The only reason they look up to you is because they chose to kneel.

Re: Wigan v Sts discussion : Sat Sep 17, 2022 2:33 pm  
I’ve deliberately not gone early with this in case we lost today however….

For all the Wigan fans mocking us talking about injuries they’ve realised now it’s the quality of players out not quantity.

Cust, Farrell and French as a passenger was too much quality missing. We’ve had Dodd out since April, Percival since May and Grace more or less all season. That’s without mentioning Hopoate.

Finally I’m made up Wigan lost but how do you sell a Sport to new fans whereby Leeds make the Final.

They were in genuine crisis this season, sacked a coach, got some beatings, but managed to get just above a 50% win record and then win 2 games and here we are. This isn't an achievement, it's merely being decent for a little while.

We aren’t guaranteed to do 4 in a row but if we do…

Jason will have to admit we are the best team in the comp.

I’m also pleased that Smith bottled those goal kicks. Karma for giving it the billy big bollox rubbing Welsby’s head a few weeks ago and laughing in his face. And before you all start I don’t agree with Welsby’s antics at Magic either

Similar to Smithies. Sticks his head in every ptb, dropped a forearm on Bentley and Bentley outplayed him all game

I really don’t get why Wigan fans love Smithies so much. He’s clearly a mid table plodder. They could do so much better

Thank you and yes of course if you do win the GF you will be the best side this year,I have no problem saying that as I have all along,if Leeds win they will be the best side.
That is the rules my friend,however we did win the CC so that is 1 trophy won this year,not a bad season really.

Stu, you are sounding very bitter and twisted mate don’t drag yourself down to the level of WW69 etc.

Find it a bit odd that you haven’t ‘gone early.’ If it’s what you thought then post it regardless of when. Otherwise it’a just making you look like you’re here for a wind up hiding behind a long post and waiting for your own positive result.

Doesn’t carry the same weight when I’m having a pop at Smith and Smithies had we lost today.

Also it’s always less emotions the morning after a loss. I wasn’t going to come on as soon as the final whistle went last night.

I don't like players patting the opposition on the head etc., a bit of verbal yes. Mind you Smith is not in the same league as LMS or Bentley.

Welsby is developing into that role nicely as well
