Now your just making yourself look desperate.
I'll tell you what, for fun we'll take away the championships that Wigan won during the greatest period in our existence, that you no doubt felt were won on an unfair playing field. Even though there was nothing stopping Saints or any other club for that matter from matching Wigan's ambition through those years, well other than their own lack of ambition and vision. That perhaps goes a long to explaining why you won bugger all worth mention during those years.
We have the same number of championship wins. Twelve a piece. That is until I add the other seven that Wigan won, taking us well ahead of Saints. Making us the most successful Rugby League club ever.
PS: Rugby League didn't begin in 1996.

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?

Full time professional rugby did though called Superleague, thats the new standard measurement.

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.

| Quote ="SomersetSaint"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.

| It's just a prime example of why obvious trolls should just get banned no warning and do it sine die like they do on Cherry and White. When I post on other teams boards I try to be polite and even though it is very tempting to get involved in sledging it normally just ruins the threads so it's pointless. Pie eaters are easily offended especially by the truth , I understand they should be allowed to live in their own bubble on cherry and white (very much like Wigoon in real life) but they should'nt be allowed to project there fantasies here The fact they seem to have a mental block about beating part timers for years (with a load of hollow cup/league wins) is just a prime example, everyone outside Goon land knows real Rugby League took a break in the late 80's and early 90's

I'm o.k.
I actually posted on their other site last night.
Here it is.
"Just got back.
That was the most unlike Wigan performance in terms of defence and ball control I have seen in years. I'll watch the recording before I comment on the referee, but at the game I thought we were on the wrong end of three crucial calls.
However, even if he got them wrong it doesn't excuse the errors we made and the poor defensive effort. Leeds were well worthy of their win."
And here's my post on there after watching the recording
"Having watched it again this morning the three decisions, forward, pass, ball strip and knock on were bad ones from the officials, but that doesn't excuse Wigans poor completion rate, 61% and shambolic defending.
Leeds were worthy winners."

Te ball strip was a good call , he meant to do it and he got caught . Tough luck. The knock on was a clear miss and made me chuckle so much

| It was absolutely priceless. The Wigan fans can say what they like about getting screwed out of some decisions but after their smugness all season and Shaun Wane's obsessive comments about us in the week, it makes it all the better. Really enjoyed it!

| What hasn't been mentioned, unless it's buried deep in the woeful trolling, was Leeds kicking game. Last night like on many big occasions, it was fantastic, constantly finding space and turning the goons around. It's something that we miss big time. Gaskell is ok, wilkin has the odd good kicking game and roby chimes in with a few 40/20s. But other than that our kicking is sub standard.
Another point that seems to have been overlooked is McDermott. How can he coach such a clueless looking team for the majority of the season only to turn in performances when they matter? Is he a genius, lucky or what? He appears to have tge x factor

They have a group of players who know how to win, and although they seem to have lost some consistency they are still capable of turning in world class performances. They were a good team before McDermott so I wouldn't be giving him much if any credit

It's more likely the case that in these games they ignore coaches instructions to a degree and play using their experience.

Yes, the DW is very nice. Not yours though is it? The City of Manchester Stadium, Wembley, the Nou Camp, Giants' Stadium and Stadium:MK are all lovely stadiums too. You don't own any of them either. Langtree Park isn't as nice as any of those. But it is ours. We own precisely 1 stadium more than you do. Ha.
Quote ="LovesToSpooge"Certainly nothing that a good 3 or 4 years from Wigan couldn't put right.'"
Yes, you'll be really successful being driven around the field by a 3rd rate Saints reject given that your academy can't produce a half of it's own worth a damn, eh? You can have Gaskell too in a few years once he's proved similarly incapable of producing at a top SL level if you like?
...and that is officially my last response to your tedious and laughable trolling my inbred chum

McDermott must have put yesterday's game plan together, I doubt kev Sinfield just decided to kick Wigan to death.
McDermott has took loads of stick over past two years but his tactics was spot on yesterday.
