We had one less player and we looked pretty decent for it tbh. okay, we didn't win but we didn't expect to, get over it and bring on huddersfield.

after getting a player sent off in the first 5/6 minutes, i don't think the players expected to win

beat the teams around you and then try to beat the top teams.

wigan fans seem to want instant results, look at the league table, we've not been this high for a good few years and people are asking for the nobles resignation letter.
We are going backwards. We will finish on less points this season than last (ignoring the 4 points we lost do to salary cap reduction), we got further in the CC last year and if anyone expects another semi-final appearance in the play offs they are IMO living in cloud cuckoo land.
we had players missing that are to valuable to us i.e O'loughlin, Richards, Bailey, and Mcclourm (13 men on the field does go along way to winning a game)
The sending off only affected last nights game and overall this season we have been poor. As to the other three three players missing we are better off without O@loughlin and Bailey. O'Loughlins enforced absence has shown he isn't that good and has not been missed. I dread to think what would have happened with him as captain last night. He certainly would not have been trying to gee the players up like Barrett was.
