| Quote: Galloping Ghost "My intial point was them not making the seventeen man squad. They'd probably get a gig at Keighley away or if we had a run of injuries. There are players in our team that wouldn't get into Wigan's. Swings and roundabouts, it isn't against the law to amdit that all of your players aren't world class. Unless you're Saints.'"
That's why I didn't disagree with your description of Goulding, for instance, as 'average'. |

More comedy genius.
Whilst Carmont's signing at the time could have been questioned he has provied an excellent acquisition and would be a shoe-in in our squad and possibly ahead of Atkins on form. Leuluai would also be a welcome addition to our or any other SL squad (but not on the wages he gets at Wigan).
I purposedly left Rogues' statement on these two (and his reference to McCarthy) out of my quote. |

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Quote: BobWire "I disagree with the original post on what won us the game last year. It was the dismantling of the opposition forward pack that won us the game. We showed them up to be a lightweight side playing very good tactics. This year they have corrected the lightweight part. We are very capable of beating them I think we will have to be better than we were last year to do that.'"
That's something I as Wigan fan harped on about all last year. Games we lost were because we were dominated down the middle. Thankfully we've corrected that this year by the signing Hoffman and Lima. Now although we'll be missing Fielden and Joel, two big meter makers for ourselves, Mossop and Prescott have really stepped up this year. We may well lose on Friday night, but I'm pretty confident it won't be down to being beaten by the Wire pack. |

I'll have to disagree. You tell me who that Carmont is better than in the top 4 then. I don't deny he has talent but the teams I mentioned do need or want him.
Leuluai is a good hooker. But in the halves is very two dimensional. Again tell me where he is better in either the halves or as hooker.
We have 3 international hookers, Saints have the best British hooker in the world, Leeds have Buderus. HE wouldn't get an offer anywhere in the halves. Seems very average there to me. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

You have three ex International hookers in your squad. McIlorum has been selected ahead of your two English hookers for the England squad.

I'd love to see a complete neutral pro coach of the highest standing cherry pick Wigan and Wires' best 17 throw them together and see which 17 they'd come up with.
Then we could stop bickering, till then, pah.

....yes, by MacBanana
If McIlorum is any where near Test match quality, I will show my cute little bottom in any street in Wigan (on second thoughts...better not, eh) |

Yet another Wigan hating thread on the Wire forum no surprise there then, There are NO "average" players in the Wigan squad I think being Super League Champions proves that we have the best squad in Super League we also have the best youth system in England, Wire also have virtually no "average" players hence back to back Cups to suggest a player who has Super League, 4 Nations & a World Cup winners medals to his name aswell as Grand Final Man of the Match is frankly laughable or Comedy Genius as you lot put it, Hansen average do ME a favour, Carmont wasn't very "average" in the World Club Challenge, Goulding Super League's 2nd top try scorer last year is VERY "average" notice no Wire "fan" calling Hicks or Riley "average", Ben Harrison has great potential but to say he is better than Hansen is VERY blinkered and people say we are the arrogant ones despite the fact our past History and last year seem to give us the right to be arrogant as we have damn well earned it after what we went through in 06.
