Do you not remember the "agent Millward" era, we were far worse, could not buy a win.
Far gods sake we have only played two games.

Get down & support the lads.

The ones who whinge most will be the same ones whingeing when Wigan get to the Grand Final or Wembley, that they can't get tickets.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Unfortunately I don't think they've anything 2 worry about on that front for a while.
PS: I'm a season ticket holder n if we play as bad tonight as we did v wakefield I will be whinging!

Sometimes five drives and kick are the right options.

I've picked out Goulding on another thread for making three bad decisions with ball in hand on Friday, but if it had been the Wakefield game I could have said the same about George Carmont and probably others.

Gareth Hock does it time and time again. I'm not saying get rid, but they, and many of the others need to know when to pass and when to stick hold.

You may call it expansive rugby I prefer sensible rugby.


Think that is the key, and also my main reason for concern as we simply have no other options than a 1 up drive redardless of where we are on the field. Our main attacking threat is the kick to the corner, it does not seem that in our game plan we have any other intention of trying to score in any other way, it seems getting in field position and a kick to the corner is our only option, but given we are so transparent in our quest for field position our chances to do this are few and far between.






Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Fair enough, you aren't a bad supporter have a right too, but in my opinion you're:

Quote:fickle   

–adjective 1. likely to change, esp. due to caprice, irresolution, or instability; casually changeable: fickle weather.
2. not constant or loyal in affections: a fickle lover.

I have a season ticket so will be attending. Not sure how I'd feel if I didn't have one to be honest. I've done the fanatical supporter bit. Hull KR on a Tuesday night in December kind of thing and never missed a game all season. I was sat there against Wakefield the other week and after about an hour I just thought to myself 'I'd rather be at home'. It wasn't that we were losing. It was just mind numbingly boring stuff on display. Someone else has touched on the point about the credit crunch & hard earned cash etc. Why would you want to pay to watch that crapola to be fair?
Anyway, I've had a God awful week at work so I can only hope that Noble has drilled the troops to play attractive, fast flowing, open rugby tonight to make up for it. The working man deserves entertainment.

Well said.

The days of Millward were about as grim as it can ever get for any Wigan fan. Every week we just knew we would get beat and most of the time we did and by some as well.

To give up after just two games, especially when the Hull game was a huge improvement is a bit strange to say the least :?

Only just over 12000 fans tonight as I expected. Must do better.
Actually I quite enjoyed it because of Ainscough's inclusion and his brilliant performance. I hope he has paved the way for Sam to get a game because Smith isn't Wigan's standard. Neither is Riddel.
