Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

It is a good side. Shame they're all not still playing for us. |

| Quote: bikerpie "Did Gilmour play in our academy?'"
Gilmour is still a link from Wigan's glory days. I remember a bit of fuss in the rugby league press in the mid 1990s, when Wigan announced that they had signed the 'best schoolboy in the country' who was a lad from Dewsbury (I think) Lee Gilmour. People were saying this was Wigan destroying the game, didn't they have enough junior clubs on their own doorstep, never mind going raiding the best prospects in Yorkshire, like they had done with Jason Robinson.
A few years later, there was another 'best schoolboy in the country' story. Leeds were trying to sign Iestyn Harris off Warrington, and Daryl Van de Velde wanted the 'best schoolboy in the country' who was a lad called Kevin Sinfield, thrown in as part of the deal. Gary Hetherington put his foot down and said no way under any circumstances let him leave. In the end a compromise was struck where Leeds offered a young Danny Sculthorpe who was on their books, to join Paul at Warrington, and a hefty transfer fee. Van de Velde moved quickly to use the transfer fee on signing the GB academy halfback Lee Briers from Saints. |

At least a fair number of those guys won trophies with Bradford so the investment wasn't wasted. |

Not sure what you're point actually was. When was the last time a SL player was called up for an ANZAC Test? Think Tommy Leuluai went over a couple of years ago but that's about it IIRC |

Interesting to see a couple of Wiganers have Clarke as their hooker. Do you reckon Clarke was better than Mark Smith?

At Wigan, I'd say Smith was the better player.
Away from Wigan, Smith decided to play his career at at Widnes with the majority of it being in NL1 which was a bit of a waste IMO. Where as Jon Clarke has competed generally pretty well through his time in Super League. |
