Maybe a Protest

Okay, Okay.
Not such a good idea.
Just a knee jerk reaction out of pure frustration.
I think PieMon, AtoB & Fraggle owe me an apology and a beer at the next game.

??? An apology for what? I merely criticised your ideas, that's what this place is for. :conf:

Here's any idea for a Protest,

Go to Castlford and support the team and make sure that there is a great atmosphere for them to play in.

If we are not as fans do not get behind the club then who are we to criticise player’s form not giving it there all.

I will be doing as usual but as people have mentioned before. The difference is, we are paying to watch they are being paid to play. Think they owe us more than we owe them.

I agree but we as fans don't have to spend our days training and we can walk away after a match and go to work the next day but they have to struggle on and deal with it.

They work very hard all their career to achieve a level of fitness higher than everyone else and they go and play one of the toughest sports on earth for relatively small pay.

As Wigan fans we have seen our team had a lot of success but now that we lose a few the fans start turning their back.

As is see it we owe them a lot, but when we get behind the team they will improve.

we dont owe them anything, and how do you get that if we support them they will improve?

So it hasn't been won by the current team but when you turn your back on Wigan you turn your back on every cup we have won and every player who has played for Wigan.

Because I have faith in my team, and so should every Wigan fan, we can get relegated but no one can take away our history, other clubs have gone through worse times than what Wigan is going through at the moment and they are doing ok.

Oh yes, I'd love to "struggle on" with their salary. So what if it's small fry compared to other sports? Jeez, anyone would think they get paid peanuts.

Some people need to stop confusing criticising the team with deserting the team. If we got relegated, I'd still go and watch them but it doesn't mean I can't state the truth: we at the moment are POOR.

heres my protest get faz back, drop tickle, we get a goal kicker, another forward and an Inspirational captain all in one. many people might think hes past it and disagree with me but i would personally love to see him back at wigan and i think he would do us a brilliant job as we are struggling so much, i used to be quite critical of faz but by god have we missed him so i say MO GET YOUR FINGER OUT AND SIGN HIM.

thought he had recovered and hes been training vigorously.

All we can do at the moment is get fully behind the lads and no matter what your personal opinion is shout and sing for all we're worth. I honestly believe that the lack of confidence is one of the crucial factors right now - no matter what you do in life you do it better if you feel happy, relaxed and not under any pressure so we have to do what we can to help. The team are now under pressure, there's nothing we can do about that but we can help them feel more relaxed and when they do the right moves and the exciting rugby will re-appear. We weren't that bad against Perpignan, Leeds or Huddersfield - we just tended to nod off in the second half rather than be alert for the full 80. All this aggro will soon be forgotten when once we get back on track although I do agree they had best get a move on.

Woah! Inspirational or not, he'd have to gain a lot of respect back from his fellow team mates before becoming captain again. He left us at a very difficult time putting all the pressure onto younger less experienced players and the rest of the team. I'd love him back, can't ever see it happening and we could do with the captain figure he once was but why go backwards? Surely we should be searching for someone to replace him for the next 5-10 years. Once he's retired what we going to do? Bring him out of retirement cause our new captain isn't as inspiring, think it's time to look into the future rather than get nostalgic over the past.

Saying that though, I'd have him back any day!!! I try to be logical in my thinking but what's the point. Farrell for Wigan!
