It must break your heart to see what Wigan have become, petal.

That's presuming you're old enough to remember the good times.

Oh I can take seeing the team lose now and again. If you'd seen your team clean up year after year, you'd know what I'm talking about. Winning everything got boring. In fact the year we cheated to send you down was my favourite year watching Wigan. Ever

Did you watch the game? Wigan were outstanding, despite playing a poor team, they made them poor. End of. Can't wait until next week. Going to be a cracker of a game.

We're talking about the CURRENT best club in the world. And the the last thing you won was about 7 years ago. Which says it all really.

No we are not, we are talking about the greatest club in the world not the best team in the world.

On your way

And? Same difference. Your club hasn't won anything for 7 years.

Wigan have won something that some clubs couldn’t win - a Super League Licence.

So there is no difference between greatest and best? Mohammed Ali hasn't won a match for decades, but he is still arguably the greatest!

It's academic though, as your team will never be either.

Whoosh!!

Aye, watching your club and that shyster of a chairman resort to desperate measures and blatantly cheat to ensure their survival gave me a good chuckle too. It just completed your clubs fall from grace.

It's good to see your team of antipodean imports turning the corner though

It's our young Wigan lads that are helping us 'turn the corner', but thanks for your concerns about the greatest club in the world

Seriously, are you lot 6 years old or something?

Orrell - You may think Wigan are the 'greatest', others don't and they're entitled to that opinion.

Being the 'Greatest' is a matter of certain attributes matching together to form something magnificant - to which success in the past is one of those. You've probably failed in other attributes.

To judge the 'greatest' club is impossible, because so many opinions and emotions come into play.

Just a bit of banter, our kid.

Has McNamara been sacked yet? Bet his ar$e is twitching.

Aye, bad evening has made me a little grumpy.. like getting stuffed at Wigan for instance



Not that I like to see people out of a job or anything, but the sooner he goes the better.

i thought sykes copped a bit of a raw deal in that england game where he was hopelessly out of position at right centre.


not after tonight i don't fook me he was dreadful.

Yes I think something has to change at Odsal, sadly. The positivity and feel good factor that surrounded the whole club from 1996 until a couple of years ago appears to be draining away.

Steve is a lovely fella, but sadly he's not coming up with the goods despite being given a fair crack of the whip.

Calm down dear, it's just a bit of banter about a song that Wigan fans sing

The greatest club side ever was the Dragons sides of the 60's.


Just because a professional Wigan/GB outfit won a lot against amateur sides means very little.


As for their current predicament, they have been run by morons for a long time.


They have had terrible coaches.

Their junior development is dead, stone cold ****ing dead.

Their player recruitment is hopeless.


In fact, outside of the fact they have pretty much an open check book, everything else about the way the club is run is rotten to the core.


They are the London Broncos with money.

Talking as a Wire... How many times have Wigan been relegated from a division?

You are one boring mo fo. Every friggin' day on here - jeez you must hate the game over there to be "over here" so much.

Erm League Freak, haven't you heard that Wigan got taken over as a club about 18 months ago?

I despise Wigan as much as the next guy but jeeesus that's crap you're spouting.
They weren't full time for long before everyone else, in fact i'm sure I read somewhere Leeds were actually the first fully pro club.
Their youth development has been pretty good throughout the last ten years, granted they've let most of their talent go but you only have to look around Huddersfield; sorry Super League to see the talent they've produced.
Add to that they've had a different owner for about a year now.

1. Yes you're right both Wigan and Leeds where Full time clubs with a few ither teams having one or two players that where full time. However does that sound like good competition to you ?

2. Name me one world class player that Wigan have produced in the last 5 years ?

Not necessarily world class but they've produced some good players across the league.
Their development is Certainly not 'stone cold dead'.

well before my time so not going to comment



current board have been in charge for around 18 months



shaun ainscough, sam tomkins, paul prescott, eamonn o'carrol, gareth hock, sean o'loughlin, darrell goulding, joel tomkins, michael mcilorum have all come through the ranks and often start in the first team harrison hansen.
