I would just like to applaud the efforts of your team tonight, you were awesome. Apart from Fielden the effort and commitment you showed was first class and in Shaun Ainscough you have a player who has the world at his feet!!!

They still lost though!

Losers need no applause.

shadenfreude


german word

the delight in watching some one elses downfall!


works for me!

i was impressed with our effort- perform like that week in week out and you will hear no complaints from me...in reply to this wire fan! omg look at your own clubs downfall, selling one of your best players for a nobody!

we sold a player for 100,000

you released a player who we then signed

so what your 2 points ahead of a team that's undergoing radical change, getting rid of non commited players.
gleeson said exactly the same when we signed him and he took the cash, no change really.....

Coming off the ground tonight loads of people were saying how well we played what a load of we lost. yes we lost once again at home for the fourth time , out of five games at home we have lost four this is simply not good enough look at the league tables tomorrow and see were we are . This is Wigan RLFC not some middle of the table side and the sooner the players and the coaching staff realise this then we might see some improvement . Lets have some pride in playing for WIGAN and get us back were we belong and not having teams taking the out of us.

wow even i think that was brutal...

at least you showed some commitment, not enough but more than recently!

Yeah we were awful tonight weren't we, the players didn't show any pride did they...

The sooner some of our fans realise we ARE a mid table TEAM, then we might get some realism around here.

But you are a middle of the table side! You don't get to be top of the league just because you are wigan rlfc. FFS

I was impressed with you tonight. After the way you played us i was expecting saints to get 40.

I thought that you played your hearts out and were unlucky to lose against the best team in SL.

No one can doubt the players commitment after tonight. the task now is to back it up agaainst a lesser team and get two points

No completly wrong again!

The sooner fans stop accepting mediocrity like you seem to have given into the better.

The fans should never ever accept defeat to Saints at home as it would never happen the opposite way around! It doesn’t matter if we have a bunch of reserves out we should believe we have the skill to win every single game as that’s the club we are. When the fans accept defeat based on the nature of the performance or don’t demand victory the players will also accept it and then we are really screwed.

We should always demand better of the players and shouldn’t accept a good performance and a loss as a good point.

I really do despair sometimes and I wonder what the people who had the vision to make our club the greatest in the world by demanding the highest standards would think of this pittyfull attitude.

Yes we can take positives from the game but to seem to say ‘hey it doesn’t matter as we are a mid table team and we expect to be beaten is just wrong for Wigan RLFC.

Is this how far we have fallen? To be congraulated on losing? Oh deary me.

Sad state for Wigan. Has been for circa 10 years now.

It's alright because come Monday night we'll be ahead of you again

Wigan wont be far from the top of the table if they perform like that for the rest of the season.

Any other team would have lost to Wigan tonight
Saints defence this year is awesome

Great game

We played well, should have taken our chances, didn't and in turn got beat!, however plenty of positives to take. I just hope that they can build on that performance and take it into the rest of the season!

Where we are in the league at present is a pretty ugly place too be, and our win/loss record isn't the best, so lets hope for better at Catalans!

Ok I take the point we lost, in particular I don't like it any more than you do but that's sport winners, losers and opposing points of view and to be honest I really did enjoy the game. The effort the lads put in was tremendous, if they played every 80mins like that one there could have been a few more wins in the 'W' Column, but they didn't we havn't and so have to move on.. For God's sake let's build (Rome wasn't built in a day) a sustainable success, a team to be proud of one with a competitive spirit that makes our youth system the envy of the RL world and ensures that with the best experienced players they combine to make a team every professional player wants to play for.



Even the bloody Titanic sank, not because of an Iceberg but because of a lack of cutting edge technology and huuman error!! Yes we are Wigan Rugby but imo that's a title that has been hidden in the sand during the previous administration and will take many more months of the present administration, in whom we must trust, to ensure that the name of the club is as successful as it ever has been. As for fans from other clubs taking the Mick, as long as it's not McIlorum, I'm not to bothered.

Rant Over

I think we'll be there or there abouts, we dominated the game for 60 mins then our kicking game let us down to allow Saints to build their momentum from half way to score their quick tries. We should have won the game, but the team who usually comes out on top in October has the uncanny ability to win games they shouldn't.

I watched the game on tv and I'm sorry but I didagree entirely with all the posters saying how well Wigan played. The old Wigganers must have held their heads in shame to see how the team has turned into one of the most cheating, ref whinging teams and plain dirty-tricks shower, that has ever had the misfortune to slip into a shirt. If you get a decent coach who teaches them how to pass backwards, stop the dirty tricks (shown up well in the video of the game) then maybe we will see the old style Wiggan that knew how to win a game using their skill, expertise to let the neitrals enjoy a fast flowing game that is a pleasure to watch. grannyfan Cindy

I think Wigan have to take a lot of positives out of the game. Much improved defensive effort and the youngsters coming through are future England stars. Ainscough was outstanding last night.
They may be a "mid table" team at the moment but the future looks a little brighter. With better finishing last night Wigan would have won comfortably.

Get over yourself love.

Enjoy the fighting this afternoon (on & off the pitch).

It's a "step in the right direction..."
