I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

Must admit, down the years I've also found that self-deflective humour is the best antidote when suddenly confronted with stark reality 
Look on the bright side, you could be us! In 2024, a 38-6 defeat is almost classed as a moral victory around these parts. I am genuinely fearful of what Wigan could do to us, when we finally meet, if they decide to put their foot on the gas and don't stop for the full 80 minutes! It could end up as almost any score we can conceive of!!

I've got a sneaky feeling he'll be back after we get hammered by Cas! |

You do have a way with words Jake. Shakespearian even. Well done. |

He seems to have been gone for a few days now. Probably queuing for his Wembley ticket, wants to make sure he gets a good seat for the big day!!! |

It's such a shame. He had his heart set on a big day out. Like they said last year, there's always next year. |

Thank you.
Yeah, the LLS is a strange one. I want to see it as a major trophy. For the clubs for whom it is difficult to win trophies who have lifted it, it feels mean to discount it. But it is like if your mum bought you trainers with the wrong number of stripes from back of market when you were a kid. They were definitely, undeniably trainers… just not the ones you wanted, and nobody was impressed.
Part of me would like to see a 14 team top flight with the first-placed team named Champions and an 8-team straight knockout Premiership. I know a Premiership final wouldn’t be the same as the GF, but I feel that more games would matter more overall. And the GF has got more than a bit Groundhog Day imo, anyway.
I’d obviously tweak your narrative slightly to fit a Rovers perspective but much of it I agree with. I particularly feel that Radford’s achievements as Hull coach in ‘16 and ‘17 are undervalued by some Hull fans.
As an aside that kind of reflects how I’m feeling…
Number of clubs who became champions in the roughly 40 years between the end of WW2 and 1985: 18
In the roughly 40 years since: 6 (3 of them currently in the second tier, 2 of them last did it in the 80s)
Times change, I know. |

On their "secret" board they're saying that the semi final defeat is just a part of building experience as Peter's tinkers towards achieving the masterplan! |

As a Wigan fan I really do value the LLS. To be the most consistent team across the season generally means you've watched the best rugby more often. I know that's not always necessarily the case but, for the most part, it holds true. Most of the joy this season and last has been the quality of rugby on display. Games like the WCC or Saturday's semi finals were as much about the manner of the victory as the victory itself. For sure, we'd have taken an ugly win but to do it playing the way we did made it even more sweet.
I can't speak for all Wigan fans and perhaps it's something to do with the multiple trophies thing mentioned earlier but playing good rugby week in, week out (or as near as is possible whilst making sure you peak at the right times) and seeing developments in both the team and individual players is what makes the season.
I'd have to admit though that the trophies are good too!
