But then you players would lack match fitness for the playoffs and you'd have a bad position, below 4th.

| I agree, finishing top may not be remembered in the future but in the present it shows how much progression there has been and the 'hubcap' could be actual proof of the progression. It'll mean more to Wigan fans than anything else.

| Quote ="Steve Ella's Beard"I really can't understand why it matters to you that a bunch of Wigan fans on a Wigan board being pleased that their team has shown a distinct and consistent improvement over previous seasons, and would be chuffed to finish top even if we don't win the Grand Final - it's a big step forwards.
Some of your points are valid, but why does it matter to you to try and 'convert' people?'"
It doesn't matter as such, I just made a comment and then got drawn into the debate as various people disagreed with it.

Fair play then.
I think people are just happy to finally see some consistency (compared to previous years of Wigan)

Wigan were at least 20 points better than Huddersfield today. Only the referee kept them anywhere close to us.

We could just bring them back for last couple of games. Easy this super league lark, thats why every team that wins the playoffs has just sauntered into the top 8.

So do I.
Let's face it they have some class big game players and are always gonna be a threat when it's knock out football.
The good point from a Wigan perspective is we are at the start of our journey with players like Sam, Joel, Mossop, Goulding, Farrell and to a lesser extent Tommy & Lockers. We are where Leeds were when they won their first SL title IMO and I hope we can follow thier path as well.

Radio Manc stated Wigan took a very good following today, so looking at that 5-6K home fans is just shocking. Th'owd chap at Huddersfield (Ken Bates wannabe) must be tearing his hair out especially after pumping hundreds of thousands of pounds into the club essentially giving season tickets away!

I think you will. But be patient. The ''current crop'' won their first title in 04. But it was a few years after that before they got the knack of winning big games often.

I was thinking about the 04 crop as well.
A long way to go yet but plenty of time on our side also.
I still think we need that Peacock esq signing to make us a real force but again I trust IL and Madge to make that happen.

We've already beaten Huddersfield x 2, Saints, Leeds and yourselves.
You've yet to beat one of the likely top 4.

It was the position the penalties were awarded in as well. As I've mentioned on another thread, nearly all of theirs seemed to be on the 4th or 5th tackle about 20 yards from our line. Most of ours seemed to be in our own defensive zone.
For the Giants to not have won comfortably when enjoying such advantages was pathetic. And as for Kevin Brown - I take everything back that I said last week. They can keep him. He can't tackle for toffee, and still makes ridiculous decisions with ball in hand.
