Belongs to Warrington!

Who would have thought that a few seasons ago?

Has been for a few weeks now.

If only Paul Cullen had understood the importance of defence, instead of having an obsession to be the new St Helens, then we could have been enjoying this type of season a few years back.

For all the praise that Tony Smith has rightly gotten, the simple fact is that all he has done is got the team to carry out the basics of defence, and also added some much needed discipline to the squad.

Is that genuis or does it just show how poor a coach Cullen was?

It shows how good a coach Tony Smith is.

It does help playing Salford in the Magic weekend.
Take those results away and who would have the best defence (and attack).

You played Salford and only beat them by 12 you fool.

Genius takes many forms...

Not applicable in this case tho.

TS seems to be a great motivator and man manager, defence is not just about saying 'come on boys work for each other, pick your man.'

they have to believe in TS and each other and the direction they are going, without that when the lungs are busting and the legs are giving out, they wouldn't go the extra mile.

We didn't play them at Murrayfield. Take the Murrayfield results out of the equation (for all teams) and who would have the best attack and defence.

Perhaps if Wire had made the top eight last season they may have had a more difficult game.

No but you have played them? The only difference is that it was played in a bigger stadium.

Take result at Warrington and we'd be top of the league. Unfortunately the laws of universe make that impossible.

Rogues just got owned.

He gets owned alot. He's a tool.

What he knows about RL I could write on the back of a stamp.

perhaps if we'd played less games in the challenge cup last season we'd have won the grand final!

if's buts and maybe's don't really come into it,

if your team had not fiddled the sallary cap perhaps you would have been relegated.. who knows?

rogue.. you really do enjoy trying to put the cat amongst the pigeons, but you do it so transparently.. so please , please take your opinions elsewhere!


we have the strongest defence in the league... get over it old man! your living in the past

Most Wiganers are living in the past tbf.

A wigganer living in the past no way i am not having that...

Take away the Murrayfield results and we still have the best defence.

Wire 222
Hudds 228
Wigoon 248

How so?

...And Rogues gets owned again.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but...

wigan - for 544, against 258
Wire - for 513, against 238 (hence Wire currently having the best defense in the league)

Murrayfield results
wigan 28, Huddersfield 10
Wire 68, Salford 16

wigans against after subtracting Murrayfield 258 - 10 = 248
Wires defence after subtracting Murrayfield 238 - 16 = 222

Now it may have been a few years ago, but when I was at school 222 was definately less than 248.

At the end of the season you will have played Salford three times in the league as you both finished in the bottom six season. It's an advantage to Warrington. maybe to make it fair they should give the winning teams the two points but NOT include the points difference in the final league tables.

A reasonable compromise, wouldn't you agree?

Too slow again

You did too much working out

As I keep telling the lad when he actually admits to having homework, you have to show your workings, and then double check them just to be on the safe side.
