Does Somersetsaints post even meet "Tripe" qualification. Angry, bitter and jealous sounds more like it.

He is a top talent and a loss to the game over here, not sure he's ready for the NRL yet but I guess we'll all find out soon enough. Some of the goon 'loyal 18' or whatever crap they call themselves have picked on some of his errors because he is leaving, they obviously choose to forget that he's a young lad still learning.

I liked the look of Ainscough, it was refreshing to see a winger with real pace who was happy to go on the outside occasionally but I guess he just didn't develop enough to iron out the flaws in his game, probably wasn't helped by Nobby much.

Sounds like a great description of your own fans and coach after last seasons grand final. Still not over it yet either

Complete joke! Just sipping at a nice cool cocktail actully laughing at reading that.

Give them something to cry about.

Thought that'd make your holiday even better

It's always good to hear Wigan misfortune no matter if home or holiday.

You actually have a thread dedicated to just talking about us?

Do you not think that is a bit weird? Genuinely weird?

You're the one reading it, pal.

I know

I was just having a nosy on here tonight to see, if there was any chatter about Ryan Hampshire.

Was a little shocked to find this thread.

I do think its a little strange though.

Still, each to their own

To Most Saints fans, Wigans misfortunes are nearly as good as Saints successes. And i know the reverse is is true on the dark side of the lump

I believe they might be considering future mass wedding ceremonies at the ground due to the prodical son Tomkins causing salary cap difficulties.
Will this mean they will close 2 stands in the ground causing mass opposing fans migration.

You have no idea what constitutes "strange" on this site. I could tell you some stories, believe me...

Not sure if this has been mentioned by the pitch at LTP is looking excellent and it has since it 1st opened. I believe it was grown from seed???

You can bet it will be like a bowling green - on the precise day Hull KR's entire back division comes down with a mystery incapacitating virus.

if the home ground is not available in the footy don't they just switch the fixture around so the away team are now the home team? Would make more sence

Grass grown from seed? I am not having that!

Look at this dimwit.

What's in the water in Wigan at all?

'Good development with great planning works' says the supporter of a team with 3 titles in 18 years to supporters of a team who are presently champions and have won a third of all available silverware in the last 15 years despite going through our biggest drought since the 1980s.

Honestly, they're bloody crazy Wiganers. They'd be as well building a wall around the place and nuking it. God knows what goes on there.

Oh dear. Always best to be careful calling someone a dimwit.

Your obvious knowledge of Rugby League clearly doesn't extend to pretty basic physics.

Did you think that building a wall would stop nuclear fallout from causing quite literally hundreds of pounds worth of damage in Sintellins then?

I blame it on all the Burtonwood & Greenalls ale that used to get supped it ruined many a man.

Since IL took over tell me how many have we won compared to you. 4-1. You do have a good youth structure but to bring in a player from the NRL to cover one of the most important role in a side now is not that great planning considering most knows that Lomax will not play that many games. Lomax is an exceptional player that now looks like his career is in trouble. No side will pay a wage for a player injured for so long and keep him. But you do have to admit Wigan and especialy IL planning works through either luck or judgement we got Sam back sooner than i thought.

When Masoe leaves and there is now allegedly interest in the NRL for him will you promote someone of get someone in. I was not happy we did not get Burns when we knew that Green was leaving but again good planning seems that Williams is settling down in that role.

You seem to think i was disrespecting Saints but i was not i was merely pointing out that again in a key position you have to go and get a player in not promote. Apart from Roby now not one of you 6 7 and 1 now has come through the club. I do wish Lomax luck and hope i am wrong that it could be the end for him at Saints.

Not having a go but who could play and full back from your present squad if you did not get McDonnell.

Are you for real ?

Our first two choice full backs are Lomax and Wellens. Both Saints products and both injured. Our third full back is Makinson, another product. However, Dawson's injury means we can't lose Makinson from the wing, although funnily enough we've played Fleming and Bailey, two youth products, there in the meantime. Both Makinson and Swift, both products of our youth can play full back but we need them on the wings, hence McDonnell was brought in.

Masoe is being replaced by Tasi, as is our right. With Richards, Savelio and Thompson all playing prop and all developments from our youth, I find it amusing that you suggest we don't focus on it here, especially when your props include Clubb, Tautai, Patrick and Flower. All brought in.

Our recent half back development includes Eastmond, an England RU international, Smith, another England international although God knows how, Gaskell, another talent and Lomax, now at full back. Since that slowed we've brought in Walsh and Burns, who will no doubt be looked to be replaced from within. Remember, how you did the same when you had Finch and Leuluai, then Green, who you tried to replace with Burns ? It's called 'great planning'



Outside this we've brought through the likes of Roby, Graham, Greenwood and Percival - all present or future internationals.

If you want to moan about youth development, I suggest you go and do it with someone that doesn't excel beyond pretty much everybody at doing so.

I think Smith got his international call up because he was the best English 7 in SL albeit with a poor pool to pick from. I know he plays for Wigan but that shouldn't need god's help in understanding why he was selected.

Saints, Leeds and Wigan all have good youth development and all bring in players from outside the system presumably because at the time they are better than players in the squad. That's being pragmatic.

Of course they do. They plan well and give kids a chance to play. They also prefer signing British talent above imports.

Those three clubs lead the way in British RL and it'd be nice to see the rest follow the same policy. It'd also be nice to see an element of balance in some poster's posts as opposed to suggesting that the present champions of this country, with a side packed full of locally produced players, don't plan well.
