Quote: ChrisA "I do hope you're right I really do. But I've stated previous that my observations stretch back to the end of last season also. Even when the ball sticks and we complete our sets, if one of few set moves doesn't work we look clueless. Will the return of a few players fix issues that were there last season? I hope so and I hope all the ones saying this are correct, because trust me I don't enjoy feeling this underwhelmed by what I've seen over the last year.
I know Cruncher and Co seem to be content, and I'm glad for them, however I look past the results and look for improvement, we haven't improved, from the start of last season, I think we have gone backwards and that view seems to offend people on here for some reason, like an opinion is a crime.'"
I've gone on record this season as saying that I don't think everything in the Wigan garden is rosy. I have doubts about Matty's ability (sadly, because he's a nice guy), I have concerns about both Sarge and Josh (playing well now - all of a sudden - because they are looking to leave maybe?), I wonder if we could and should fight a bit harder to try and keep players from going to the NRL (and certainly from going to Union) and I don't feel we've recruited enough experience and/or star quality in recent years (as much as such a thing is possible in the age of the Salary Cap). I've said all that before, and my views on these haven't changed.
But to call people 'happy clappers' because they are applauding what the team has so far achieved in 2016 (especially over the toughest weekend of the year, Easter) is the kind of casually scornful mentality that pervades the other online forum and makes it such an unpleasant place to be.
It's a bit rich complaining that being critical of the club is apparently 'a crime', when so many in your camp are so remarkably quick to call those who disagree with them happy clappers.
