[color=#FF0000:1fnfdzuc]Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Not saying Saints are crap either, plus Saints this season are not as expansive as Wigan are, so the winger will get less action'"
"Stats mean jack sh*t" If they don't favour who you feel is better you mean? 
Pat only kicked four goals in his pre Wigan career. So I'm in agreement with Rogues, I think it's safe to say Richards wasn't signed for his goal kicking ability. He may well have been signed as a centre though by agent Millward. |

He may not have been bought for his goalkicking but without it Wigan would not be in the position they are today. His goalkicking has won Wigan numerous matches. It's the combination of the wing position and his goalkicking ability that has pushed him to the fore.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Do you think Foster is as good a winger as Richards ( or ever will be) ?
IMO Richards held his position as a top winger without being a goalkicker (that was a bonus) |

I didn't say he was but in a few years who can say. Players who we think will be great turn out not to be so and vice versa. As I say only time will tell and by then we could have another goalkicking winger who outshines the lot of them. |

If Saints offered him to any club, i would bet my house not Wigan, Wire, Leeds any other club would refuse to take him.

Richards is a very good player and a world class kicker no doubt about that IMO.
However, I don't think he's the same player since his injury last year. He's lost pace, makes more mistakes and he even misses more kicks than he did.
IMO he's in decline. |

I wouldn't disagree, but he's still in the top three wingers in Superleague.
I can see Charnley taking his place as top winger (although I would like too see him at centre) and he is a very good goal kicker, but obviously not being used at the moment.
And to get back on topic that's why I can't see Wigan wanting / needing Foster. |

Good goalkicker, not much else.
Poor defensively, doesn't go past player or break tackles, not great at catching when under pressure, purely in the team for his goalkicking.

Charnley has more physical presence than Foster, he's bigger and a touch faster. Though considering Foster apparently can't beat a man, he has more clean breaks than Charnley. He's also less error prone than Charnley.
As for Richards, I don't think he's ever going to go down as a great winger, he's a good player but I think some are going over the top in their assessment of him. He's tall, good in the air and consistent, but I don't remember all this love for him when he was languishing in your reserve side. Without him showing this kicking game, would he be as revered as he is? Probably not.

I would score tries for fun in a top SL team.... catch a ball 5 yards from the line after opposition winger is drawn in, fall over line, I bet 80 percent of his tries come from that.
Chris Riley is a winger I never rated at Wire, but he still managed 20 plus tries in a season, because he was part of of a good attacking team, who create numerous overlaps.

His defence this season has improved massively. So long as he remembers that he's a scrawny git, he does just fine. |
