Great read this thread.

And it does without doubt show how anything we put on these forums can come back and bite you on the backside.

Its all good fun though

To be fair, the original of this thread was created years ago. Around the time Wigan were sh*te, so it's accurate really.

What a great thread!

We all should have an opportunity to show our appreciation of the Pie People.

We've got Cas, you've got Wigan.....looks like GOD had a sense of humour after all

'tis true. I am solely responsible for Saints' decline. From the very first moment the Envy-O-Meter has brought the club nothing but bad luck.

I feel like one of those poor sods in a Greek tragedy who challenge the power of the Gods and then get squashed like a bug.

Marrying your own mother is a common occurence in St. Helens as well.

Sorry? Has the season finished with you at the top of the league or have you won something?

Or should we be envying the way you stick with youngsters like Shaun Ainscough and don't give their place to yet another overpaid overseas player?

Whilst I realise this post is a year old can I put to you:

J Tomkins
S Tomkins
L Mossop
S O'loughlin
D Goulding
L Farrell
C Tuson
J Charnley
S Marsh
E Ocarrol
P Prescott

Just for starters

The player in question was simply not good enough. Please can you name the overseas player that took his place?

Must've been Amos "The Hands" Roberts? In all fairness though, Ainscough has a chance now with another good club, so who cares if its with his original side?

Just found the Wigan envyometer, it's reading about the same as usual

usually after a particularly good or prestigious win I ask 'Harry, can you tell me what the current reading is?'

Personally, I dont really envy Wigan that much...

After all, the last 3 years has been our transitional period (losing Scully, Long, KC between 08-10 who were our main strike players, as well as the likes of Gidley, Talau, Gilmour etc who were class acts for us but got too old) and with the replacements we have signed and youngsters we have blooded it still looks like a very bright future for us.

And we have gone through this phase staying in the top 3 of SL each season, 3 CCSF appearances and 2 GFs so far with possibility of a 3rd GF...havent almost been relegated/finished bottom of the pile and have only lacked silverware for 3 seasons including this one, not 8 years like Wigan before last year.

Whilst Wigan are a superb side now and deserve their glory at the moment, I would rather stay consistently up there and look to challenge again over next couple of years than hit the lows our neighbours over the hill had to hit before rising again to where they are now personally
