| I'm sick of these preformences tbh............if they keep on I might start believing we've got a chance of actually winning something!
I thought after the Crusaders game the bubble would burst against HKR and then after HKR I thought it would burst at Warrington and then after that I thought it had big potential to burst tonight and then we go and produce that!!!
Now onto Bradford and again it's a big test and will be a good indicator of what we can achieve this season.
Looking forward to it and i'm sure the next week will drag again.

He got a knock to the head in the first half and did not remember any of it. The doctor told Rads he had to come off Wane was not happy about him coming off. Wane was not happy with the second half performance took Goulding off said he was not good enough

Watched Bradford last Friday night against Cas and just kept saying 'jeez they're not all that'. I thought Cas stank last Friday and if Bradford produce a similar preformence to that Castleford one we'll really have to drop a few levels to lose the game.
We will have a dip in form at some point though but I just hope it doesn't start next week.

| Not my sort of game, BUT.
The first half was the most complete exhibition of Rugby League I have seen for many a year from any Wigan side.
No mistakes, no handling errors and no penalties conceded.
Add to that, clinical finishing, a superb performance.
But I preferred last Saturdays game.

You and me both mate, Tonight was boring I prefer hard fought close wins although their not good for the heart. However If I have to put with 58 nil wins every game this season, we wont go far wrong I suppose

Agree with all of that.
It was a superb first half and I enjoyed that to a point but I still couldn't stop myself saying 'it's time to pack this game up' for the first 15 mins of the 2nd half when both sides looked like their minds were elsewhere.
We said before the game though we were worried about tonight playing in this wet weather and not in my wildest dreams would I have thought we'd take the game 58-0 so i'll settle for being that bored every week

So did I but tonight was a pleasure to watch not because we scored 58 points but because they were 58 quality points. Richards first three tries all took some scoring, his goal kicking was back to its best and what a cracker when he ran faster than I have ever seen him run.
Some of the off the ball running was just excellent and we were attacking the line at pace and had options in attack.
At the end when the crowd had a bit if a sing I think the penny has dropped that maybe this isn't yet another false dawn. As NickyKiss said we have been expecting the bubble to burst each week because that is what would have happened by now last season. It would be odds on for next week had we put a team to the sword like we did tonight last season. I am not saying a win is a forgone conclusion at all but we have to think we stand a good chance and I never thought like that last season.
I always felt we could contrive to lose a game. Now I think it will take a good side to beat us.
If there is one downer itwas the crowd. 12001 is very poor after the Wire victory even though Les Cats only brought the 1.

| Superb performance, but what pleases me the most is that each week we win it in a different style, tonight we played a lot out on the fringes and benefited from that, against KR it was are kicking game that brought most of the tries. It's nice to see that we keep adding strings to are bow, that way when we do come up against a defense were struggling to breakdown we have more options to throw at it.
Finally it would we now appear we have game plans in place for different teams it's not just the same old same. All the credit must firstly go to Wane and McGuire and then the players for fantastic start to the season, long may it continue.

Not great but actually 500 up on last year's fixture.
Disappointed I wasn't there, the side made a mockery of my prediction of a defeat - seems the culture at the club really has changed.

OK wasn't aware of that so that puts it in context but still a bit disappointing given the pre-season optimism and the way we have been playing.

Well I and others were getting cautious with the news Mossop was on pain killers and Hansen was out - plus the poor weather and pitch and I think given the last three seasons you won't have seen many Wigan fans predicting such a battering of Les Cats no matter who they had out.
Worth reiterating it wasn't 58-0 that was good to watch but the way we scored the points.

Yeah i've no problem with the crowd tbh.
We're averaging around 12,300(at a guess) after 3 games against clubs that have brought a total of approx 800 away fans with them and still have the Saints home game, the Leeds home game, the Big One(rumoured to be Wire), the Community day, the equivilant of the Quins game from last year plus another even the club said they had planned at the fans forum so our average should shoot up in the coming months.
We'll average around 14,000 come the end of the season imo.

I agree with that, I also prefer the nail biter games, however, it would take someone of strong character to come on here and say they weren't impressed with the manner of our work in the first 40 minutes.

| Just read on Sporting life that O'Loughlin only went off due to abit of a bang to his head and will be fine for next week according to Maguire.
Hope we get Phelps back for Bradford. If we do I really think we can put on a cracking show at Odsal on Friday night.

Couldnt agree more, with Roberts on the wing and Phelps playing the way he has been going with his try assists we would have got over 70 tonight if that was the case.

When you see almost 14,000 at Hull for the visit of Quins (televised as well) we may well struggle to be the third best supported team this year, never mind aiming for 1st. Thats disappointing. Granted we've had two of the three non away fan crowds so far though so still early days.

| Did we only give one penalty away all match. Thats all a can remember. was great performance tonight and made a pleasant change from those nail biters. It certainly must be making the other SL teams sit up and look.

| The attendance isn't bothering me one iota. All we've had to shout about for years is crowds and now we're starting to look like the genuine article, so what if we're down a few. I'd rather be part of a 10k average crowd and watch what we're watching now than 14k and be dished up the fare Noble etc gave us.

And Crusaders didn't bring so many either for the other!

| I'm no fan of one-sided games but tonight was the most entertaining thrashing I've ever seen. I'm not sure what impressed me more, our attack or our defence. It took Catalans 33 minutes to get into our half with ball in hand and that was after a dodgy 'all on' call after the kick hit one of our lad's backs!
I don't remember them seriously threatening to score for the entire game. Great effort lads
