But Wigan were seen doing it. That was his point wasn't it?

Nobody gets out of third gear against Cas. It's like playing in treacle.

I've not seen Wigan playing anything like play off football that you need to win finals! they tried to shut the dulls out of the game with tight hit up sets and lost!

Mate, we've played playoff football for the last 2 seasons being one game away from th GF both times. We are playing [umuch[/u better so far this year. I know you think rugby league begins and ends with Leeds, however, keep posting this stuff. Just don't be surprised when a lot of it ends up as sig material.

You've been 1 game from the GF the past 3 years



Surely if you were playing playoff football you'd have made it at least one of those?!



We even gave you a chance last year by giving you Saints

er, I would have thought playing in the [uplayoffs [/uqualifies as 'playoff football' whether you get to the GF or not....

Uh huh - You'd think, wouldn't you......

yeah and your not great at it! To be honest cas looked like they had the beating of you

And had Bird not gone off Catalan looked as though they had the beating of Leeds.

What's your point?

I don't think hit up sets and a kick, tight play offs football is something Wigan do well! in previous seasons it hasn't gone well. And against the bulls when you tried to shut em out you feel appart! I didn't say the team can't do it I've just not seen it yet.



and agree re Catalan but they were always chasing the scoreboard. we amassed our Lead that they couldnt catch whilst bird was on the field.

What he was trying to say is that the Wigan team vs Cas wasnt in-form, it was a lathargic performance with just enough effort put in to win the game with relative comfort. If the game was closer or it was against a better team no way would Wigan concede soft tries like that.
