Who's glad to see the back of this season ?

I walked home last night with a slight sense of relief I didn't have to go and watch any more frustratingly negative games .

Sorry if this offends.

Nothing offensive it’s how a lot of people feel.

+1. I said in the second half that it was like watching a much loved pet slowly dying.

Yes, glad to see the back of it which given it's only a month since we beat the odds to win the CC tells you everything you need to know.

Monotonous dreary "rugby" that failed to pummel the opposition but which certainly knocked my love, passion and interest in the game and team sideways.

I feel the most sorry for Charnley and Lineham who are just used as glorified props.

It is certainly the dullest style of rugby and attack I've seen in 40 years of watching and that includes when we've been REALLY poor - even in our darkest times we've been more pleasurable and with more clue in attack than this season. For that alone Price can go. Tired he says??? Well rotate your squad properly and don't ship decent players out on loan or out for good??!!

The way we play is the main reason there was a crowd last night that we'd have gotten for a pre-season friendly earlier this decade.

The team under smith could be forgiven for making lots of errors as we were a coached to play expansive rugby, under price it’s mind numbing 5 drives and a kick to king and when that doesn’t work we’re stuffed and the team are still making shed loads of errors it’s horrible to watch and if we’re not careful next year we could be left behind and not be involved in the play offs at all.

Plus me as well. Excluding the CC it has been a woeful turgid affair

In the style of the Dave Clark 5 here's mine

I'm feelin' glad its over
Yes I'm-a glad its over
Baby I'm glad its over
So glad we're out

I couldn't have taken another beating by Salford if we had sneaked through, we were finished as a team and as a set of supporters IMO

Sums my drive home to a tee. Bang on. Its depressing how the season has ended. No idea at all, no attack, no idea, no fluency, completely disjointed. The cup win has papered over cracks and kept Price in the job, so unfortunately, itl be same again next year im afraid.

I was thinking last night .

If we were to sack him , it wouldn't be harsh .

It wouldn't, i agree. The whole attitude of the club is wrong. Wigan wouldn't stand for a season like this, and there would be changes on the back of it. The mentality of the club should be demanding we win everything on offer, especially being the biggest spenders in the league. To go out at this point of the season is pathetic, it really is. This accepting mediocrity was evident last night. Some bloke said to me (who i respect, and is very knowledgeable about the game) said, 'well at least we won one of the major trophy's'. For me, that there is all thats wrong with the club!! I want the big one, the GF, the championship!! No matter how much we don't like the format of how its achieved, thats what you have to do to win it, at all costs!! As long a we just 'settle' the further away from winning it we will get. Singing, taking the out of our selves with the, even more now annoying, 'Always Our Year' chant, just breeds mediocrity. Its really starting to get on my wick now.

Its not just personnel changes we need, its the mentality of the club from top to bottom. We need a Shaun Wane character (if not actually Shaun Wane), someone who wont stand for it, will want to change the mentality at the club, only accept the best and more. Yeah Wigan didn't play attractive rugby, but it wasn't as boring as last night. They just executed perfectly when attacking.

For me, changes needed, but it wont happen!!

Yeh it’s been bits and pieces all year.

Shaun Wane anyone,I know a lot don’t like him but he always knows how to win.

I can only remember Hull away which seemed like a decent win .

The rest have been really scrappy .

Our two performances of the year The semi and the final were like watching team with no flair win on emotion alone .

Exactly Longbarn, nail on head. I think with the woeful attempt at the penalty last night and taking an AGE to take it that the players genuinely didn't want to progress or weren't bothered. Price needs to go, the captaincy could do with being taken from Hill as well, a mongrel leader of a prop is a necessity, the team also need some on-field brains from somewhere and hopefully J Clark gets homesick. Rabbitohs fans have been asking for him to go back along with Goodwin......I'd pay the air fare.

Moran and Middleton did not build their respective empires with sloppy decision making, but they appear happy to float up and down the creek without a paddle when it comes to the Wire. Its time for them to man up and start wielding the axe. Sending scripture from our very own oracle Mr Longbarn wouldn't be out of place for me.

at times they don't look like anyone knows what they are doing in attack....literally no clue. It's a squad full of mediocrity punctuated by some very very good players. Widdop will make a difference next year no doubt...but he can't play behind a lightweight, beaten pack.

They play a VERY conservative brand of rugby, no off-loading, very little open field running. It's all crash bang wallop down the middle... usually ending with a bang average kick in the air. The centres offer little if nothing at all to their wingers...who play like make weight forwards.

Patton is SHITE. Offers absolutely nothing at all when he has the ball in his hands. Nothing.

The cup win was a glorious, freak performance that will go down as one of our greatest wins. Current league form carried into next year will see us facing a relegation battle.

Lol my reference was a musical one in response to his Dave Clark 5 song, bits and pieces is another song, but yeh it does fit with the season.

Cant see me going to watch any games next season... Well i might watch the first... and if its like this dross we have been served up, i will wait for the next coach.

Hull away
Wigan in the cup
Hull in the cup
Wembley

Can't actually think of anymore games I actually enjoyed. Feels like we've just scraped our way through the rest of the season unconvincingly. I'm not sorry to see the back of this season

Thing is though....nothimg will change. The CEO pretty much said it would be a disaster if we went out of the playoffs esrly. Whether theres a change i doubt it. I hope some1 from the club reads this. Austin told me himself he does...so who knows

For me it would be naive to think someone from the club does not read these forums,tbh I’d be disappointed if they didn’t.

Longbarn nails it.

Steve Price continuing into 2020 is a symptom of an underlying cultural issue at the club. Its why after having a decade of resources available and big money transfers were are as far away from winning SL as we were pre-2010.

Waiting for Paul Youane to come on here and tell us everything is fine.

This club has accepted medicority for 10 years + nothing is gnna change now especially when Price is Fitzpatrick's man.
