Sorry but I think that is complete bollocks in particular the last sentence as the only decent side we have played so far is Leigh.

Would you like Wigan to complete a clean sweep again? Of course. We do not have to losefor the good of the league. Others have to win. Do you expect a clean sweep again? No as it was exceptional but we really should not be out of the cup to a very average Hull side by losing at home.

If Wigan were seeing strong challenger's that might be different but as I see it HKR are the side to beat again and everyone else is little improved. We have played one decent side in Leigh but they were good last year and our own play is not convincing.

If Vegas has anything to do with it then as it meant nothing but two league points it was not worth it. Out of the cup costing the club a fortune had we got to Wembley again and poor form in the league.
Vegas was totallhy worth it. A once in a life time never to be forgotten experience. If following a sports team isn't about that, I don't know what its about!
Vegas is well past being yesterday’s fish and chip paper.

The sport is about cup finals and GF’s. It was two league points and seems to have been nothing but a distraction for the players.

If the RFL wants to be involved with something like that then make it the Magic weekend. Trouble is, it was not even the RFL’s idea. It was Rads being the “big I am”. I doubt making it Magic weekend would be feasible anyway as that would probably be unaffordable for several clubs. I believe it cost Wigan money to go so I doubt it is sustainable without direct sponsorship.
I'm sorry you can have fun unless there's more than 2 league points on the line.

Funny you should say that Dave, as I'm fairly sure you've said in the past that sport is about entertainment. There has been few things in my time watching Wigan (40 years come the season after next) that have come close to being as entertaining as the Vegas trip.

Also, what are all your posts complaining when we play badly/lose during the regular season about? If the sport is only about cup finals and GFs then individual losses and performances during the season are irrelevant.
