Go on, I will bite. If you wouldn’t have none of the players, how many would you have?

| We dont care if he thinks aswell as the other stains that we are not good enough I will just hold onto Challenge cup holders whilst beating a side that thinks that not one of Wigans players are good enough on our way to the final.

Most of those players have won the Superleague 3 years on the trot, they are good players and Waney has endorsed that selecting most of them into the England Squad.
Every dog has its day sometimes in cup games a la Sheffield Eagles and Halifax for instance.

| They are good players,lets see how many wane does pick.
I would at this moment and what is about to happen would in all honesty back the Wigan squad against your lot.
We did beat your super duper team when it mattered.
Lets see how this season pans out as am sure this dog will have a big say in the playoffs.

Every dog does have its day sometimes in cup games a la Catalan (when you arrogant lot laughed at the live draw) and Warrington.

Be nice if you actually looked around. Perhaps count up how many current players playing the game actually started at hudds academy or scholarship- you might be surprised. Huddersfield have an grade a academy- and have produced a long list of players who are playing the game at professional or semi professional level.
In fact our entire back line who played against saints last week came through our club……
I’m sick of having the same arguments though -it’s easy to have the best academy when you can attract the best talent. Walmsley and smithies two cases in point- both from the area both wanted by Huddersfield both decided to sign for saints / wigan. What can you do?
The gap isn’t looking that massive tonight is it.

I didn’t think Walmsley went through the Academy route, thought he was an academic at Leeds Met and just played a bit of rugby at university amateur level. Then opted for his hometown club of Dewsbury Celtic.

Enjoy and cheer your team’s success. To expect fans of other teams to do the same and reinforce your self-congratulatory beliefs about how it has been achieved is just a bit needy. We understand what you’re saying, it’s just that it is neither interesting nor insightful.

Saints themselves are the best of a bad bunch. Super League is absolutely crap, the level is appalling and it's been blatantly obvious since day one saints would win the grand final. Teams that should be able to challenge (warrington, leeds, hull, and to a lesser extent, certainly in previous seasons wigan) are all over the place. Wigan are saints closest challengers and they turn up and do what they did last night. Might as well just give saints a decade of titles on a plate. I couldn't be less interested.

I think the interest might be whats happening with the bottom 3 teams, Dire have an horrendous set of remaining fixtures and could possibly only win 2 from the remaining 7 games. If they get hammerings off Wigan and Huddersfield (2) its possible they could be relegated on points difference, you would think Wakey and Tolouse would play with some guts but not sure about Dire though with Powell struggling to manage his players.

Fancy losing tomorrow? You'll still finish top, piece of urine, but it'll really put warrington in the do do.
