Hangover season? : Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:10 pm  
Is the club still hung-over from the success of last season? I'd blame player burnout from the WC, but it's not like many of ours actually did much down under. How did a top team last year turn to jelly over the summer?
I'd be fine with the results if we were blooding youngsters, but this is a squad picked from strength and we're getting tonked.

Unless last year was a case of massive overachievement and we're now back to the true level.

I don't know, basically. It'll take a few more weeks for me to form a theory.

Dont believe that. I think a few things' arent helping you, injuries have made it a slow start for you. Not being privvy to what goes on over there but I am sure it hasnt helped with Potter leaving. Personally I am glad we played you early before you get sorted out because once you do a lot of sides are gonna cop for it.

My initial reaction is that Walters simply isn't as good a coach as Potter is.

It cant be that sensible, yet be so simple penguin, there must be a more sinister underlying reason.

They've not won since Bobbie Goulding was appointed France coach.

Now were talking, Bobbie has obviously got to the French contingent, implementing part one of his masterplan to wipe French rugby league off the planet.

I wonder If Kevvie and Bobbie are in cahoots with this evil plan.

You may have hit on something there. If I don't see you for some time, I'll avenge you.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

You did over acheive last year, this year will be the real test, I hope to see Catalans in the play-offs though.
