You've gone in my sig, you whopper. [size=5020 times champions[/size

Thats only 1 less than bradford within the same time.

Brilliant.

I love being champions. We have got a full season of golden bitter moments like this.

It's not really a "Marquee" signing though is it?

No Lenagan has pocketed all the money.

I think it was David Hulme (not the former widnes player) who said it first, I've certainly heard it from Christopher Hitchens.

"good people will do what they can, bad people will do the worst they can, but if you want good people to do horrible things, you will need religion!"

It is however too late for a theological argument lol!

Not wanting to get off topic (perhaps I already have), but either way someone at the club will need to certainly have a word, as without wanting to be called arrogant, now he is at Wigan, this kind of thing will be much bigger news than it was while he was at Bradford.

Good player though all the same!

More of an Argos tent.

Do you like Huey Lewis & The News?

I think due to Bradfurts financial woes he has been touted round and we bought him up rather than us going after him.

Still, a decent player though and could flower with some better training.

Played well against us at the DW last year and picked up a try or two IIRC.

Anyone think he will be cover for centre rather than 2nd row?

I'd love to have seen him tested in the centres at Bradford but we stuck with him at second row. He's incredibly strong for his size and has great hands. In my opinion he has the potential to be a great centre player.

Its never too late!
I'm pretty sure it wasn't David Hulme (or Basil Hume for that matter either). I think that was the physicist Weingberg as paraphrased by Christopher Hitchens in his debate with Tony Blair. Not a particularly special quote though...

I really enjoy these kind of posts

Yeah. That post made RD look an absolute bell-end.

Ignorance of our illustrious history (which unlike many on these forums, goes back way beyond 1996), ignorance about the massive reorganisation at our club, which has seen us go from scoffed-at relegation-fodder to envied double trophy-winners in a few short years and now should stand us in good stead for many seasons to come, ignorance about the restoration of Wigan as a top name in sport and an efficient sports business model, ignorance about our marketing team's ground-breaking efforts to return big, noisy crowds to the Cherry and Whites, ignorance about the reconstruction of the once legendary Wigan assembly line of young RL talent, and ignorance that all these achievements were made in spite of the presence of RU and NRL poachers, and in spite of having to share our small patch of turf with a Premiership Footy team for so long.

The problem is, RD did what these guys usually do - dropped his bitchy bomb and then ran for it. It doesn't matter if he lacks the guts to come back and reap what he sewed, because no one knows who he is anyway. But I suppose the age of the internet has allowed these craven no-marks to flourish. We should do what we always do - giggle at them.

Ok then,let's have a proper discussion about it. Has you say you gone from near relegation to winning the double in a few short years,nobody is doubting what's been achieved there.With losing Finch and Leuluai etc I thought you would slip a bit this season,not the case, no arguements. I'm no fan of Leeds but they have been champions 6 times since 2004 ,as opposed to Wigans 2,how does that make Wigan far superior.On signing John Bateman, who's had his injury problems over last 2 years, but now he will get proper treatment.Do you not think that other teams have medical care for their players or is it nobody's is good as Wigan because Wigan are far superior than any other club.Shall we leave it there for now and see what responses we get from Wigan fans and then see if any other matters can be discussed sensibly

Bro, Bradford's been on their backside since the Harris saga, Wigan are the biggest and best club in the land. Of course he'll get better treatment.

Discussed sensibly?

You mean like calling people smug s?

You're now doing what so many trolls do who've been called out and found wanting - trying to hide behind a reasonable debate. Pity you didn't put your argument forward like this the first time.

And the comments from Wigan fans in the first place were sensible and not very smug?

Is it half term round your way this week?

Except that we're not talking about Wigan fans being happy they're following the current top club in the British game (for which reason any RL fan would be smug).

We're talking about you trying to pretend you're suddenly a reasonsable debater, when you've already proved that you're just another bitter, jealous little troll.

Try again.

You just can't stop talking about the most famous club in rugby league. You can join us you know, it's ok. You can keep shouting Wigan like you are doing, just point your finger at the same time

Grimmy I shall give you that one, made me chuckle

Seen as though every player wants to play for the best team in the land, are you signing Zak Hardaker

Except Huddersfield are the top club in the British game , Wigan finished 4th .

At least that's what you were all saying when Wigan finished top but Leeds were hoovering up grand finals .

I don,nt think every wigan fan was saying that. Everyone knows how the system works at the start of the season.Its not taken long for all the wigan haters to come out of the woodwork, no surprise though we were the centre of attention when we was fighting relegation.
