Christ, lose one game and we're finished! Obviously not exclusive to Wigan, but it always surprises me how insane sports fans are. Even on Redvee you've got predictions we're gonna lose the next 5 games in a row, be out of the running in all comps with the coach being sacked lmao.
I stand by saying that I think BOTH of our teams are a cut above the rest of the league at the moment. Im very confident in what our starting 13 can achieve, with the obvious weakness that is the left wing spot. However, your strength in depth is a good level above us, so a bit of luck could definitely play a part in how it all goes this year.
I think our defence has for the most part, continued to look outstanding. I thought we looked very good against Huddersfield, and I thought we looked pretty good against Salford too and were cruising against a very in form team up until the sending off. Salford are playing well anyway, but they're so good at moving the ball and they did a fantastic job of taking advantage of the numbers and fair play to them. They knackered us out and reaped the rewards. Before the sending off, we'd conceded 14 points in 3 and a half games of rugby. I'm baffled by anybody saying we look finished.
Unfortunately I doubt Matty Peet and the lads will think the same, which is a shame.
