As I see it most fans want to support a winning team. Wigan win most if not all their home games so their fans are in the main happy.
Would I want to watch their style of play each week?
Probably not but you have to admire their line speed and aggression in defence but only when it's within the laws (rules?) of the game.
What let them down last night was some uncharacteristically sloppy passing near our line & the fact that sides are now better at defending their two lines of attack.
Why a bloke coming in to a tackle simply to lie on top of the ruck isn't penalised as a flop I don't know. Something that Farrell & O'Loughlin are masters at.
Joel Tomkins was totally anonymous last night.

If they want to play at the Britannia on a Tuesday night, then that works out brilliantly for me as I can actually get there after work.

No problem. In readiness for your visit, we could also post a picture of the other two trophies you're not going to win this season?






"He's the best coach I've had... His mix of man-management and his game plan is second to none. Since Brian Mac has been in charge, we've been in every final so far. I love playing for him. I can't praise him enough, I've so much respect for him and I hope he's here for a very long time." Kevin Sinfield 29/9/12

Be careful we've won nothing yet either.

Clubb wouldn't make it into any top 3 side? Erm he already is you numpty. He is the best prop in a (granted) pretty weak pack but he would walk into any side. You can't watch Wigan that much but trust me, he is a power machine.



Had it not been for that biased officiating Leeds would have had 40 long before your late spurt. He completely kept you in the game with what you got away with. No other team would have got away with that.






#frostiesbitches We know who you are.

Both him and O'Loughlin were taking it in turns to have a nap in the ruck.

Not in Wigan World Gotcha, in the land of pies every game lost is a game stolen by cheating officials and opponents.

To be fair I'm being harsh, the majority of the Wigan faithful I know aren't as biased as the myopic bunch of whiners that come on here after losing a game, finding fault with every official that doesn't see things their way.

Singleton did about 3 blatant flops in the 5 minutes after he came on.

Leeds are the perfect team though aren't they. Just a joy to watch... zZzzZzz...

Must be doing something right, given you can't stop talking about us.

Enjoy your club heading backwards under the shaved ape.
