[quote="St pete"]I've got to take my hat off to the Ape though wining the double. It's got to be the worst team on paper to ever win a cup never mind the double.

Wigan always work hard and play for each other.[/quote

Why the worst team ever? Half of them are too young to have made a name for themselves yet....and they beat established teams?? Remind me again who is the worst team on paper??

You are capable of some very lucid discussion. No need to call him puerile names. And winning a cup, or two, probably means it isn't the worst team, on paper or otherwise.
I know it's hard to give respect, even grudgingly, but there's no need for disrepect.

Sad times calls for dirty measures!!

It's exactly what I said, I think it's the worst team to ever win the grand final. Maybe that's more of a compliment for Wane and his team that a average team has done the double.

Whatever you say mate. Saints win trophys and there a great team,wigan win trophys and the standard of super league is poor,and wigan are the worst team to win the double. Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Not jealous at all mate. I just think on paper it's a poor poor team and the worst to win a grand final. I've got great respect for Wigan team, they work hard, well coached and are winners. It's a team with only one star in Sam tomkins, the rest are nothing special but have great work ethic.

That's his point, genius.

Look at your own team. Look at the players you've lost. People thought when Leulie and Finch were replaced by Smith and Green, it would be a real step down, but you've made it work.
Smith has nowhere near the all round ability/star quality of Leiulieu, but Wane saw that he had a massive boot and knew he could make the rest of his game work within the team. Smith's worked hard and became an integral part of a very slick operation.

Had Wigan not signed him, do you think Salford would've not signed Chase and Tim Smith (who failed at Wigan, remember)? Of course they would.

However other fans phrase it, its a compliment to Wane, its a compliment to the Wigan club and culture and its a compliment to the lads who pull on the shirt every week.
