I don't care mate.
I was avin a debate with damo not you.
I hate wigan and won't have anything to do with them.
They was the only fulltime team thru the 80's and early 90's and won everything coz of it.
They also bought every good player any team had.
Then the game went fulltime with the introduction of super league and wigan has only been champs once since.
Wigan also had a greater salary cap than all other teams when they won super league.
It's no myth that wigan was fulltime! It's fact!

For the record I do like Leeds. They are good club, good rugby ground, good fans but no history.

What does a club have to do then to have history? Because I'm pretty sure Leeds have a long and quite successful history. In fact I'm pretty sure almost all the clubs in Super League and quite a few out of Super League all have history.
Just because a team hasn't won a hat load of trophies doesn't mean they don't have history.  |

Name me one decision he got wrong ?
Wheeler and Greenshields was a 50 / 50 ball. Could of gone either way, luckily it went our way.
The Long and Carlaw decision ? Carlaw knocks the ball on, it hits his arm then touches the floor. That guys is a knock on
Pelo jumping into touch like a complete loon and both Noble and Davies admitting they dont no the rules of rugby league was yet another decision the ref got spot on

That was shocking, they bring in 'experts' to discuss the finer points of the game, yet they were all clueless when commenting on a straightforward decision.
Luckily Thaler has some knowledge of the rulebook and gave the right call.

| Quote: St pete "Sorry damo but history and facts prove we have won alot more than Leeds.
1st team to win super league.
1st team to win it twice.
1st team to win challenge cup at new wembley.
1st team to win league leaders sheild.
More super league champs than any team.
More challenge cups in super league era.
Don't make me list our trophies next to yours ![]()
In all seriousness, that's all rather recent and selective history though isn't it? For a game that has been played for well over 100 years, why pick just the last 10-15 years to compile your historic facts?
How about a few others to offset your selected facts?
First team to win at the old Wembley?
Last team to win at Central Park?
Last 2 teams to beat Saints at Murrayfield?
First British club to win a WCC in Australia?
First British club to win a WCC?
Most Challenge Cups overall?
More league champs than any other team (note not SL champs, but league champs)?
Non-Australian Golden Boot winners?
Only team to win SL and then not get to the Grand Final?

This happens in all sports for all successful teams, always has, always will. A big team's line is up so quickly because they are aggressive in defence, a little team must be offside. We all want to avoid Saints in the cup both because we know they are a good team, but also because we suspect that those 50/50, benefit of the doubt decisions are likely to go their way. It is a bitter pill, but in RL at least it still gets passed around over the years and decades, which is some consolation.
