So how many people did you ask about this 'St George' thing?'"

So shall we forget the likes of S. Tomkins, J. Tomkins, Farrell, Hansen, Goulding, O'Loughlin, Mossop, Tuson, Charnley and Prescott, who have come through the Wigan academy and have all played under Maguire's reign. Add them to Deacon and Gleeson, who are local lads also. All of them bar maybe Tuson and Charnley are in the 17 man squad every week for Wigan. Is that british enough for you?

| Definitely Wigan for me, I hope it's a competitive game too. The last few WCC games have been pretty decent for a competition that some still class as a friendly (incorrectly IMO)

It's only a friendly to the Aussies when they lose... in their usual graceless style
Win and they are the best in the world, lose and they weren't trying as it wasn't important... the Australian sporting mission statement

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]
[b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg |

| Quote: Cronus "Laziness...or the fact 99.5% of people, when asked who Wigan are playing, would answer 'St George'. Further, I despise the 'Warriors' tag and avoid using it wherever possible, and in the name of symmetry and balance have therefore shortened the name of St George Illawarra Steeler Dragons Rugby League Football Club to a similar length; that being two syllables.
Your anal pedantry knows no limits.'"
I wouldn’t worry too much about Phipps. He fancies himself as some sort of urbane critique. But, in reality, he’s just another sad, deluded, message board t[io[/isser.
Anyway, tb has the message board anal pedant tag pretty much sown up for himself. Phipps is a rank amateur by comparison.
Wigan V St George it is then.

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Quote: DropGoalGiant "Well if wigan win all you will get from eddie, stevo and of course pie clarke.. I mean phil is world champions this, world champions that.. And always referring back to the game on why Wigan are so good. for the whole of the season, I just don't think I could bare it. Plus think it's a farce anyway because if it was played in aussie they would only be one winner especially if it was in there OWN stadium. So I want dragons to win so the farce of a game can hopefully be forgotten about.'"
Makes me laugh when people call Clarkey for being Wigan biased, he used to be the same with Saints 2000 to 2006 and now it's us, is Clarkey not allowed to praise us for smashing all before us last season just becasue he has ties with the club?
Lets face it, he heaps praise on Wigan because we were the best team all over the park all last season and it sticks in some fans throats, if Warrington did the same as we did last season Clarkey would say the exact same things and nobody would say he was Warrington biased.
