there was nothing stopping Saints or any other club for that matter from matching Wigan's ambition through those years

Nothing apart from basic common sense over not wanting to mortgage our future spending money we didn't have on buying up the league that is. We have our own shiny brand new stadium now. You're a bunch of rent boys going cap in hand to a rich Premier League football club taking second billing to some chav's wedding reception. All because of all that "success" you had maxed out all your credit cards buying back then. All our success came in an era of fair competition and a level playing field for all and will eternally mean a million times more than anything that your Uncle Mo bought you chummy.

Were those soulless, empty, meaningless shells of trophies won in a one-sided league of men against boys for a decade worth having to live rough on the streets of Orrell, begging a bed for the night and a cup of tea off the Latics now?

Now your just making yourself look desperate.

PS: Rugby League didn't begin in 1996.

Full time professional rugby did though called Superleague, thats the new standard measurement. Pre Superleague it was a desperation by Wigan once they got out of the second division was to buy, buy, buy. All those memories are confined to a giant metal rugby ball in a supermarket car park. Desperation by Wigan to try and fulfil there fixture scheduling by playing secong fiddle to a football club and a couple of weddings.

Wigan have still a long way to go to match saints in the full time era, thats why Mr Wanes hurts being in the Saints Shadow, Cant catch us for Superleague wins, cant match us for Challenge Cup Wins, Cant match us for League Leaders etc. etc.

First of all I like it when you change the subject because you realize you've just been pwned. And therefore have to change tack to try and claw some ground back.

Yep the fewer trophy's you've won really do mean a lot more don't they.

The DW's a brilliant facility, better than many stadia built a decade later. You'll know what I mean you've been to Langtree Park.


This is the way the lazy Sunday's should be filled.

I've said on other threads that tge goons have managed to paper over their lack of recruitment last season up to now. However, unless they pull off a major coup and I don't mean replacing lulu and finch with smith, then they will really struggle, particulalrly if they pick up an injury to tomkins. Add to this the fact that il will now be working full time at Oxford united and pumping his cash in there, then this season could well be their last chance of silverware for a while. Heaps of pressure come play off time

Finch, Leuluai and Lima are big spots to fill next year which I'm sure they're aware of. Smith won't be able to do it on his own unless they're going to push Tomkins up there into the halves.

Well played to Leeds too. They really took the game to the pies upfront. Peacock was absolutely immense in those opening twenty minutes, really rising to the occasion like the leader that he is. Defensively the pies looked well off the pace to their normal game which is understandable being two props light. That said, Thaler missed a couple of clangers but that's karma for you

Superleague is still in it's infancy in the grand scheme of all things Rugby League.

I don't think "can't catch" is the correct wording. Who's to say in five years time that Wigan won't have overtaken Saints in everyone of those comps. We have after all won three of those trophy's in the last two years compared to Saints...... well zero! So we're certainly heading in the right direction. And for all the success you have had your not really that far ahead. Certainly nothing that a good 3 or 4 years from Wigan couldn't put right.
