| On a par or better than the great team they had in the Hanley,Edwards + Offiah era?How they dismantled Leeds
last night was imo breathtaking.Ok people will say Leeds were below par but Wigan were missing key players which didn't seem to affect them.For me without sounding a pie lover they look unbeatable at the moment.Thoughts.

| Not sure they are as good Myself, actually no they arent.
That early team ran the league for a good period of time. let se how they go.
Different era too, all teams are PRO now the Hanley Edwards team were the only ones or one of a very few at the time.

| I think you are under-estimating how bad Leeds were...Yes Wigan are good...of course they are...but not that good.

| Best Wigan performance I've seen in a long time. Still, you can't detract that Leeds were, quite frankly, awful.

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

| They are a formidable team and if play them when it counts, we'll have to be on top form to beat them. It's exactly the same for them. That said, if I had to pick a Champion right now, it would be Wigan. Hard to compare with the 80s team because the playing field back then was not level.

| Do you think that Charnleys' kicking was on par with Botica. Your having a laugh.
Leeds were just bad.

Isn't it strange how Huddersfield were so bad 2 weeks ago. Saints last week and Leeds this week. Any common denominator here?

not really, i think he must have thought your post would have been better posted on a wigan forum rather than a wire one? i know i did,and yes,i know its a rl forum,but still!plus id rather discuss how the wire team are fairing up rather than be bothered to discuss just how good the present wigan team is or isnt compaired to the past wigan team ,still each to their own i say.

| IMO its the best Wigan team since the mid 1990s, its better than their Grand Final winning team of 1998, but it would not beat the side of 1995 and earlier.

Very much agree with that, Sally.
