ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST 1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time. 2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time. 3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do... 4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant. 5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed. 6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.:



Wire would be my shout for the next name on the trophy. As realistically it would take about five years of building, Cas for example of last season need o be firstly getting to the upper echelons of the league table , then getting to the semi finals, then getting to the GF (first one probably losing if not more) than finally winning. Whether the new format allows this sort of building we will have to ait and see.

Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "

I'm not arguing Wire have a good side and may win a SL title one day, it's this that Warrington fans come out with that they are now an elite club and now part of a 'Big 4'.

I believe there is only three elite clubs in England, a true 'Big 3' and Wire isn't one of them.

People used to say Leeds were part of a Big Four in the early days of SL. From 1996-2003 what exactly did they achieve? One SL GF loss and one Challenge Cup win.

Warrington have achieved far more in the space of eight years than that Leeds side had.

Both clubs an average of 5th place in the time frames.
Both not won the GF.
Wire have won more Cups but to say they achieved "far more" is stretching it a tad. Especially given that at least part of that 8 years was groundwork for 10 years of success at Leeds afterwards.

Wire have won 3x as many cups and been in twice as many GFs, as well as finish as League Leaders.
That was in the space of 6 years. I'd say that's a pretty good six years.

If we're including beaten GF appearances then we should note the 2 Cup Finals Leeds appeared in and lost too.
I'm not denying its been a good 6 years for Wire. But then it was a good 6 years for Leeds prior to 2004 too.
