Only 4th place for the self-proclaimed greatest club in the world?

You won the same amount of silverware as the team that finshed bottom and that makes you as crap as us.

I was just defending the fact that Wigan had been called rubbish.

Getting to 3 semi-finals in 2 years is not rubbish.

Your final comment is laughable. We won more games than you, and lost less. We did better head to head.

Yet somehow Wigan and Castleford are on a par.

Don't insult us from your paltry 12th place in the table.

No Cas are a far better team than Wigan could ever hope to be.

You know, you're right. We're not on a par at all.

10 Castleford 1 0 0 1 8 12 0
11 Warrington 1 0 0 1 14 26 0
12 Wigan 2 0 0 2 16 30 0

So come the end of 80 minutes this Friday, we'll be 2 points clear with a healthy +70 points difference and a game in hand too.

Nobody remembers who got 4th place or to the semi final, they only remember trophy winners and Wigan won as many as Cas last year.

OK I'll accept your not as crap as Cas, just a bit crap.

How can any Wigan fan believe what they write when they say Wigan are a good side, and better than Cas? If it Weren't for the fact there are fourteen teams in this division this season instead of twelve you'd be in a much worse position. When Catalan win their game in hand Wigan will be 13th and that will be where they will stay for the rest of this season, just ahead of a side that was only formed about a week ago in a Welsh WMC. TBH, i've seen glimpses of Celtic that show they can certainly push Wigan close this season. Think yourself lucky you got a franchise and can now build on it. Try and invest in some youth and bring through some players and maybe one day you can have as many local kids playing for your side as Harlequins and Catalan are doing, they're showing you the way forward. Maybe then you can compete with the likes of Wakey, Cas and Hudds week in week out.

Good luck on friday, hope it's a good game and we don't just run away with it, knocking up a cricket score. That's no good for SL and will do your club no good in the long run. Keep supporting your team and maybe you can get through these tough times!

One of the new academy lads from westhoughton (4 miles from wigan) was offered the same deal at wigan and decided his future lay with cas
