Do you want some gravy with that chip on your shoulder? Most of us have praised Huddersfield and given credit where it's due so if the opposite is "all you hear" then you're probably looking to find something to get your knickers in a twist over and seeing what you want to see. And just how the heck you think you are in a position to criticise our fans is beyond me. Stay until the end? How about turn up at the beginning? Pfft.

I think you had already thought of writing this kind of predictable post long before you came on this board. You come out with too many obvious old worn-out platitudes. I could do the same and say that the LLS means nothing nowadays, I could, but I won’t because I don’t believe it! Full credit to the Giants.

Why is it that, no matter how much a team is praised that beats Wigan, a fan of whatever said team still writes a post like this?

We have to accept that fans will be brought up to hate us, rather than respect what we bring to the game as a whole.... It's their day in the sun, let them enjoy it.

You have the thickest pair of cherry and white specs I have ever come across.
The Hudds fan got it right:

Do you think the wigan team should be given more license to play with the ball?
Everytime i see them play, they go through the same structured plays coming forward, to create an overlap for the winger or to put the second rower one on one with the opposition halfback.

To a certain extent yes. I also don't think we offload the ball enough either. Leeds and Warrington base a lot of their attack on the offload creating uncertainty in the defence, you lot used it a lot last night to.
I fully understand when we have a player of Sam's quality why we would create systems to utilise him, that have been very effective but I believe we have become over reliant on them.
I honestly think if you look at our team on paper there is a case to say we are currently over achieving.

| The biggest concern for me is Wigan's lack of attacking options. The usual two wave attack works well against most opposition but the well coached teams are now negating it by moving up quickly in the line. With Sam in the team he can still make a difference because he has the skill to evade the defenders even though they know what he is going to do! With teams moving up so quick I would try more kicks over or through the line to mix things up a bit and keep the defenders thinking and unsure which plays we are putting on.
When it come to the play offs Wigan will have to have more attacking options otherwise I don't see us even getting to the GF. At the moment it is a Hudds v Wire GF looming.

Our problem now is we need to prove it every week until October !'"
Erm... no.

| Just watched it again as instructed. Yes the try was a forward pass and yes there were two instances with touch kicks (Grix and Charnley) that were dubious. But to latch on to moments like that is very simplistic. Giants should have been out of sight at half time. They bombed a number of chances not due to Wigans good play but due to unforced errors. Aside from the two try's, which were well taken Wigan did very little. Their forwards were poor and Lauki is a waste of space and a penalty machine to boot. Not too many positives to be honest.
