To really put it into perspective, if we think back six short years ago it was a time as bad as I had seen it in my 25 years of watching Wigan. At that time how I wished we could be in a position just to have chance of some silverware rather than skirting with relegation.

As I type we've been recent SL champions and also Challenge Cup Winners, for this season we are a shoe-in to finish top of the league and in a good place before the playoffs start. Yes the cup semi was a shocker, but hey-ho.
We have a strong management team and the conveyor belt of youth talent is trundling along nicely indeed.

Things are certainly looking rosie in the Wigan RLFC garden.

We just need to not bottle it every time we play Warrington. Easy.

Yep, top of the league with the hubcap entirely within our own destiny and some people's cup isn't so much half empty as just been smashed. It must be an absolute joy and laugh a minute in some households.

i honestly don't believe some of the people on this wigan forum... talk about high expectations!

we are top of the league with two games to go and 3 points clear. we've had a couple of injuries to key players in richards and tommy yet we are still top of the league and had a decent run in the CC until we bottled it against leeds.

for me this is all about expectations and pressure. the simple matter of fact is, there are a majority of wigan fans who expect more the Wane does and whether its on this board or on the "terraces" to use that term, it will reflect on the team some way or another.

people should get a grip and be thankful we aren't in a much worse position than we currently are like a few years back. it is a game. you win some you lose some. take it on the chin and stop moaning and coming up with elaborate views which make no difference or sense whatsoever anyway!

so we lost to wire in the league the other week and have largely played poorly since (and including) the CC semi final, winning at a canter against salford despite playing poorly. lets not forget the immense work the team put into the season before this point please, as after all we are still where we are. sport has its ups and downs. there is not one team in the league whose form scares me at present so i've no idea where this image of us not playing well enough comes from.

playoff games are (largely) knockout rugby and its what team turns up on the day. if it isnt to be our day this year at any point then we have to accept that. someone has to lose out. icon_mad.gif

Not so. Waney said right at the start that he wanted all three trophies, and that we were good enough to get them.

Correct. And that is exactly what I want him to say at the start of every season. Fans want success and all of us, SW included (who, after all, is as much of a fan as any of us), want us to win every game. However, sport is cruel sometimes and it almost never works out as you want.

Yes, we haven't played very well the past few weeks, but we've won 4 out of the last 5 games since the CCSF pretty convincingly without really having to play well. I'd put that down to the quality of opposition, personally. London, Cas and Salford aren't exactly the heavyweights of the league. Hull perhaps fit more into that catagory, but they didn't play very well that night either.

Going into the playoffs, I'm confident of us putting a good run together. The return of Pat, plus the possible returns of both Tommy and Stu are encouraging signs. Will we win at OT? I don't know, but we are certainly more than capable.
