This was the year, accroding to their fans, that they would return to former glories. With world class players like Timmy and Tommy (LOL) they couldnt fail this year.

They have just lost, at HOME to a wakefield team decimated by injuries

Grow up, its the first game of the season and such things happen to the best of us! e.g.

Saints 6 - 14 Harlequins
Friday 9th Feb 2007, 8:00pm

WT Wildcats 29 - 22 Saints

Ohhh chill out. If you want to be all so serious, dont bother posting. For the rest of us that want to revel in Wigans defeat, we can.

I know it's only one game, and we lost our first game at the start of last season, but the manner of the defeat today could well set the tone for Wigan in the weeks to come.

Already the NOBLE OUT threads are starting, Mathers is a waste of space ( from our old friend King Warrior ) another.

You've got to laugh, haven't you.

That's a very naive perspective based on the opening 40 minutes of their first game of the season.

As we saw in the game on friday, the opening games of any season will see teams struggle against lack of competitive match practice, christ knows we've struggled ourselves in past seasons from the same thing.

Much as i don't like them, i wouldn't be so quick to right them of based on one half of rugby.

Give it a rest.

I've been reading on here all pre season how Wigan are this and Wigan are that....well they have just lost in their first game of the season, at home against mediocre opposition. If ridiculing them after reading the nonsense (including their captain this morning stating what they are going to do) is naive then I am indeed being naive. Any Saints fan who fears Wigan need their heads seeing to, they are garbage, end of. The only way they will beat us, yet again, is if we play pathetically, which we are capable of.

No one is denying your right to gloat fella, just think you could use some brain cells doing so!

We all hate it when their lot and the Leeds boys come and gloat when we lose, all you do posting this tripe is give them ammo for later in the season.

Dude, I dont remember our fans gloating to the extreme like Wigan fans have been doing about how they couldnt fail this year. Just read some of the recent threads on cherry&white. Thats why I am gloating. I am more than aware that we could fall foul too, but until that happens, I am gladlly going to gloat

from what I saw today they lacked a creative spark. They were stood utterly flat in attack at times and near the line they just looked lost. Riddell looks terribly unfit too and they had no real impact off the bench.

Obviously we dont know how we'll fare this year but from what I saw today Wigan wont be in the running for honours although I'm sure they will grind out there fair share of results.

I just think it's so funny that they lost! To be honest, I was expecting them to win given Wakey's injury problems. But to lose at home is just too much for me to cope with. I just have to laugh!

Enjoy it now but the same could happen to us on friday.

Lets not go too mad eh boys and girls?
