Low Points: watching the Quins at home - wigan fans booing the side perhaps for the first time in the season... the other low point was when we lost to Castleford at home, it then struck us that we were really in deep sh**, made it reality

High Points: Being part of the support week in week out: foggy bradford, snowy salford, baking-hot quins, rainy wakey... along with the 20-18 win over Leeds, awesome!

I think the low point for me was when you could tell by what Millward said, from Millward's body language and expressions he was clueless as to how to get us out of the mess.

The high point was finally knowing we were not going down and the outstanding support from the fans is an absolutely rubbish season.

A special mention must go to Radlinki leading the singing in the changing room with that brush!

Low points - Pre season hope evaporated, watching the fragile defence of IM's Wigan capitulate time and time again, the realisation that IM was neither as good a coach as we hoped nor it seems a good motivator, being uncompetitive in Wigan-Saints derbys, signing anybody/everybody, the salary cap saga, just being outside the 6, the loss of Mick Hannan (end of an era), realisation that DV is still a Wigan player, Loss of Logan, Orr

High Points - Sacking of IM, Appointment of Nobby, End of Moron, Form of Chris Ashton, Return of Lockers / Hock from serious injury, Signing of Fielden, Escape To Victory esp Leeds game (first time I've nearly passed out at a rugby game), The Fans, Signing of Barrat, Hopes for 2007.

its probably been the most tense and exciting season the warriors have had in a long time. gutted to hear that there won't be an end of season review released for it.
low point: (some) fans booing the team(awful)
high point: the last 12 games of the season :wink:
