The roosters are a very, very good team and they'll dish out a few hidings to aussie clubs this year so I thought Wigan did pretty well after the first 20 mins.

What I will say is during that opening period when they went 18-0 down Wigan were starting into the abyss at a wholesale slaughter. However, none of their players went missing, they all rolled their sleeves up, showed some bottle and clawed their way back into it, in fact at the start of the 2nd half they were on top.

Plenty of the current Warrington team are the equal of their Wigan counterparts in terms of skill but, based on the last two weeks, you have to question the whether the same can be said of desire, with a few notable exceptions.

as far as I'm aware, until last week, we were the only SL team to beat an NRL in Aus.

What about Wigan beating Brisbane at Lang Park (pre-SL admittedly)? Made all the more notable that Billy McGinty played prop for a spell, and made rather a good fist of it. For younger viewers, that's like Chris Riley playing prop.

Your too clever morrisseyisawire.
I was hoping one on the pie or Saints fans would have bitten.

I was keen to inc SL. And I recon it was the case that then only wire had done such a feat.

Wigan vs Canterbury in the 97 World Club Challenge series? We won Home & Away against them.

Wigan wasn't a SL club in 97.

Congratulations guys and gals. 35 replies to this topic on here, 13 on Saints' board and yet to open the scoring on Leeds'. You're now officially the most obsessed fans in SL. Enjoy!

I'm glad it wasn't us paint that SSR team. They'd have run a muck.

Wigan didn't look out of place.

when did super league start?

Don't worry he's our resident...'Jester', I could have said worse I suppose.

The jester or the jester who follows him.
