Now advancing in years, but with a proud pride of Wigan RLFC, I cannot get to many games.

My Dad has been supporting Wigan since the late 1920's. His father before him was a Leytham & Jenkins fan.

But one thing I do notice, apart from the results, is that there is something wrong with the greatest Rugby League team ever.

Wigan is still an 'hotbed' for the game. It would only take a complete idiot to not make Wigan RLFC a success.

Then we have this lot.

We are being laughed at by the rest.

There needs to be a change, and I am not sure that neither the coach NOR the Chairman, are good enough.

brian noble wont b our coach next season,on gmr IL was ask about b noble new contract,an said depends on results on the field,so its not looking good eh

yup id say you were the laughing stock

This morning it sure as hell feels like we are Superleagues laughing stock.

Have been for some time, every year it has been more like watching a soap opera instead of a sports team/club with all the shenangans going on.

Someone was going to be the first to lose in Wales , everyone else is just pleased it was not them.

A very good result for the expansionist faction , but very bad for you.

yes what a

It was the biggest cheer in the pub last night, when that result came through

Still revered throughout the game - that's why so many people enjoy having a pop. That's the price you pay for being at the top of the tree for so long. Despite your lean years i still regard your club as the biggest in the country. The first choice i always want to see out of the hat in a challenge cup draw next to Halifax is Wigan.

Small crumb of comfort but there it is nonetheless.

Yes.

Second that.

No you are not the laughing stock - swings and roundabouts, its just not your turn now.

I think you've hit upon the problem yourself. It's the fact that you smugly and arrogantly keep on regarding yourselves as 'the greatest rugby league team ever'. It's an attitude that seems to permeate the Wigan club. Time moves on, but you lot don't. You're stuck in the past and getting left behind.

This is true though. We're not just not the best at the moment (if you don't know the difference, you need to consider going to school at the weekend and throughout the holidays too.)

You are a laughing stock at the moment and you are not the "greatest rugby league team ever". I think that accolade belongs to the aussies. Oh and before you bite back he said team not club

Poor old deluded Wigan believe they are still the greatest club ever

I think our honours list says that we are, do keep up

it seems to me that it is the wigan haters that have a thing about wigan being the best, believe me wigan fans don't think that.
i used to take my son watching the great wigan teams, and he would be unlucky if he saw wigan lose three times a season, he now believes we are crap.
he now has to drag his son to the JJB because his son and most of his mates know that this team and the teams over the last 5 years have been rubbish.

We haven't become a laughing stock - we've been one for years.

Most rational people will have seen that we've been mismanaged for most of this decade and given the resources at our disposal have serially and seriously underperformed for a good number of years.

We've been missing three key apsects for most of the last five years that we'll need if we are to hope to challenge consistently again:

1. Leadership (not had it since Faz left)
2. Creativity (had it for a couple of seasons with Barrett)
3. A set of prop who put the fear of God into the opposition (not had it since the days of Smith/O'Connor/Pongia)

No don't worry Hull Fc have saved you from reaching that title we are far worse and more of a laughing stock in the rugby league world at the moment

Sorry but that's not true.

We have at least 2 weeks of being the "worst club in SL" to endure.


I'm not disappointed anymore. I am angry with the players.

I sympathise with Hull fans, you've had to put up with the same kind of garbage as us Wigan fans.

That's true Im at that stage too, past disappointment just Angry.

You'd be ok if you just played us every week, it appears to be one of the few games you are "up for"
