Your recent results against both Leeds and Saints give credence to his view, irrespective of anyones emotive take on his view.

Not a tricky concept to grasp.

He is also that "stupid" he has elicited responses from wiser, all knowing arm chair fans.

Schofield by plenty.

Whats Andy Farrell up to these days? Id love to hear his take on it

He also said the same about Leeds in 2005.

Not that I like the guy or put any crededence to him, but he said back then that Leeds had peaked too early and would win neither trophy.

Unfortunately, he was spot on with that. He also got a bit personal with a couple of players which he has been shown up for.

All that the results against Leeds and St Helens show is that Wigan aren't quite the finished article yet. Both games were so close they could have gone either way.

Neither indicate that Wigan have 'peaked'.

Anyone who doesn't recognise that is as big an idiot as Schofield.

So warrington have lost to us, Leeds and Saints

Saints have lost to us and Hull fc

We have lost to Leeds and saints

Leeds have lost to us and saints

All the contending teams have lost against playoff teams this season. So by your way of thinking we may as well donate the trophy to charity

That's just the brand of "optimism" we've been fed on over the past few years

. Don't worry, I'm sure it will pass come October when Lockers is hoisting up the SL trophy at OT

I honestly don't care what Garry Schofield thinks and to be honest no self-respecting Rugby League fan should

Garry Schofield = Ian Millward

I don't think we need concern ourselves with what either of these gobes think, just get on with the job in hand.....1 match at a time.

Whatever Schofield writes in the newspapers is tomorrows chip wrapper unless of course you come from lobbyland, in which case it's cut into smallish squares and pinned up behind the outside bog door......come to think of it, can't think of a more appropriate use for a Schofield piece.

Sadly on this occasion I agree with Gary Schofield, I think next year could be a very special one for Wigan though.

Didn't we nearly sign him once ?

he would have been awesome in our team at the time.

Apparently he was desperate to come to Wigan, but the club kept saying 'no'. Whether because he was asking too much money, or because they didn't rate him compared to the star three-quarters they already had, I'm not sure.

But this decision by Wigan ensured that he would never see much silverware during his career. Probably explains the pathological hatred towards Wigan that he's shown ever since.

Personally, I'd have signed him - but only on the condition that he first shaved off what was surely (and still is) the crappest moustache in the history of facial hair.

No arguments there!!

I remember a testimonial at CP, either Dermott's or Edwards', and at half time they had a kicking comp. There was Botica, Hampo, Schofield and a Latics player. The pop stand was just chanting "Gary Moustache, Gary Moustache, woah, woah" everytime he was kicking.

He took it quite well and had a bit of banter with the crowd.

I am not sure about that, apparently we offered him a massive deal for the time and he turned us down to stay loyal to Leeds on a much smaller contract, something that he very much now regrets as I understand it as he never felt his loyalty to Leeds was repaid by the club.

I'm sure I read something he wrote expressing just that. You'd have thought that someone of his talents would have had no shortage of offers.

All 3 paragraphs sadly, for you, are factually incorrect.

As for the 3rd, Kurt Sorenson by plenty.

I cant say I ever really rated him as a player and always though he was overated. He certainly wasnt a patch on the players we had at the time.

Tuigamala and Connolly were our centres at the time, Offiah and Robinson our wingers. We had Edwards, Botica and Henry Paul tossing the stand-off position around between them, and young Kris Radlinski starting to fill in at full-back.

I don't think we needed to be too sad.

Really? Despite that being nigh on 20 years ago.

I see.

You do know Thatcher no longer is in power?

Speaking of Schofield and Wigan, search for "Big fat Garry Schofield" on a well known video site



Apols if referred to already, haven't read the whole thread.

History - Surely you don't need us to tell you that we're the most successful club in world rugby.

Present - We're doing quite nicely at the top of the league at the moment, attendances are on the up (nearly 15,500 average atm),

Future - Our youngsters are sweeping all aside in their competitions - coming through in great numbers.

What's there to be sad about.

So all of a sudden you're not talking about the time when Garry Schofield wanted to join Wigan, and Wigan said 'no'.

In which case, when exactly were we supposed to be sad?

Got to agree - a trophy this year is a big ask bearing in mind what this squad, inherited by MM, achieved last year .... full credit to MM in achieving so much this year.

MM will already be having a big say in the signings for next year and I can't wait to see what this guy will achieve with a squad of his own!

So Gary you may or may not be right on this occassion .... but I will wager you £20 we still finish top of the pile in 2010 ... if you do win then at least you can tell the family that at long last you have say you won something in your Rugby League career.
