I can see where some of them are coming from.

Most of the games that are played, i just dont care about either.

I think this boils down to the Play off system more than anything, as that is where the exciting games start.

Wigan fans face the triple whammy:

They're losing.
They're losing gutlessly.
They're losing gutlessly and without a shred of entertainment.

Most fans can get by if the team shows a bit of flair from time to time. But under Noble they're turning into the Wimbledon of RL.

Just wait till the CC Semi and possibly the CC Final.

See how many are saying this then

If all the teams below wigan, apart from celtic win their games in hand. They'll be in 12th position just above Salford on points difference.!!!!!!!!!!!

And of course the "4th" whammy of having their rivals 4 points clear at the top and yet again favourites for everything.


Good times indeed

Biggest laugh in ages, the texts came flooding in, the smile didnt leave my face for the remainder of the day.

BLAME MELI !

Wigan are second in the number of tries scored this season.
Wigan have made more metres than ANY club in Superleague.

So it's not an entertainment / gutless thing.

For some reason, and we've sunk gallons discussing, it we cannot close out close games, I think it's now seven we've lost by around six points.

We'll still finish in the top six and then it's game on.
I'm not defending the playoff system, the top 5 was by far the best system, but you have got to play to the system that is in place regardless.

I'm hoping we get through to the elimination semi and Saints chose us. That would be fun.

I think your about rignt there, your points difference doesn't look like a team that have lost 3 more than they've won.

The tries suggests you've been entertaining but you've played more games than anyone other than wakefield so its a bit of a false comparison - especially the metres gained.

The talent is there McMagic proved your capabiliies but unless you get some consistency back and string together a few wins in a row 6th is all you hope for this season but you do seem to know how to work the play offs!

a typical knee jerk reaction by fans.nothing to get excited about at all.wait till wembley and the play offs,they'll all be back then.

we won by 4 at celtic,and some posters on here were calling it a disaster.its just a typical fans reaction.dont let them fool you

Scoring the tries is not always the sign of an entertaining team. You can score tries through barging down the middle of the field piggy backed with penalties then just power over - like Bradford used to be pretty adept at - for me thats still pretty Dull.

I dont think any team Noble coaches will ever be 'exciting' to watch

Richards and Ainscough have scored 30 tries between them this season, so the barge down the middle theory doesn't fit does it?

Oh sorry barge down the middle then cetainly in Richards case kick to the corner. Noble's Bradford teams were dull and predictable for the most part and Wigan are pretty much the same sadly. I'm not saying I want Wigan to win but I do like to watch entertaining Rugby and I do catch quite a few Wigan games live and on the TV. From my experience I would say Wigan have traditionally played a more disciplined game than Saints (although that certainly changed under Hanley and Anderson) but were never boring to watch... sadly not the case anymore.

23 in Super League, and I imagine a fair few of Richards' 10 came from kicks.

Having said that, I don't think Wigan are boring to watch at all - I think they play some very good stuff when they're on it.

Really? You must have seen a few games I missed because they've been pretty dull when I've watched them and I know alot of Wigan fans would agree with me on that.

A lot of our own fans have said we're dull this year too, I tend to ignore them.

The entire league is dull. They should show it in black and white it's that boring.

Where's that new positive attitude gone?

Whether you say it in jest or not, I agree. In the last 3 or 4 years the game has become a bit robotic at times over here, in an attempt to copy the the NRL. The problem is the NRL has moved on and has become extremely entertaining aswell as skillful.

Whilst there are still some good games over here, it's not a great deal by percentage over the year. Apart from the odd try, I an barely remember a try Saints have scored this year and that's because alot of them aren't that great.

SL gets better year upon year, this is the BEST EVER ask Eddie and Stevo.

The RFL are trying to keep with the Jones's all the time and when they think they've got the same, The Jones's have something else different so we are behind again and at square one. I wonder one day if we will ever have something the NRL instead of us wanting everything they have.

The next think the next brilliant RFL suggestion will be to have 2 refs and teams having the wingers in deep or do the NRL do this already???????

More rubbish.
Did Richards 50 metre try at Murrayfield come from a kick, or Ainscoughs second at the JJB.

I am sure Pryces at the JJB and Longs at Murrayfield did.

Take your Saints blinkers off.

Wigan has never been the home of entertaining RL. Even under Monie they were dour. Widnes & Cas were far better 'rugby' sides.

Saints [ihave[/i been dull sometimes this year. I was glad on Friday night when for the first time in a while I actually forgot the time and enjoyed watching the match because although we were dull to begin with, we perked up and stopped being dull. I've yet to see a dull Castleford so once we had perked up the match did. It was nice to see a perky Saints again.
