Their culture. No, not the culture of the town, you can put your Mum's skirt down. I mean the club's mentality. They are coached by a deranged gorilla, but no matter how average the players are that they put out, they all go out with the mentality of 17 Japanese kamikaze pilots. Ultra aggressive from the first minute of the season to the last, no a complete disregard for their health.

To come back from 16-2 down today was simply magnificent. As much as I despise their very being, we must learn to adopt their mentality. The aggression, the clinical execution, the never say die attitude.

apart for the comment about Shaun Wane never thought i would half agree with a saddend comment, what a strange night.

I think we used to have that mentality, when we were winning things. But we won't see that mentality under Brown. He's far too casual.

Crazy thing is, this double winning team with great culture only finished one place above us in the league table.

blame the system, last season wigan was dumb and went all out this season wigan played it right.

Of course, the obligatory cannonball tackle helps as well eh!!!

didn't know you could cannon ball a hip but never mind still won with a half back only able to see out of 1 eye.

Not sure Ratchfords legs would have reacted quite the way they did had the tackle been to his hip.

It really wasn't to his hip.

We obviously need to learn to target key opposition players with dangerous tackles with the intention of making sure they leave the field thus disrupting the oppositions flow.

That aside you have a point re intensity and aggression, the majority of the season our pack especially had neither.

Sounds like the kind of bootylicking posts we used to get on the Wire forum every time you beat us in the last five minutes to extend your winning run over us "we should copy Saints they have a never say die culture blah blah".

The initial contact was to his hip,that particular tackle was just one of those things that can happen in a game,personally i dont think there was any intent involved.

As Tina Turner would say, "Simply the best".

I can see Rush banging his head against the wall, what a beautiful sight. At least Eamon knows his rugby, I believe that he was one of the few to predict a Wigan win.

True and won two more trophies.

And Wigan weren't really the best team.

No you need to recognise a champion team when you see one. Wigan are the only team that could have recovered from that defecit and won with plenty to spare.

I disagree, Leeds have it in them too. I agree with the champion team though, it's probably the 3rd or 4th best squad in the league yet has won the double. That shows it's more than just the talent on the park come game day.

The remarkable thing is just how many players class players Wigan have lost over the last two years and relied more on the youth coming through and our Welsh recruits.
And we're losing more stars yet again now in Mossop, Sam Tomkins and Pat Richards being added to Joel Tomkins, Deacon, Coley,Finch, Carmont, Lima,Hock, Hoffman that have left yet the culture and style of play we have will see us carry on being competitive.

I thought Harrison Hansons tackle on Ratchford was 100% legal. He didn't target the joint of the player. He actually hits the hip area of ratchford who fell funny.

Why the arrogant big headed reply ?

I've not bagged Wigan once and IMO won fair and square. I'm just eluding tho the fact we only finished one place below Wigan in the league table as people often sugest we are total rubbish.


You my friend are one of the reasons why Wigan fans are hated more than any other fans in super league. Your the sort of idiot that only spouts up when you've won something.

I reckon it was a change in momentum when Warrington lost 2 important players and the Wigan Players grabbed the opportunity and strengthened there will to win.
Don,t discount the fact the Saints had a greater defecit in a cup final to overcome and win, I fully understand the Wigan Fan arrogance will ignore this as they are living in the moment. Congrats on the win.

Of course you are quite entitled to your opinion but I would think there would be majority against you on that one (not on this board obviously) it seems to be a pattern emerging of let’s say they are just an average team, but have a great deal of passion and heart that gets them the trophies they want, and if we had it we too would be back at the top. Sorry but that’s a delusion, you’ve got to have quality too.

How is that arrogant? We won the double. Fact. Get used to it

And another ...

This is the non arrogant edited version.
