Shaun Wane says that Wigan tried to win the LLS, and yet so many posters on here are convinced that Wigan didn't really try.
I'm also struggling to remember when SW has rested players. Apart from Matty Bowen who has dodgy knees and couldn't play every game, I can't recall the team not being picked on merit. We have had a shed load of injuries to contend with but I don't recall SW resting anyone in particular. I think he has (Bowen excepted) put out the strongest team barring injuries.
I wish I'd known that we weren't going to be trying to win, as some posters would have it, before I paid out to go to Wakefield, Bradford, Hull KR and Widnes. Mind you with my no doubt untrained eyes, It certainly LOOKED like we were trying...we just weren't good enough.
Saints have been the best of a bad lot. But they HAVE been the best. Better than us over the season. However, contrast the standard from this season with 2010 when Madge's team won the LLS. I certainly remember some celebrations then and we were more than happy to win the 'hub cap'. So let's not try to rubbish Saints achievement, because I for one wanted to win the LLS.
