I can see where some of them are coming from.

Most of the games that are played, i just dont care about either.

I think this boils down to the Play off system more than anything, as that is where the exciting games start.

Wigan fans face the triple whammy:

They're losing.
They're losing gutlessly.
They're losing gutlessly and without a shred of entertainment.

Most fans can get by if the team shows a bit of flair from time to time. But under Noble they're turning into the Wimbledon of RL.

Just wait till the CC Semi and possibly the CC Final.

See how many are saying this then

If all the teams below wigan, apart from celtic win their games in hand. They'll be in 12th position just above Salford on points difference.!!!!!!!!!!!

And of course the "4th" whammy of having their rivals 4 points clear at the top and yet again favourites for everything.
Good times indeed

Wigan are second in the number of tries scored this season.
Wigan have made more metres than ANY club in Superleague.

So it's not an entertainment / gutless thing.

For some reason, and we've sunk gallons discussing, it we cannot close out close games, I think it's now seven we've lost by around six points.

We'll still finish in the top six and then it's game on.
I'm not defending the playoff system, the top 5 was by far the best system, but you have got to play to the system that is in place regardless.

I'm hoping we get through to the elimination semi and Saints chose us. That would be fun.

I think your about rignt there, your points difference doesn't look like a team that have lost 3 more than they've won.

The tries suggests you've been entertaining but you've played more games than anyone other than wakefield so its a bit of a false comparison - especially the metres gained.

The talent is there McMagic proved your capabiliies but unless you get some consistency back and string together a few wins in a row 6th is all you hope for this season but you do seem to know how to work the play offs!
