. As the format stands, this is what we get. Wire are good at rotating players, we have rested lots this year and only time will tell if it was worth it.
SW seems to be playing the system better this year and hopefully we'll not fizzle out in the playoffs.

I'd love to go back to the days when every game matters!

Neither are you getting lads playing with each other week in week out- that's paid dividends for us this year- the understanding between brough ferres and Wardle and leroy and jerry has been a strength of our side in attack. And our defensive structure has been sound because everyone knows their role- especially against sides with structured attack. Leroy has played in every game this season and had a shorter preseason due to england duty- he gets better and better- hes made 450 tackles this season- Tomkins is a young lad who runs about a bit, and makes the odd tackle, why on earth would you need to rest him- and why for more than one game!
Either - Sam really is injured or wane knows without him you have no chance so is preventing him getting injured.

I would put Tomkins, Charnley and O'L as better than their opposites at Hudds. I would put Hudds better in every other position. You are clearly mad.

But that's my point. When was that? Even when Wigan were winning it every year in the 1980s the press didnn't bother with it. the only thing that counted was the Challenge Cup.

So changing two players out of 17 will make a 68 point difference?

Winning the league used to mean finishing as Champions. That's it. Now it doesn't, being champions is still it, but now you can finish lower down in the table and finish champions.
Being champions is what every team aspires to be.

I find this a little ridiculous and petulant, surely you can see how the league use to crown the champs, now it doesn't, it doesn't mean anything finishing top. end of.

I wish I hadn't had said the exact points, it's given you a free licence to be pedantic.

Point is I don't particularly rate Hudds, lots of dropped ball, slow movement on passing movements etc. Truth is, neither are Wigan minus Lockers and Sam, however like i'd once said, with the two missing players we're pretty much the best side in the league, Wigan didn't care about the Hudds game, Hudds did, if Wigan did Hudds wouldn't stand a chance.

Leeds, Wire are up their when all is fit, but not Hudds...

You might win the league leaders shield, but only cos no one cares about it. Friday proved that.

Not taking me up on that then last son of Wigan? With sam and sean youll not outscire us by 40-50 points put your money where your mouth is.

The sad thing is that no one particularly rates Wigan this season. They are a one trick pony with one move and maybe five decent players. It works against the lower teams but no wins against the top four says everything. I fear for next season because without Sam Wigan will not be near the top four.

Look at the Leeds and Warrington boards they are rubbing their hands together about playing Wigan

I'm actually tempted. For gone conclusion that we'll beat you, just by how much...
