| Quote ="LovesToSpooge"Unfortunately we saved our worst performance of the season for today. Played poorly and as a consequence got what we deserved. A 60% completion rate shows how poor our respect for possession was. Yet to only lose by eleven with a couple of dodgy try's thrown in for good measure whilst playing a poorly as we did, offers some crumbs of comfort.
Far, far too many uncharacteristic play's from Wigan today, from mistakes and errors to a lack of composure.
Never the less it hasn't dented my confidence of a GF appearance and win. Today just wasn't meant to be.
We went out to Leeds in the CC in 2010 which galvanized the teams focus and determination to win the GF in 2010, you remember right? Fingers crossed history repeats it's self.'"
Hmmmm. Don't know where you got your stats from ?
The BBC put them on screen as 93% to wigoon and 86% to the goons in the 2nd half or was that the tackle completion rates. I don't know I was having too many celebratory drinks with the dire fans which sort of sums up their hopes.
Anyway, how about being a little better than that and giive Leeds some credit?
Leeds showed everyone else how to beat you by playing with 3 props on the pitch and pushing up very qiuckly on your left edge to stop you playing that brilliant but very obvious move which bring you so many tries. They also attacked without fear and went through your middle so many times, it was embarassing.

I watched the match from the stands and read the 60% completion rate on here.
Leeds don't need to be given any credit by me it was clear for all to see that they were the better side.
They did generally push up well. But that didn't stop up us scoring in the same manner as we always do. It was our defensive effort that cost us today. I can tell you now, that was the worst defensive performance Wigan have put in this year. So you'll understand why I was disappointed with our display.

the only thing that's big about your team pal is that mouth your coach has got.
the job has gone to his big fat head he thinks he's wayne bennett.
the only reason he got the job was because the board didnt want to pay big money for an overseas coach.
as a player he was completely average.....he should try putting his brain in gear before he opens that bucketgob of his...anyway we did watch from the sidelines to see what the big teams were doing.. they just put you out the cup...

| Quote ="The Chair Maker"
With the loss of four senior players at Wigan at the end of the season. I've been of the opinion that this year could be their last shot at the big time for a few years, due to the side having to go through a rebuilding process. With one trophy slipping from their grasp, the players will be under a lot of pressure to make it count in the playoffs. Fingers crossed they fall by the wayside.'"
I've said on other threads that tge goons have managed to paper over their lack of recruitment last season up to now. However, unless they pull off a major coup and I don't mean replacing lulu and finch with smith, then they will really struggle, particulalrly if they pick up an injury to tomkins. Add to this the fact that il will now be working full time at Oxford united and pumping his cash in there, then this season could well be their last chance of silverware for a while. Heaps of pressure come play off time

Now your just making yourself look desperate.
I'll tell you what, for fun we'll take away the championships that Wigan won during the greatest period in our existence, that you no doubt felt were won on an unfair playing field. Even though there was nothing stopping Saints or any other club for that matter from matching Wigan's ambition through those years, well other than their own lack of ambition and vision. That perhaps goes a long to explaining why you won bugger all worth mention during those years.
We have the same number of championship wins. Twelve a piece. That is until I add the other seven that Wigan won, taking us well ahead of Saints. Making us the most successful Rugby League club ever.
PS: Rugby League didn't begin in 1996.

Nothing apart from basic common sense over not wanting to mortgage our future spending money we didn't have on buying up the league that is. We have our own shiny brand new stadium now. You're a bunch of rent boys going cap in hand to a rich Premier League football club taking second billing to some chav's wedding reception. All because of all that "success" you had maxed out all your credit cards buying back then. All our success came in an era of fair competition and a level playing field for all and will eternally mean a million times more than anything that your Uncle Mo bought you chummy.
Were those soulless, empty, meaningless shells of trophies won in a one-sided league of men against boys for a decade worth having to live rough on the streets of Orrell, begging a bed for the night and a cup of tea off the Latics now?

Full time professional rugby did though called Superleague, thats the new standard measurement. Pre Superleague it was a desperation by Wigan once they got out of the second division was to buy, buy, buy. All those memories are confined to a giant metal rugby ball in a supermarket car park. Desperation by Wigan to try and fulfil there fixture scheduling by playing secong fiddle to a football club and a couple of weddings.
Wigan have still a long way to go to match saints in the full time era, thats why Mr Wanes hurts being in the Saints Shadow, Cant catch us for Superleague wins, cant match us for Challenge Cup Wins, Cant match us for League Leaders etc. etc.

| First of all I like it when you change the subject because you realize you've just been pwned. And therefore have to change tack to try and claw some ground back.

Yep the fewer trophy's you've won really do mean a lot more don't they.

The DW's a brilliant facility, better than many stadia built a decade later. You'll know what I mean you've been to Langtree Park.

Finch, Leuluai and Lima are big spots to fill next year which I'm sure they're aware of. Smith won't be able to do it on his own unless they're going to push Tomkins up there into the halves.
Well played to Leeds too. They really took the game to the pies upfront. Peacock was absolutely immense in those opening twenty minutes, really rising to the occasion like the leader that he is. Defensively the pies looked well off the pace to their normal game which is understandable being two props light. That said, Thaler missed a couple of clangers but that's karma for you

Superleague is still in it's infancy in the grand scheme of all things Rugby League.
I don't think "can't catch" is the correct wording. Who's to say in five years time that Wigan won't have overtaken Saints in everyone of those comps. We have after all won three of those trophy's in the last two years compared to Saints...... well zero! So we're certainly heading in the right direction. And for all the success you have had your not really that far ahead. Certainly nothing that a good 3 or 4 years from Wigan couldn't put right.
