The defense was reasonably solid today and certainly an improvement on previous weeks. Our goal line defense, barring one occassion, was improved in particular by a large margin. Not perfect by a long way but certainly better than previous weeks. I don't like the '3 steps forward and hold' defense as I have posted elsewhere but we seemed to abandon this in the second half. Whether this was due to the players taking it into their own hands or Noble finally realising it doesn't work I don't know, but as long as we defend with the enthusiasm we did in the 2nd half and continue to improve week on week as we did this week from last I'll enjoy my rugby.

Moving along to the point I was actually making. This weekend we've seen losses for Saints, Bradford and Warrington...alll against 'lesser' opposition while Wigan go away to Harlequins, traditionally a tough assignment for us, and come away with a win. After the doom and gloom of recent weeks I expected to come on here and actually see some positive, maybe even celebratory ( ) posts on here. Of course I should have known better. Some Wigan fans couldn't enjoy a free night in a brothel!

You said it's better than burying my head in the sand and pretending all is rosy. If you bothered to read my post I said "Not saying all is rosy by any means".

Get it now?

Phuzzy wrote:I agree. But you can only play who's in front of you and tonight we defended well against a well organised and resolute team. We saw a massive improvement on previous weeks but will need to improve further for the big games. I just wish that the Wigan fans could enjoy themselves from time to time. I'll explain it in a nutshell. I currently have a friend over from Aus staying with me. He watched the game tonight and saw the things that need improving just like the rest of us. But his words on seeing the whinging on here...and I quote... "F*ck me, I can't believe people are actually whinging after a good game of footy like that. Don't they know how to enjoy themselves in Wigan?"

I'm rarely embarrassed to be a Wigan fan. Coming on here tonight was one of the rare occassions.

Our coach just doesn't have a plan A never mind a plan B we are easy to defend against and our defence is poor very poor and i think that the points for and against shows this.
You must be a very lonely man if thats what you are as well because after reading some of your other replies all you seem to do is try and pick other peoples comments to bits on spelling punctuation etc etc are you a misanthrope by any chance
