They have just lost, at HOME to a wakefield team decimated by injuries
Grow up, its the first game of the season and such things happen to the best of us! e.g.
Saints 6 - 14 Harlequins

I know it's only one game, and we lost our first game at the start of last season, but the manner of the defeat today could well set the tone for Wigan in the weeks to come.
Already the NOBLE OUT threads are starting, Mathers is a waste of space ( from our old friend King Warrior ) another.

As we saw in the game on friday, the opening games of any season will see teams struggle against lack of competitive match practice, christ knows we've struggled ourselves in past seasons from the same thing.
Much as i don't like them, i wouldn't be so quick to right them of based on one half of rugby.
Give it a rest.
I've been reading on here all pre season how Wigan are this and Wigan are that....well they have just lost in their first game of the season, at home against mediocre opposition. If ridiculing them after reading the nonsense (including their captain this morning stating what they are going to do) is naive then I am indeed being naive. Any Saints fan who fears Wigan need their heads seeing to, they are garbage, end of. The only way they will beat us, yet again, is if we play pathetically, which we are capable of.

We all hate it when their lot and the Leeds boys come and gloat when we lose, all you do posting this tripe is give them ammo for later in the season.
Dude, I dont remember our fans gloating to the extreme like Wigan fans have been doing about how they couldnt fail this year. Just read some of the recent threads on cherry&white. Thats why I am gloating. I am more than aware that we could fall foul too, but until that happens, I am gladlly going to gloat

from what I saw today they lacked a creative spark. They were stood utterly flat in attack at times and near the line they just looked lost. Riddell looks terribly unfit too and they had no real impact off the bench.
Obviously we dont know how we'll fare this year but from what I saw today Wigan wont be in the running for honours although I'm sure they will grind out there fair share of results.

I just think it's so funny that they lost! To be honest, I was expecting them to win given Wakey's injury problems. But to lose at home is just too much for me to cope with. I just have to laugh!

Yea but he's a Saints fan on a Saints forum.
[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.

Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
