Well not getting to the Grand Final and becoming Champions sorta does! |

Correct. Agree with the playoffs or not, we all knew the rules. |

Shaun wane is not, and never will be a "Wigan coach" because he has no class. He talks complete rubbish to the press, gives it the whole "I'm from Wigan" cr@p that everybody is bored of, and then gets out coached time after time in big games.
No intelligence, no class, and he"ll take us backwards in the next 5 years. Watch this space

Jesus! Wigan finished top of the league under wane and made it to the challenge cup final, I think some need to chill!
If you was crowned champions for finishing top them maybe Warrington wotldnt have rested players in a number of games but at the end if the day Wigan was the most consistsnt team and that's not bad for his first year.
However, he mad a massive mistake in picking young murphy in such a high pressure game.

That's a bit harsh on Shaun Wane. Yes he has made some mistakes this season in the eyes of the fans. But when he and his chairman sat down at the start of the season they probably agreed that to end up top of the league was number one priority. Shaun Wane says that he wants to win every game - so he always fielded his strongest team (but only on paper). I think that it is clear that no one team has the strength in depth to win everything under the present salary cap. Shaun just needs to understand that and coach accordingly. Given our present roster changes I believe that we will see what he is really capable of come this time next year.

Irrespective of the above, I could go on about the transient move away from RL as a source of talent to the inevitable benificiary of RU, but I won't at this time.
I'm not an intellectual like you Brett but could you explain what this means in words you actually understand the meaning of?

I presume you are of vintage years ?
I share your historical memories too, for thats how it used to be.
Its not like that now though, your achievement at finishing top of the league has been greatly devalued by Sky, and ironically, it was your old chairman who brokered the deal all those years ago. |

Sorry Dai, last night's post was fuelled by

I do stand by the sentiment though.

Dont make me laugh, no coach sits down at the start of the year and says "I want to finish top", they want to win the Grand final, the showpiece event that matters. Quite frankly, like many others, im just sick of his constant bu1l that he comes out with in the press. |
