Lots of people, especially our own fan's, wrote us off for this season.... But, we have a Wembley appearance guaranteed, and who knows what will happen in the lottery of the play offs.... We have got to the final in one "Cup knockout", why not the other...?

Cue doom and gloom...............

Most of the time, it didn't. Nowt new in the current arrangement.

Hardly pedantic to use simple arithmetic to point out the difference.

That’s just bravado, I’d guess it would be squeaky bum time for them too when the time comes.

Too true. The current top are all capable of beating each other...

...even if Leeds have yet to show it against this years Huddersfield team.

We'll save Hudds for when it matters

And as for us fans, of course we'd be nervous if we got you. No cup final for us so our entire season might well hang on that one win or loss.

I seem to recall that most posters were predicting - and saying they would be satisfied with - a top 4 finish plus a final appearance. How do you define "wrote us off"? Oh, and the possible reason "why not another" is that you have to play the better teams. Consecutively. And we aren't playing well at the moment.

For me though it's all OK ATM, primarily because I'm clinging to the belief that all will turn out well in the end. We burned out last year, Wane is doing things differently as a result (hopefully that's the reason) and should only be judged if and when we fail. However, if we have now peaked I expect IL will judge him harshly.

"Cup football" will always throw up results you don't expect, and in a knockout situation who knows, I don't think we will be out of the mix. If you think that other teams will be looking forward to playing Wigan, i think you are mistaken. We have an experienced team who have been there before, we are also younger and fitter than those many would consider the main contenders, Wire/Leeds. Hudds, "could do a Wire" and fold, but who knows...

You sit and "Cling" if you wish, i choose to be as positive, as i'm sure the players are...

Where did I mention other teams looking forward to playing us? All I gave were my recollections of people's expectations for this year as I don't agree that lots of Wigan fans wrote the team off (I won't ask you to prove it). Also, isn't clinging to my belief a demonstration of positivity?

Gladdens my heart....

I'll bet.....

Absolutely correct.

This sport is on its a**e right now as a result of the playoffs and no relegation.

I wouldn't sponsor it with somebody else's money.
