You could be right and we may never see Monaghan play again, or if we do he'll be a shadow of the player that we saw last season (and the player that totally terrorised Paleaaesina in a certain game in Widnes). Alternatively he could, after a few games to regain his match fitness, come back as good as he ever was.

Honest answer to your 'honest question', I don't know, but obviously I'm hoping for the latter (and he's just turned 32).

to be honest its not as if we are missing him.without hitting the heights of last year and the players sir tony has rested im confident of a result who ever plays

Wigan seem to be peaking to quick,whilst wire are just plodding along.I can see Wigan having a mighty crash come the back end of the season.It says alot about wires squad when we can play the kids and still beat teams in a convincing manor.

Wigan last night were class. Wire havent even been great never mind class (IMHO).... YET

We are still chomping at their heels and blooding a lot of players that may well be needed at times later this year.
Not sure I agree that TS has specifically said "play at a lower level" to his players, that would be dangerous surely. Momentum can be a hard thing to turn around never mind stop.

However last year, We all ate our words (wire and wigan fans that is) and a lot of down cast heads could be seen as Wire and Wigan fans walked down the road come October.

Dont count anyone out as it has already been said, Leeds& Saints can beat anyone on their day.

People are saying the rounds dont matter either (not sure I agree) dont look silly with all this its a two horse race no one has won anything yet, have they? this was all said last year.

Enjoy the race its a long one and its good un too.... our league, our game is excellent and we should be proud that even a team as good as (inseret any team Name 1-14) can be turned over by the other big guns (inseret any team Name 1-14) in our league that aren't at the top and I do mean any of em.

Keep it up we are enjoying the ride!!!!!!

Seriously, four??????????

Challenge cup final
league
playoffs
Grand final

I'm assuming that's the four

We won't meet each other in the playoffs, Challenge Cup final replay, maybe?

Sorry,

It wasn’t meant to be a ty response. My original post was;



Please accept that this was the meaning of my reply to what you posted. I too had had a few beverages, and looking back, what I added was not the funny quip I intended it to be. Peace?

Yeh you guys looked like a real threat to us today

Like anyone cares about your opinion of us. Just watch the game and get on with it, yes teams do tend to loose and I can't wait till the back end of the season, then we'll see where both teams are at. Long way to go, so do us a favour and just do one?

You know something. Just possibly, Arctic Gorilla might be a really clever person just posting all the time like a really stupid person as some sort of wind up. Not sure what it's meant to achieve though.

Can someone not ban this tool article gorilla and im a Wigan fan talk about spuing shi##
im loving that you lost yesterday and it could of handed us the initiative for the shield but like others have said its october that counts
people have mentioned not writing leeds and saints off and while I agree catalan with home play off games could be a strong opposition

Yes, we should all pack in.

Wigan are CLEARLY light years ahead of us, and we should be greatful we even enter the same competitions as them, let alone have the temerity to beat them.

Some people on here need to take Mr Clarke's mutterings with a HUGE pinch of salt. He's clearly a wind-up merchant, worthy of TalkSh1t3 proportions, in the way that they say something mildly contraversial, in order to get a load of lame-brains ringing them up at 50p per minute.

We will definately meet once more (league) and that may be it. But both win our semis and we meet a second time at Wembley. It is perfectly possible (admittedly unlikely) that Catalan could pip both of us to the hubcap meaning as 2nd and 3rd placed teams we would meet in the playoffs, alternatively (again unlikely) we could slip down as low as fourth and meet you as winners. From there we could meet again at Old Trafford. Not so difficult to work out is it?
