TBH mate i have been thinking the same now for a couple of weeks. The way we performed tonight for me proved this! I hope im wrong and Madge does stay and things get sorted, but IMO the performance was a statement of some kind!

Coley for me.

Why worry, it makes for a more competitive Superleague.
I don't want any one club to dominate.
Wigan will still be in the mix at the business end of the season.
This is turning out to be the best Superleague for ages.

Y'mean like Leuluai?

I think your maybe right. If Madge is going then I'd get rid now if I were Lenegan.

Correct. Both Wigan & Wire have had 'reality checks' over the last week or so.
Who knows, at the end of the season we could look back and say that tonight's result kickstarted our season. Whilst I agree that tonight was very poor I must say I was shocked at some of the comments made by some of our supporters tonight when coming out of the ground tonight.

Yeah mate , it's just natural disappointment.
I've been there done that.Wigan will bounce back and thrash somebody sure as eggs is eggs.

Agreed, that and we need to start playing people in the correct position. As well as getting Lima on the field and Fielden fit, the loss of Fielden has been massively underplayed so far.

Full of **** micky mac was best player on there tonight

The most likely reason for our inability to play the most basic of rugby imo.

The post before yours from jonh where he says play players in their best positions is no knee jerk its what a lot have been saying already this season.

Now we may disagree what those positions may be but I bet most are coming round to Finch 7, Sam 6 and TL 9 (interchanging with MM). Full back is a bit of an issue since Roberts seems out of favour but put the other player at 6 and 7 and 9 and FB is less of a worry.

if so then why did he let 2 trys in?

Name them finch let 3 maybe 4 in

Do we miss piggy? yes but micky mac is doing a good enough job for us

Sorry Geoff Goulding was 100% at fault for two tires so no he did not have a good game based on that alone. He should have taken both kicks to his wing given he got hands to the ball on both occasions. It was a sure fire bet after he dropped the first one next time they would kick to him and they did and he obliged and dropped it again. There was no one within a yard for the first and while challenged for the second he got hands on it and fluffed it.

Two questions.

Who threw the interception which led to their try.

Who trotted slowly towards the loose ball (despite thousands of Wiganers screaming at him that there was a man-on).

What was the score when the interception was thrown? It really was not a game changing moment was it!

Wasn't it Sam who played a ball dropped forward by Les Cats on the Wigan left so Child waved play on and so Les Cats picked it up and scored?

one flukey season youve just had one flukey season

I'm sure this was the same one. The ball was bouncing on the try line and (i'm sure it was Micky Mac sauntered back to it only for the Catalans player to pounce on it.

Re: The interception, I was only asking who threw the pass. I think the one if the final minute was Hoffman (who went immediately onto his knees in disgust head in hands).

We've thrown a few out over the last few weeks. (Riley from Lockers a notable other one).

Tip - Always wait until your own team have won at the weekend before wading in.

observation!youve just had one flukey season.my own team as a group have done their bit and records prove it was'nt flukey.I now await the next leeds group,dont know when success will return but your present Wigan team have just had one flukey season

But by the time your team wins it next it could be a flukey one season again.


You can't harp on about the past anymore, cause that's gone....otherwise we may as well compare back to back titles.

And we know there's only one winner there don't we?

level playing field now lad,3 in a row in a salary capped sport is better than your 8 when you were the only full time pro team.
last season is past now,and its proving youve had just one flukey season.

Does this include the try where he just watched the Dragon (Menzies was it?) jump on the loose ball for the try despite having about 5 yards on him? Criminal defending.

It's always been a level playing field. Just because some other teams chose not to spend as much doesn't mean it wasn't possible for them to do so. An unlevel playing field would have been rules in place preventing teams from competing, which never existed - it was always down to the choice of the other teams. And Wigan were NEVER the only full-time team, and certainly not for the entire 8 years.

Even now, most clubs don't spend the full cap, so it's not a level playing field now, according to your twisted logic.

Shows what you know when didnt Leeds turn professional before Wigan?
