| Quote Wigan Peer="Wigan Peer"Thats because you all assumed that Warrington would win everything this season...
 '"
For goodness sake - can't you just accept a well balanced post?
Of course we all HOPED Warrington would win everything - is that not what every fan wants for their team? We didn't ASSUME. This is sport.
As to Wigan, well done. I personally finished the day thinking isnt it great the Wire and the Pies came up with the Silverware. A refreshing and hopefully long term change? |

Yes, with one minor tweak required |

Who was this big name player, who was such a great influence that he single handedly gave the club a lift, and saved them from relegation?
This must have been a world class player and legendary figure in rugby league? |

| Quote manco="manco"should of been relegated the cheats!'"
Relegate salary cap cheats ? Interesting theory because what you didn't point out was that five other clubs exceeded the salary cap ... you focused on Wigan. As a result six teams would have have been relegated that season if we followed your idea ... and if you follow this logic through then Saints, Wakefield and Hull would have been relegated two divisions for the repeat offences detailed in the article?
"It's worrying that half of this season's 12 Super League clubs did not stick to the salary cap last season – and three of those have previous Hull FC, St Helens and Wakefield"
Anyway have to go ... got a good DVD to watch .... with a happy ending  |

I think he meant that the ONLY reason wigan weren't relegated was because they cheated. I tend to agree with that opinion. |

| Quote sally cinnamon="sally cinnamon"Never thought I would say this after their excessive trophy hoarding in the 80s and 90s but its good to see the Wigan fans to get some silverware again after some dark times. I know there are a couple of internet idiots who post on here but I'm talking about most of the pie eaters
After Farrell left they had a bit of a nightmare, remember their first season under Millward when they got beat 75-0 at Saints and 70-0 at Leeds, then after getting that disaster season out of the way they had an even worse one where they were stuck at the bottom of the league and nearly relegated. Usually in any sport, when you have a once-great club fallen on hard times, their fans desert them, but Wigan improved their gates during these times, they had lost some disillusioned fans when they left Central Park and went to the JJB but it seemed like the tough times brought some Wiganers back to watching RL. I know we always made jokes about the Wigan walk but they stuck by them well through some dross which must have been heartbreaking for fans brought up on Hanley, Edwards and Bell.
Brian Noble, despite getting criticised every year, managed to get Wigan to final eliminators or Cup semi finals, in a transition era when he was trying to move out Maurice Lindsay's legacy of having paid over the odds for NRL players who were past their best, and bringing in young players from the Academy. Now Mick McGuire has come in and proved in one season he is a top drawer coach.
You have to take your hat off to them, they have been the best team all season, if we're honest nobody would have reckoned this time last year that the pies would win at Old Trafford.
With so many good young players the future looks bright now for Wigan, I doubt they will repeat the dominance of the 80s and 90s because the salary cap will start to bite on them when some of the younger players renegotiate their contracts as top players, and they will inevitably lose players down the line, but they can certainly be as successful as Leeds have been in the last six years.'"
