Its not "21-12's" fault to be fair.

He's had something called the FEAR since August 2009.

God help him next month.

Saints the new Wire?

I think you've just given Wigan fans a new and exciting way to really, really insult you. Thanks

Yes is the answer

to be honest that is exactly how games have gone for us against you in the past...we are in it till half time...then you pulled away...weird.

No is the answer. If we where the new wire, we would have not been seen for dust at the end of that match.

We have plenty left to offer come the business end, as I'm sure Warrington do as well, but we are far from in the Warrington position of fighting to make the top 6 or top 8.

We are just a few players short, for me 1 prop and 1 fb. The rest is about being consistent both during a match and from match to match.

The difference was Briers' DG that showed the mentality to close the game out.

That is a very generous comparison of Warrington. I'd be more tempted to use Tottenham as a comparsion. Although I'll probably be eating my words tonight.

I'm more worried as the match gets closer. Lets hope it's not an embarrasement.

Tottenham? They haven't won a major trophy since the days of El Tel, Lineker and Gazza two-footing himself into hospital.

Man City - a club with gobby annoying fans who have been wallowing in the pit of mediocrity for three decades before getting an owner with money so they can now outspend everyone else in the game and their fans can shoot their mouths off at clubs with far greater history.

I agree, nothing like the Wire.

Saints are the Arsenal of RL. A few years ago the most irresistible force in the game, they've declined since then but haven't gone into freefall, they have gone from being the swaggering exponents of the beautiful game to the nearly men, always producing good young players but missing the senior world-class players that they used to have. Still they seem to always be in the mix till the end of the season. They will be in trouble if their best player realises his dream of finally playing abroad though.

Fabregas is finally going to Barcelona, then?

Re: Are we the new Wire? : Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:25 am  

I reckon Fabregas will go this year if Arsenal can get a big enough fee. It's the only way they will have enough transfer funds for Wenger to be able to invest in big gun defenders and hard tackling central mids. The problem with building the side around Fabregas is Arsenal will just keep doing the same that they have been doing....year after year. Wenger probably also knows that Wilshere can do the Fabregas job and the side can be better balanced with other players around him. The mistake they made IMO was letting Diarra go to Portsmouth a few years ago, because he wanted first team football....they missed out on the guy who would have made a big impact for their side.

However this is where Arsenal are different to Saints. If Roby signs for the NRL they won't get £35m for him which they can use to sign a load of great players, all it does in RL is frees up his salary on the salary cap, so at best you can sign one world class player as a replacement. So if Roby goes to the NRL then the Saints will be writing off the old derbies against Pies and Wire and will be looking forwards to their big rivalry with Salford.
