What do you think my original post/point is?

Everyone gets your point but i think everyone wants to know why you have brought it up?

Your saying we haven't lost without him which is pretty much saying we dont need him when infact he's one of our best forwards for a second row the guy can shift and he's very strong he gives 100% week in week out

What I do not understand is why you needed to make this thread? If you think you have been vindicated in your original comments, congrats. Unfortunately the way you have acted has got a lot of backs up. Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, you did not need to rub what you think is a victory in everyone's face. Perhaps you wouldn't be "attacked" if you acted more maturely.

Personally I feel we have missed Hansen. If you do not believe this is the case and feel our wins whilst he has been out of action proves this, so be it.

Have we missed HH in terms of results? Fair enough, if you look at nothing but, no we haven't.

Have we missed HH in terms of the team's performance over 80 minutes in each of those games? Quite potentially. It's impossible to say for certain without a bleedin' time machine. He offers a hell of a lot to the squad when he's in it. He's very quick for a SR and is one of the best defenders in the league.

With the second point in mind (I'm not having a pop here, I'm just genuinely curious) who do you feel we have who wasn't in the squad when Hansen got injured "who can do what he can do?"

You're claiming that H hasn't been missed as we've been winning. We we're winning when Pat was out. We've been winning when Stu is out. Are they not missed?

The fact is that H, like Stu, like Liam Farrell and like Ryan Hoffman are all quality players that will be missed in some way by any team in the league. Saints for example have been winning without a million first team players (well, if you speak to Eddie Hemmings) but it doesn't mean they aren't missing them

What she said...

So I'm now not allowed to post a thread?

I'll explain. I posted it after the torrent of abuse I took for suggesting months ago that he wouldnt be missed. After win after win I decried to post my response outling that my point was more than valid.

This isn't the first time I've received pages of pages of abuse after a post- for example:
Discussing trying Sam as a FB
Looking to invest into Wigan based talent rather than overseas.

The way opinions in here are hammered, the way abuse is directed to one person is nothing short of a disgrace and should be looked at by the mods.

I would have never posted the OP if it wasn't for the abusive reaction it got the first time around.

It's not the OP that was the initial problem, or the fact that you have a different opinion from everybody else in the world. Its the way you have gone about trying to consistently claim that you have a case without it being backed up with any proper stats i.e. games we've lost without him. The name calling, e.g. 'inbred' isn't a good way to prove your point either.
Wigan have that good of squad depth that we haven't missed him. If he had played, we would have probably won more comfortably and coming to the 'business' end of the season, that's when we are more likely going to miss him.

I just think you're the kinda person that likes an argument and you won't back down even if proved wrong.

You are more than entitled to post this topic, I said I do not understand why you felt you needed to post it.

If you feel you got far too much abuse in your original post, perhaps you should have realised people wouldn't have took to kindly to this thread. Whilst I would never condone the abuse that you feel you have suffered, I fail to see why you would open yourself up for it again.

I hope that you will understand that although you may be making a valid point, the attitude that you make it with could cause hostility.

ha complete rubbish! sam tomkins is the best player in our squad by a mile! without him wigan wouldnt be half as dangerous as they are! he can create something out of absolutely nothing and no one else comes close to him!dont give me this roberts rubbish as he isnt fit to clean his boots. he had about 9 good games in the whole time he has been here! Fair enough we miss pat richards kicking when he is out but if deacon is fit then we have a kicker just as good!

Eh?

Where have a mentioned roberts? fwiw i think amos is gash

Sam is the best player in our squad but no by a mile richards plays a massive role some would argue bigger than sam but i'm not sure

The point i was making we can cover sam in the squad yes we cant replace his attack but we cant cover richards for his kicking and his hight and strength near the line

Forgot to add deacon is nowhere near the goal kicker pat is

What do you call this then?



So are you saying that anybody who disagrees with you is an 'inbred'?





What the fook has diagreeing with you got to do with us being 'from Marsh Green'? That's just immature and downright rude if you ask me.

I find it highly ironic that you are now crying to the mods about being insulted against when it's shown that you were name calling and throwing insults as early as page two of this thread first.

RLFANS is made up 99.9% opinions and 0.1% fact (Official Club Statements & Bilko's match reports), opinions which we are all entitled to make. But a the end of the day that's all they are.

Live with it.
