More than the players it will be interesting to see how long Tony Smith stays, he's a bit of a wander when it comes to coaching 3 years here, 3 years there and rumour has it Wigan are now looking for a coach.

Agree - an absolute credit to both clubs and the occasion. That goes to show why, no matter who you support, RL is THE game!!

Agree
When you look at age of their (Wire) squad it will need some serious investment, and I'm not sure that Tony Smith is that kind of coach.

I love this.

Dear me. A thread intended to be about the Wigan & Saints fans (Who were superb yesterday) ends up as a bitch against Wire. Very sad.

so will wigans , george carmont 33 paul deacon 32 andy coley 33 amos roberts stuart fieldan both wrong side of 30s there of the top of my head too , we all have a few older players

charnley or marsh will replace carmont, deacs will be replaced by joe mellor and hock is back in place of coley. Fielden will be ready for retiring when crosby is pushing for a first team place.

wigan and saints have a conveyor belt of youth coming through I don't think warringtons academy is at this level yet however they are significantly improved since Bastian came in.

hmm wonders whose academy is doing best this year?

Agreed. Fantastic atmosphere yesterday and the minutes silence was very well done by all fans.

Both sets of fans were a credit to their clubs, fantastic family atmosphere with some really good noise made throughout.

Just wait untill we take over Widnes later in the year

Not yet another Saints/Wigan love-in plus Wire bitchfeast....

We may never have won SL yet but that's about to change come October when whichever hapless team is put in front of us is put to the sword,and we've always been a bigger club than St Helens.

The Wire v Wigan or Wire v Saints is game is at least as big a game thesedays as Saints v Wigan.

And don't you worry,we'll be a consistent force for many years to come.

Alright then, seeing as nobody else is going to do it I will.

Fuck off.

Damn you swear filter!
