| WTF....... Wigan make a move and theres more dummies spit out than ever.....
It would be great to see wigan do something that doesnt attract the bunny boiler type of disgruntled fans of lesser talented clubs......
Stop having a go we cant help having the best club in SL with all the best players in SL and being managed and coached by the best management team in SL just like we cant change the fact that we abide by all the rules and will go on to win everything this year.
Pick your dodo`s up and move on.  |

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

But he came through at Wigan. Or have I got that wrong?
McIlorum is from Leeds but he came through at Wigan.

Godwin signed for Wigan when Cas went down, was the goal kicker for Cas that season. |

| Quote: Saddened! "That is right.
With Wigan, any rule is seen as a rule for other clubs, to keep them in check. Wigan do not see themselves as having to comply with the rules and look for as many ways around them as possible. It's ties in to the lack of morality they display on the field as well.'"
Still defending this? - Quote: Saddened! "I'm one of the most respected and fair fans on this site. '"
The first post isn't what anyone with an iota of intelligence would consider 'fair'. |

| Quote: inside_man "Why do people keep putting Harrison Hansen on the list? It's not like we've found some hidden grandparent so we can get him off quota, he's been with the club since his mid-teens and if he really wanted to qualifies outright to play for England. There's no point at all having him on the list.'"
Nonsense, he's a new zealand and samoan international, how can you claim Hansen isnt an overseas player. Pat Richards plays for Ireland, he's still an overseas player. |

Every single team in SuperLeague has too many overseas players in their squad. They are all as bad as each other.

Pat Richards hasn't been with Wigan since he was 16. He didn't go to school in this country. |

I understand you're outraged by Wigan's alleged overseas fixation, but you're clutching at straws if you're trying to count Hansen as a true overseas player. I'm not sure when his family moved to the UK but this is a lad who went to Moorside High School in Swinton from 1997-2002, played for Folly Lane (also in Swinton) as a kid, joined Wigan's Junior Academy in at least 2001 or 02 and made his debut for the First Team in 2004. |

That's shocking tbh. Considering the amount of criticism we got in the past, and how much Crusaders and Catalans get, why shouldn't Wigan receive any?
