Leeds had a bigger squad than Wigan,
Leeds squad was far more expensive than Wigan's
Leeds only trophy in those times was the Yorkshire cup.

The facts are the facts! when Wigan where on top of the world they had..
the best players
the most money to spend on players
more great britain players than any other club
the best coaches
the best chairman :shock:
the best crowds
the best away following crowds
I could go on and on but....

the reason why Saints and Leeds have overtook Wigan is that they have simply been better than Wigan at recruiting better players and also have had very little injuries during the past 3 or 4 years the answer is very simple the salary cap has ruined Wigan's plans to back at number one again.
Look at premier league football for example if man utd chelsea arsenal etc had to oblige by a salery cap it would be possible that another team that recruits the better players than those 3 would be top!





i think you may be slightly wrong when you say saints have had very few injuries in the last 3/4 years matey boy!!

The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.

It is a hard pill to swallow but unbelievably true.

I wasnt a Wigan fan when we were winning everything but to think any Wigan fan found it boring is silly! If i was around then i would have been first through that turnstile every week home and away absolutely lapping it up!!


Indeed, loved every minute of it!!!!!

Not like the successful teams these days who get bored within a season or two!!
