Wigan 2016 winning the league, but losing in both finals and there's plenty on here would be looking for Wanes head on a block.
Re: Who had the better season?
Lost the CC in minutes, lost a GF in the last 20 mins. In both, they could have won. Arguably it is something to be proud of is it not?TrueBlueWarrior wrote:They might have played better rugby on a more consistent basis resulting in more entertainment and ultimately deservedly winning the LLS! But how losing 2 major finals can be classed as more successful than winning the GF is mind blowing!!cpwigan wrote:Of course any Wire fan would have loved to have won either the CC or the GF but week in week out Wire have would you not say been more successful / entertaining?
They have ultimately failed miserably and been found wanting AGAIN!!

I have never been proud of losing, maybe that's why they lose so much, because they are still proud to lose!cpwigan wrote:Lost the CC in minutes, lost a GF in the last 20 mins.

If we had had the identical season to Wire, would you have been proud still? No, you would have been on here slaughtering every man and his dog associated with the club!!

There is no pleasing some folk

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

So did we have a better season in 2012 than this season.cpwigan wrote:Of course any Wire fan would have loved to have won either the CC or the GF but week in week out Wire have would you not say been more successful / entertaining?

But been entertained comes second to winning the grand final. If any player takes losing 2 finals winning the hub cap which is the 3rd choice. Above winning a Grand Final then that player should ever come close to playing in a Wigan shirt.
And if I remember correct its 4th for Wane did a kid question him before the season on his priorities. And the Gf been no.1.

Re: Who had the better season?
This wonderful Wire rugby playing side.
627 scoots from dummy half in the season
Another 36 on Saturday.
It's like going back to when we had one trick Mick at Wigan. It's the most one dimensional form of rugby. Who's had the better season, it's the team playing for the World Club Championship next February. John Monie once said "Great teams aren't great all the time, just when they need to be"

Re: Who had the better season?
From someone who has been following the NRL all his life and Super League for only the last few years, the Super 8's not only seems so stupid but it's very confusing as well.
Why not just have the bottom 4 teams fight it out with the top 4 from Championship and have the Top 8 teams do a regular playoff system?
Wasn't there a massive flaw where even though there were still a few games to go, some of the teams outside the 4 couldn't make it into the top 4 and therefore just had to play games for the sake of it? Just seems idiotic.
