| Fans of other clubs are going to realise that the period of Leeds/Saints/Bradford dominance was a golden era because they didn't have Wigan fans' hyperbolic crowing to deal with.

Didn't Barcelona get beat at home to newly promoted Hercules 2-0 last season? Hercules went on to be relegated.

With 19 Championships and 18 Challenge Cups you could perhaps argue Wigan are also the Real Madrid of RL too.

Not forgetting Manly.
In the WCC in England before the NRL has started or in Australia several weeks into the NRL season?

| On current form, Wigan & Warrington are the only teams who would be consistently competitive in the NRL.

| It's certainly a better style than they played under Mcguire.
Not a patch on the way Warrington played last year though, which ultimately didn't count for much in the end.

I don't agree. Wigan this year are playing better than Warrington did last year.
IMO.

| Wigan look great, and at times are great to watch.
But, the quality of the league is significantly lower this year in my opinion.
It seems there are some very poor coached teams this year.
Lets hope someone can give Wigan a game come the end of the season.
Ive said for weeks now Wigan will win everything this year.

| I was just thinking last night, they remind me very much of how Wire were playing at the same time last year.
I remember Wire winning 42-6 at Headingley last year when Leeds were in a similar position to right now, and thinking 'can anyone stop them this year?' and look what happened.
Don't really believe in 'peaking too early', but I will certainly be interested to see if they can maintain this level of performance!

| We're playing well at the moment, no more than that.
I think the OP is attempting to net in a few on here.
