Haha I think you're getting confused with who has caught who here. You make it too easy.

A personal insult to another poster that had to be deleted and the resulting jealousy displayed speaks volumes about how you're viewing our success.

19.

No problems from me about how Wigan put together their great teams in the 1980s and 1990s, there was nothing stopping other teams from going full time and showing some ambition and as for nearly bankrupting themselves, Wigan are hardly unique amongst rugby league clubs for that...

I'm sure if Warrington win the Grand Final there won't be any Wigan fans on here saying things like "how do Warrington get all of their signings under the salary cap, its not fair". We've never heard that line from Wiganers.

Similarly I'm sure you all support the ambition of Marvan Koukash to come in to revitalise Salford like Uncle Maurice did to Wigan in the 1980s and if Salford start winning on the back of Koukash's money you will respect their success too and be happy for them.

It would be great for the game if Salford did come good with Koukash's money, the more big clubs the btter imo and Rugby League needs all the money it can get.

So when did things become even?
The next time I see Murphy and Boston I'll tell them that their winners medals count for nothing. Do you want an invite?

That is comedy gold, when in any sport has anything been even?

I don’t wonder, I know and so do you, the difference is you can’t accept it!

Oh believe me, I fully accept my reasons for hating you, and not one of them involve envy in the slightest. I'd be embarrassed to have the levels of smug arrogance that some of you have.

You do realise, if we take away 1988-1995 from the equation, Wigan are still the most successful club in RL?

Possibly the finest point of the homecoming this afternoon was when 'Simply the Best' was played over the PA system and the thousands of loyal supporters all sang as one to a tune so synonymous with unparalleled success.

The Saints fans LOVE that song.
I was outside the Raven when it was being played and two ladies were giving it rock, singing their heads off.

All I care about is that I have been blessed in seeing my club lift the cup 12 times. Which is as many as any other club has won in their entire history.

Why should Rugby League be Even and Fair? no other sport is! Football isnt even, Rugby U isnt, Athletics isnt even, F1 racing isnt run where all the teams are even, SO why should Rugby League be run differently??
Why should Wigan be brought down to the same level of low ambition, achievement/performance as St Helens or Wakefield for eg.? why should the other teams in the game not show some ambition and try to achieve some success for a change?

The Home coming parade was Great today.

Should have been "19".

And how many of them cups were won whilst playing against fellow professional clubs?

"how many of those cups where won against cubs with less ambition that Wigan"

Once again, if you take out 1988-1995 Wigan are still the most successful club in RL, so your argument is still invalid.

Even more invalid when you consider Leeds were the first Professional club, not Wigan.

I've checked the records. None of our wins have an asterix against them.

Cubs? Also, you need to make it clear if you are actually asking a question.

Let me guess, you're a communist?

I like this comment.

Take away your 8 challenge cup wins in that period and you're left with 11. We have 12. Makes your claims of being the "cup kings" look quite silly doesn't it?

No.

spelling and punctuation aside, you are completely ignoring the 'point' which is rather typical of you

just to make it easier:

1 wigan weren't the first professional club

&

2 what stopped every other non-professional club at the time from doing what Wigan did?

I didn't say 'Most Successful Club in CC History' I said in RL. Check the records. I'll wait. The fact remains, that even when you take away our most successful period in our history, we're still head and shoulders above everyone, and this claim we're only famous because of 8 years in the late 80s and early 90s is laughable. Wigan were THE club well before 1988.
