Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Not much, thats the problem, a decline to Doncaster/Rochdale ( no disrespect intended ) levels is on the cards in the next 3/4 years, and it would seem the clubs administration dont have the will or the foresight to prevent it |

27-0.
5 in a row.
Still feel lucky that our lowest moments have come in Finals.

In game terms, losing 2-1 at home to Barrow on a water logged Craven Park pitch. Both teams came off covered in mud and couldn't tell the difference between them. All points scored were from drop goals. Very painful.
But overall, it still has to be Wilby trying to buy us to close us down in the 90's which led to near collapse of Rovers. Plus the ever present shadow of Merger. The Allams hinted at it again recently, although thankfully Hudgell and Pearson seem to realise the strength of the rivalry.

RLFans finest:
[quote="Saint77777":3t42372l]Maguire was a black mark on RL in this country. Whilst coaches like Daniel Anderson and Brian McLennan won championships on the back of exciting Rugby league, Maguire set out to win at all costs, evident by the way Danny Maguire was seriously injured and laughed at on the floor by the wigan players as he writhed in agony. Then there has been the constant bending back of limbs, trying to seriously maim the opposition. Even Phil Clarke has jumped on the bandwagon with his disgusting comments about the Danny Maguire incident.
I think its fitting that the 2 fairest teams in the comp, who have been on the receiving end of Wigans tactics should contest the Grand Final and make it a proper family day out instead of the knuckle dragging, salivating neanderthals from Wigan, that would pour into manchester on grand final day.
I for one cant wait to mingle with the Leeds fans and have a beer with them, rather than having to watch my arms and legs, should wigan have got there.[/quote:3t42372l]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_54062.gif |

From what I have witnessed in my limited years of watching rugby, for me 05/06 seasons were grim to watch. Luckily everything is looking up now.

Wilkes isn't and wasn't garbage - it was your club that was garbage at the time, grow up. If signing a good journeyman like Wilkes and a freak blow out score is your worst moment my heart bleeds, really  |

The saying 'bent as a 9 bob note' has now been dropped.....corrected phrase is 'bent as the RFL!':d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45047.jpg |

Simple....Cas being relegated in 2006, when the whole of RL knew that Wigan had knowingly breached the salary cap as they scrambled to survive.
It was like watching on cctv whilst a burglar stole your stuff and someone telling you that the cctv video was inadmissible towards justice being served.

Before my time but when Northern went out of business in 1963 was the club's lowest point.
In the past 30 years I'd say our lowest points were flirting with relegation in 86, 89 and 92. The 71-10 thrashing in the 1992 cup semi to Wigan showed how far behind we'd slipped. That said I don't recall being particularly upset that day as we all knew we had no chance beforehand.

It beats me how anyone can consider losing a final as their lowest point!
Losing twenty odd games on the bounce, going into admin again, points deductions, losing your stadium and all your players... Now that's what i call low points.

Here's me thinking this thread was about my teams lowest point, sorry if my opinion doesnt suit you. You should mind though you dont fall off that high horse of yours, you might hurt yourself 
Of course we were garbage, that was the point ffs and I thought it was pretty clear, maybe it was just beyond your intelligence. We also lost 70-0 against Leeds, so the Saints game was hardly a freak blow out, and had record defeats in consecutive weeks. We were also routinely losing against mediocre sides, which we ourselves had become, such as Wakefield. We had lost some pretty world class players such as Lam and they were replaced by the likes of Jordan James and Oliver Wilkes who we signed from Championship clubs and who were no where near good enough. Your description of Wilkes, a 'good' journeyman, says it all. His long and illustrious history of clubs include Keighley, Leigh, Whitehaven,Widnes, Harlequins and Wakefield so he must obviously be a true superstar in anyones books  . I am sorry but for a top club he was a garbage signing and was completely out of his depth, obviously you just have much lower standards. The whole Millward era as a whole was very poor and was a farce from start to finish and almost saw us relegated. One the field it was the worst spell I have ever seen from a Wigan team.

What he said. Didn't go to the final against Widnes but it was the first final I watched featuring Leeds, and I was inconsolable. The worst final performance ever from Leeds in my time, unless you counted the premiership final we lost against Wigan, and possibly the Warrington one of 2010. Sadly there have been plenty to choose from!

| Having only started watching Saints from 91 I've not really had any real low points, Yes losing 5 grand finals is/was disappointing but i was never really low? Too many high's really? Lucky to follow the Saints?
Losing 75-0 must be bad though  |
