Last year for you guys was again a disappointment considering the money you spent and quality you had, This year its played 2 and lost 2 and played poorly in both games if we are being honest.

But as a club from top to bottom have you guys hit the self destruct button?

Obviously in years gone by a huge amount of young talent has been produced and released by the club, big money signings have been at large a huge disappointment and the coaches that have come with big reputations again have disappointed, the question is why?

The mix just seems to be consistently wrong no matter what ingredients you lot keep chucking in.

On a final note given your current predicament on the field where do you lot see yourself finishing this season, I thought you would be a top three side this year but I think I might review my opinion given your current form.

What a load of crap, where we finished last season, I don`t think 80 mins from the GF was to bad!!

With only 2 games played it`s still the begining of a long season so why come on here and start spouting a load of dribble!!!

come back around September and lets chat then.

Over the course of last season the standard of rugby was poor for you lot, that is my point.

It was inconsistant last season, we did have some bad results but on the other hand we had some good results so I don`t think you can call it poor and as previously said 80 mins from the grand final wasn`t all that bad, we did better than all but 2 teams in SL.

same old same old, every fan loves to have a pop at wigan as soon as they have a bad game, followed by a close loss. Just because wigan have a rep that no other club has and will ever have.

Look at football - everyone critisises United, chelsea, arsenal if they lose but no-one else realy.

Just shows everyone sees wigan as the biggest club in SL

Sorry, you USED to be the biggest! The only proffesional club in the 80's/90's SHOULD have been the biggest, and you were! Not now. It's Saints with Leeds about to take over.

No we weren't. We weren't even the first club to go full-time professional.

We've lost our first two games. Yes, you guessed it, we've hit the destruct button.
