we got rid of Gleeson and went to Wembley twice...now I know your history and your team used to love ...love.. going there, but now you treat it as a second rate competition becasue you cant win it..but dont be bitter over it.

going off on a slight tangent here did anyone see the Keiron Cunningham interview after the Grand Final, he was asked if he could pick out one highlight of his career and he said for him Wembley has always been the biggest event, and the two highlights of his career were his first Wembley win in 1996 and going back and winning it as captain and lifting the cup in 2006. |

Hmmmmm this is unexpected, Wigan win the Super League and Wire fans start several threads saying how they would much prefer to win the challenge cup etc etc... Yawn. Come on guys the Super League is the ultimate Prize it is why teams play week in week out. Now well done on your Challenge Cup but bite your tongue and congratulate Wigan in going one step further. Out of interest I can only assume you will all be supporting Wigan against St George!!??

Where're you keeping it?
Are you're 6 captains sharing responsibility for it or has Dave Whelan let you keep it somewhere safe at his football ground?

[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 |

to be fair if you look back after our 2009 win many fans said they'd be happy with the same again next year...its not wrong to assume many fans will still be of the same opinion this year..granted some after 2009 wanted (not Expected) more and to be fair they got more.
They got a better Wembley win and a better league campaign.
I'm sure now many would like a grand final win, but it isnt beyond the realms of possibility that people would prefer another day at Wembley rather than a wet grey night at Old Trafford regardless of the merits of each prize.
I know genuinley i'd prefer another Wembley final but that doesnt mean I'm saying the Grand final is the lesser prize..its not quite clearly...
I've just got used to Wembley and I love it... |

Under the Lindsey-Whelan period Wigan were the closest thing RL has to Darth Vader's 'Dark Side'.
The new ownership has an equally shrewd, equally determined top man in Ian Leneghan but also one who is honest and sporting. I have no trouble supporting the new Pies against the Aussies, but I would have run a mile from the previous mob.

| Quote: 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.'"
Well said , it is nice to see someone with sense posting like this .  |

Wigan relied heavily on tomkins and richards last season, would have been interesting to see if either or both would have got injured or lost form.As for Warrington fans giving respect to wigan for their achievement no respect given when none recieved. Wigan fans have always,and will always be up their own arris!!!!!
