| Yes, derogatory garbage:
"Overall, we have to do what Hull did to us last Sunday. Frustrate the hell of out Huddersfield. We don't need to play dirty because if we do I think they could bully us, they like that type of game. But we shouldn't be afraid to just find touch on the last tackle. Keep turning them round, make the pace of the game slow and that will help us to compete. Doing that will keep the already sp Huddersfield crowd quiet and that lack of atmosphere so often rubs off on the team playing at home."
We like to play dirty do we? Garbage. Sp Huddersfield crowd? We get more at home than half the league, just because we don't get gates as high as Wigan doesn't automatically make our crowds sp. Lack of atmosphere? I've been having a hoot, ta. Garbage.

What a dick. Combining ill informed comment with 'pychology for dummies' insights.
Does the moron who writes that bilge comment on the crowds of every opposition team?
he/ she can't even get the rugby bits right.Included in those not playing for the Giants are : McGilvray / Patrick / Ferguson. All 3 are in the England Knights squad and are very capable players. Though apparently only Andy raleigh is missing

| It's pretty ironic to infer that Huddersfield are the dirty side and then dismiss every coach in the league who has complained about Wigan's 'Melbournisms' as a whiner.

ATEOTD why slag off Huddersfields style of play, crowds and supposed lack of atmosphere? Why does it finish off slagging off Leeds fans? =#FF0000Completely unnecessary. Arrogant piffle and ridiculously one eyed to boot.
Wigan as a club have lots of things that other clubs would like to emulate. That doesn't give low brow egotists the right to slag off others with baseless arrogant rubbish.
Nail on head. But ATEOTD lots of Wigan fans enjoy this and i would guess McGuire feeds into it to miotivate the players no one likes us and we dont care.. This thread says it all.
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=486635
and that was from a moderator who tend to be in my experience reasonable fair and modest
Do not get drawn into feeding their fantasies, keep cool everyone and do not feed the trolls. Concentrate on the Giants and what we are doing, forget the inferiority complexes and righteous anger THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.
Winning on the pitch is all that matters. Enjoy it when we win and look forward to the next game. Let it be a lesson that when we do win things we are gracious in victory and magnanimous in defeat. WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM as fans, let us hope our team turns out to be better than theirs.

Some will choose not to because it's on the box but some who perhaps aren't regulars may choose to come because potentially it's a cracking game. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm a bit perplexed at the moment with some attitudes on here. Things are going pretty well yet people search for reasons to complain, be that about players or crowds or whatever. Fair enough don't go crazy Hull KR style at this stage of the season but there's no value in actively searching for negatives either.'"
Maybe some of the people whinging etc weren't around in the dark days so they have only seen the positive, happy side to being a Fartowner!!
20 years ago i would have laughed at anyone who would have said Huddersfield RLFc would be in the position we find ourselves, with the quality of player we have , with the crowds were getting but is happening before our eyes.
Not saying anything bad about any of our fans but those who have only been along for the recent ride haven't seen anything negative whatsoever yet so i guess the things people whinge about are negative to them !!
Anyway, i reckon Wigan will bring 2,000 + on friday so i'm damn sure we can get 7-8000 home fans for this one - i think the club have missed a marketing trick here too - The current leaders v the current champions should have been marketed more !

what aa laod of crap - its not like they are putting out a team of kids, as far as i can see they are all Super League players anyway and it is a sorry fact of our game if our current champions couldnt put out a 'competitive side' after losing a few players !!
Its like going back 15 years is this - Wigan suddenly find themselves having a good season and lo and behold the cockiness and arrongance that EVERY RL fan in the 90's hated is back !!!!

Come on now, it's not simply losing just ''a few players'' is it?
Of the unavailable group of Tomkins x2, Richards, Fielden, Gleeson, Deacon, O'Carroll -
One is the Man of Steel, one is the Young Player of the year for 2 seasons runnng, we have another 2 current England internationals out, a top class centre, Brett Finch is another top import, our chief organiser and another prop is also out.
Would you honestly fancy your chances on Friday without Brough, Hodgson, Mason, Brown, Grix, Fa'alogo et al against a Wigan team with most of the above playing?
You're right, it isn't a team of kids who haven't played before, but our 3/4 line will be having 2 inexperienced, young players in there.
The point stands that if you remove those 7 players' counterparts from Saints, Leeds or Wire, and sent them to Huddersfield you would back the Giants to win as they're a very good side.
FWIW, I expect a pretty close game, but Huddersfield will win it by 6-10 points.

| 2 of those missing is down to your illdiscipline, maybe you need to fix that before advising everyone else how they may perform with some missing players.

If you read the report properly he states those missing 'FROM SQUAD NUMBERS 1-17 IN THE SQUAD' Do McGilvray/Patrick/Fergurson have a number 1-17 on their back, like Raleigh?
Bilko works hard on his match reports, match previews and his website jsut because he says things you do not agree with doesnt make him a 'dick' and a 'moron'

You can say they are missing. Richards and Fielden more so as they would have been starting.
Leon Pryce hasn't played this season, yet he's quite clearly missing from Saints' team.

Indeed Wadski, but I'm surprised they even include someone who they have sacked yet use it in a post to get an irrelavent point across, seems to me like they are 'buttering' the bottom of the cake tin of excuses should they lose tomorrow.

i agree with the first part the website and work that goes into is commendable and something that does credit to himself and the club but his comments about the Giants are opinion.
The comments about him being a "dick", and a "moron" are also opinion whether you agree with them or not.
Personally i would say part of his review is petty, arrogant, one eyed, biiased, innacurate and small minded. My opinion only.

| Can someone explain to me why Wigan's unbeaton start to the season is supposed to be so all conquering and making Wigan the team to fear/despise in the same breath.
Started by Drawing with St Helens - Although to be fair for 70 minutes were the best team by miles - but Sts are poor this season.
Next was Bradford a big victory against a shocking side who have beaten only Wakey and Crusaders
Next was Salford - Nice win but Salford are worse than poor.
Then scraped it against Hull who have only won one this season.
So 3 wins and a draw against the lesser lights.
Next three games are Giants, Wolves and Rhino's and the Warriors have a mini injury crisis.
If anyone wants to claim that the modern side can hold a candle to the legendary exploits of the undoubtedly great Wigan team of the late eighties and early nineties they need to win these games.
Otherwise they will be in danger of being one season wonders and the arrogance shown by my fellow Wiganers will have been shown to be premature.
Roll on tomorrow, can't wait, should be a cracker. I can only see one winner (unless it's a draw )

So he is a moron who puts undue emphasis on team numbers FFS. What a plodder. There are more intelligent ways to analyse a team You believe that if you like. That's up to you.

I agree. We'd have no chance of beating Wigan this weekend if we weren't playing against them.

Tomkins for coming to the aid of his brother after Yeaman had punched Joel in the face three times. It's insane that they singled out Sam when EVERYONE was involved in that brawl.

You'd have thought that the match referee, one of the two touch judges, one of the three disciplinary panel or one of the three appeal panel would have seen the hit by Joel Tomskin being a 'fair hit'.
It does seem strange that they ALL missed it?

Thing is, they were only there. They didn't have the benefit of seeing the video replay taken from the stands on the Super League website. That clearly showed it to be a fair hit. No, really!
