I started a thread there last week and it was deleted, simply stating we were coming for revenge on Friday.

Can someone else start a thread about this over there please ?

I wasnt seeking conflict, wanted to talk about the game, but the lad mclaren there seems to be some sort of dictator

Not really interested in revenge but it would be nice to put a few little questions asked of us to bed and put in a really strong preformence. If the weather is dry I really can't see past us with the form we showed on Friday and the fact that Leeds could well have half an eye on the cup semi final the week after.

Just give me the win and I'll be happy. It will of course silence a few critics, as well as cementing are spot at the top of the table even more.

How is it revenge? League game v Cup game?? We are out they are in.

Stupid reason for wanting to win, usually motivation by revenge usually breed lack of control where all that is needed from wigan is to play to their strengths

They'll just say we only won cos Leeds were focused on the cup

that'll probably be Leeds' excuse for struggling to beat Salford today.

our excuse for losing to Leeds in the cup is that we were focused on the league

Congratulations on finishing above Leeds on the league ladder this season.

I hope this doesn't signal the end of your season.

You'll have to wait at least another year to avenge your Challenge Cup defeat though.

Time flies when you're having fun.

I would class it as revenge. The whole experience at Leeds left a bad taste in the mouth - Senior kicking out, Farrell sin bin, Peacock high tackles, abuse from the Leeds players, Bentham, paying top whack to be p---ed on for 2 hours.

Let them have it!

How sorry I feel for you!

Bless.

I wouldnt call it revenge but a good performance and win this weekend will really kick start us even more I think especially after losing to Saints and Dire in our last 2 games with the big teams, although we did walk all over Hull.

Just two points please... Lets get back too being the arrogant bar$tewards all think we are, and just treat them as if they don't belong on the same pitch... Most of these teams would be dead or amalgamated if it was not for us carrying them along...

The future is bright,
The future is cherry and white.

Wane after the Hull game, to keep the players focussed and motivated ahead of next weeks game simple said...

"Remember Lee Smiths celebration"

Enough said.

That kind of thing can be a prime motivator.

It's also good to hear that the preparation for the next match started the second after the previous one ended. Very much Graham Lowe's style

Great too see, we travel with the same defensive mind set and we shall come away with the points.

Interesting that he would focus on that rather than the disappointment expressed in Sean O'Loughlin's reaction to conceding the score.

Afterall there was nothing in Lee Smith's celebrations other than he had cause to celebrate.

I never realised Wigan had such an inferiority complex, there's no need really.

Why ... would you have expected him to?



Spin it any way that makes you feel better. But guess what - we'll still be using it as motivation for next week.

if we beat leeds and hull fc beat quins puts hull back to 4th

Always better to focus on yourselves rather than the opposition.

Awful reply.

A true professional player would not have gone with such an over the top drama queen celebration.

Generally Wigan need very little motivation to get up for a game against Leeds, but every little helps.

I'll go with the master motivator's viewpoint.
