39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Depends what you're looking for.
Burgess, Ellis and Thaiday for strenth and being a nother prop.
If you want the whole package then Lockers is the best right now.

Lockyer is a stand-off.
It's an easier mistake to make than believing Sean O'L is one of the best players in the game though.

18821_1298880800.jpg [quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

The best cumbrian teams play in blue and white: |
|
| Ellis is on top form at the moment probably the best 2nd row in the world, backrow wise including Loose forward Adam Blair would have to be right up there

| Sean O'Loughlin is probably in the top 10 back rowers in the world at the minute. His defence is exceptional and aswell as being a good metre maker he has alot more assists than Burgess or Ellis.

Who are both playing in a far superior league, and in a different position.

I didn't dispute that the NRL is better. I'm talking backrow in general.

So you agree that its ridiculous to compare stats, for people playing in leagues whch have different standards?
Or do you think that my little brother, is in fact better than ellis and o'loughlin, because his stats, playing for his high school team against average teenagers, are better than their stats, whilst playing against the best pro's in the world?

| O'Loughlin gets some stick but he's a quality player that I'd have at Wire anyday.
Best Backrower in the world? no chance, different type of player to Ellis or Burgess who will probably give a team more as an all rounder but he isn't as good as them at what they do

I agree with that, different type of player.
O'Loughlin would get in any SL side and alot of NRL sides though.

Stats are constantly being compared between Nrl & SL as they are the 2 top competitions in the world. The Premier League, La Liga & Serie A all get compared (Messi & Ronaldo when he was at Man Utd) even though the Premiership is probably the best. Even if one league is better it is still the nearest thing for comparison.
