I really hope we have laid that one to rest now. Superb result although not the best performance with the ball in our half.

Bragging rights duly established and I do not expect to see Odemwingie on here until they beat Hull next week.

As for Wigan fans not staying to clap their players off after a hard game - shame on you. Both sides played hard and the best side won. See you in the playoffs. Until then 16-23.

Odemwigie is on the Wigan Site saying that we were dirty in the first 20 minutes, Myler was offside, Paaaaat scored, can't see him being back on here for at least 7 days. He doesn't mention J. Tomkins when Myler scored.

We didnt even play that well tonight, we can take alot from this though

Wire have really put a marker down now that they can win the GF! Going away to the top of the table and winning is a great effort!

What a team! We're gonna win the hub cap!

Who are you and what have you done with the real Odemwingie?

TBF he can be fair once in a blue moon

dont care if they do call us dirty they cant complain about the ref so they say players are dirty we won end of 23-16 no complaints can be made by either side win or lose.

Well done at last you lot. I LOVE the goons being beat.
Morely was superb again as was Shrek, Atkins and Riley. What a try saver.

I think, but hope not, that you will do us in 2 weeks. You have the makings of the GF Champions and this win and the manner it was earned will set you up for the rest of the season, we are struggling with injuries at the momnet but I'm not trying to make excuses before the game.

Well done again.

We have had a good record against Wigan in recent years so not really laid anything to rest.

To lay it to rest we need to beat Saints (how many wins have we had against them in the SL era...???) and Leeds, we went through a spell of beating Leeds every now and then but since Rauhihi day they have had it over us.

Wigan are very much like us this year, the surprise package and new pretenders to the top two, I don't think there's a Big 4 yet, in SL there's a Big 2 who contest the Grand Final every season. If it's a Wire v Wigan Grand Final that will show that the Big 2 has been broken.

Despite the fact that Myler was offside, Richards scored, we were offside all the time, etc, etc. All by you on your site.

Last night was a good effort ,but wigan will not drop 3 pts over the rest of the season so i can't see us topping the table I still think it is thiers , I can though see us winning the grand final and beating stains at home , next week will also be crucial as I think catalans will be out to cause injury to our team with the CC only 2 weeks later which is thier whole season in a match similar to us last year ,

thats a pretty much spot on analysis.

Very gracious of you. Although, shock horror, you have different views on the Wigan board...

According to the stats on SKY, we've only won 3 times at the Dodging Wembley stadium in the SL era including last night, so still a good achievement.

You can't see them dropping 3 points with games yet to come like

Hull (A)
Leeds (A)
Huddersfield (H)
Hull KR (A)


??

PS I've left out Bradford

Where's this 3pts come from ?

We need them to lose a game, when they lose there pts will suffer, at the same time, we need to give somebody a good hiding, say 30-40 pts win, which we're very, very capable of.

You'd think we're -200.

Hull (A) - Not easy place to go but we have a very good record against the Black and Whites so i think we will sneak 2 points
Leeds (A) - 50/50 although this is a week before the big semi with Saints
Huddersfield (H) - Dont rate them this season can see a 20 point win
Hull KR (A) - Can see us winning 'ugly' here when the pressure is on

Prediction, we (Wigan) will drop 2 more points


Im more worried about Leeds coming to the DW in september and doing what you did last night to us, if we lose we can write off a GF appearance as far as im concerned

Gaining momentum coming towards the playoffs is key, if you beat saints i can see you lot getting a great run and winning the GF

We shall see...

Play like you did last night and fail to score in 25 minutes camped on our goal line and you won't beat any of them...

It was a poor performance, in the first half, we dont usually play like that



You could probably blame it on Injuries and Suspensions but Ive got a theory Wigan dont play well when they are favorites, much rather be backs against the wall like the last game at KR, thats why im worried about the First playoff game.

We played really well between 50-65 minutes and if Joel would have passed right when he broke through it could have been a different story.

Does anyone think the game was reminiscent of last years game at the HJ?

Or could be blamed on the fact that you came up against a better team who wanted it more.

If you're to win anything you need to get rid of Fielden, the blokes a laughing stock and he is worthless.

Yes, i accept that point, you were definetly the better team last night

To be fair to Fielden he was up there on his own, when i saw the starting line up i feared the worst. Fielden is a confidance player, he had no chance trying to bust through with the lineup of props you had compared to ours.


Fielden (c)
Prescott
Mossop

vs

Morley
Harrison
Carvell
Wood

There is a very big gap in quality there

i don't want to finish first, we're doing alright as it is, both us and wigan have been the big improvers this year, so far wigan being at the top have had more attention on them, i'd rather let them finish first and have the pressure and expectation thats gonna come with it.

And us just be lurking about, just out of the way.

But Cat surely finishing first means you are the best and most consistent team all year. What an improvement that would of been from last season and previous ones. Che will be more of a GOD than he is now. It's unbelievable - Wire could do the quadrouple!

Wire will lose at catalan next week .
