Quote: ditchley16 "im an outsider with no points to score.ive been a hull fc since the mid sixties and seen a lot of ups and downs.it makes me laugh when people talk on here of a st helens decline.in all the 45 years ive been watching rl,i would say i have never known st helens to have a poor side.all the teams you care to mention,warrington,wigan,bradford,leeds,hull fc ,etc,etc have all had the bad times ,but i cannot recall saints ever been out of the top 4 clubs in the last 40 years.'"

ABW.:



He's absolutely right. I've been a Wire since 1966 and I can't remember a weak Saints. If you are in decline then I really hope that Wire are as poor as you next year!

Quote: nohalfbacks "You are in denial to say it will never happen. Wigan are on the up and Saints, whilst not finished yet, are certainly in decline. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the loss of Long and Gilmour next year. Perhaps the return of Fozzard will make the difference. I just thought it would be interesting to look back at this topic and see how some of the Saints fans couldn't or refused to see their decline coming. With the benefit of hindsight some of the Saints fans comments make interesting reading. I should stress that I am not digging this up to gloat as I believe a strong Saints club is good for rugby league and I want to see some good derby games now that Wigan are on the up. I don't want to see Saints in too much of a decline. Coming second to Wigan is good enough for me! icon_wink.gif

Quote: Adrian Monk "Gone are the days when Saints stars who are finished sign for Hull.... Oh wait............'"

Good retort,but Hull havn`t been at the same dizzy heights as Saints these past seasons,so I don`t see the connection.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg



"Wigan's 2nd rate coach"
"Wigan's pack is useless"
"Potter's just the man for the job"
"Having strong reserves means nothing." (Tomkins, Marsh, Charnley, Mossup, Farrell all played yesterday)

Just made my day reading this thread. Well done to nohalfbacks for digging this out.

Quote: St pete "Wigan have got huge problems pal.

Half the Wigan forum have been saying it since we knocked you out in play offs.

To make things worse you ain't even brought a coach in that's coached a 1st team.

When Wigan have won something or took part in a final you can come on here talking $hit but until then why don't you fook off back to your rented ground.'"

I thought I would take you at your word and come back after Wigan have won something! Although I will stop short of talking $hit as you put it. Oh yes, I remember they beat at team called Saints didn't they!?

Oh by the way how is it going in your own rented ground? icon_surprised.gifops:

Quote: Offside Monkey "Yeah, keep your opinions to yourself, because in 2 years time, things might have changed.

Nice one. Too much time on your hands?'"

The difference is that I am not making any rose tinted predictions about the future which was the essence of this thread. You are absolutely right that things will probably change in two years time.
