If you compound this victim mentality then that's all you will ever be. Last season showed that Wigan can again be so much more so suck it up and smile.
Haha made me chuckle that. Mick potter isn't on the forums as far as I'm aware!
Don't get me wrong, I like it, it shows we're ruffling a few feathers. If you aren't disliked you usually aren't the best IMO.

Post match comments"The score probably didn't reflect the toughness of it.
"There is a gap and Wigan are at the top of the pile. They are a good team and came up with some fantastic plays.
"We need to be better than that but we can improve. We make a bundle of errors, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves. We have got to be a bit more resilient with the ball."'"
Wigan coach Michael Maguire"It was very pleasing, especially after last week. It was good to see the boys doing what they are capable of doing. We will get a lot of confidence out of that.
"To see Amos Roberts run around the way he did was very positive for the team. It was good to see him back.
"Martin Gleeson could feel it tightening up so it was largely precautionary. From what I've been told by the doctor, it looks like it's pretty good news." '"

| Once again the opposition comes out with this trash talk during the week and we sit back quietly and do the job on the pitch.
Love it.

Long may it continue. It just shows weakness and desperation.

Exactly how it should be done.

I remember a few years ago when Huddersfield were the target of 'wrestling' whinging and Noble made some pre-match comments about their tactics - something like "I hope the referee keeps an eye on their tackling technique". As a Wigan fan, I found it quite embarrassing.
Potter's pre-match tirade was a lot worse than that and I'm sure many Bradford fans would rather he'd have kept his mouth shut. Especially now.
As for our coach, Andy Wilson (The Guardian's RL journo) voted him the least quotable coach in the game last year. Let's hope he wins it again in 2011.

| After conceding eight tries in today's game Potter should concentrate more on his own team's tackling technique and defence structures rather than talk about the oppositions.
Wigan RL do not respond to these comments and after the final score his remarks seem all the more embarrassing than before and that was bad enough.

| If any further evidence of Wigan's return as the top club in British RL were needed, we have the ridiculous hatred, bitterness and barely disguised envy being shown from all corners of the RL world.
Personally I love it and long may it continue!

| What Mick Potter said was out of order!, John Kear said it last season and so did Gary Hetherington (If I am correct)
Wigan being the champions brings with it extra crticism and maybe envy?, I just feel that these people can only get back at us by mouthing off!
That said, lets not take away the fact that Wigan were outstanding today, Bradford have a new team, but even i was surprised with the scoreline, I felt Wigan would win but not by such a margin!

23997_1287161421.jpg [quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

| I think it's great how apparently good coaches are having to resort to these sort of tactics to try and get ref's on their side. Aslong as we keep doing our talking on the pitch long may it continue.
Anybody see the poster outside odsall btw ripping off harry potter and replacing it all with mick potter and him working his magic against the dark side? hilarious
