I started this thread with high hopes, don't know why.
Although Rogues claiming Hanson is better than Harrison was quite a gem.

Just like Ainscough was last season and look what happened to him |

You can't compare the stats though. We've scored 37 tries to Wigan's 23, so we'll win at a cantor wont we?
We are only 5/6 games in, towards the end of the season after both players have 20+ games under their belt then perhaps, but you are still faced with the fact that individual stats will always be skewed in favour of the player in the better team.
Both good players, not great. ask me who has the potential to become great, only one answer. |

STUPID STATS
250% more meters made by BH, made by twice as many carries in only 1 more game? Shows who puts his hand up to do the hard stuff. For getting involved in the game a hell of a lot more, your going to inevitably make more errors and give away penalties! And people say HH is a workhorse? OK then try again...

So yeah Benny any day thanks pal  |

The dick measuring was started by the Wigan fans because I dared to suggest that all their players aren't world beaters. They chose to miss the part where I praised the coaching set-up and alot of their players. A few then proceeded to claim players are better than our's at the sames positions. I also listed players at our own club who I would class as average and product of good systems. Yet again, that was ignored. Just shows the ignorance and stupidity that fans display when their team is questioned.

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 |

Not true.
You proclaimed that Wigan had a lot of average players.
Quote: Galloping Ghost "Great preview. If you look down their squad there are alot of average players, but Maguire has instilled a great discipline and belief in the squad. It seems to be running straight through the club as you see when the youngsters come in they have the same attributes.'"
When challenged you came up with
Quote: Galloping Ghost "Alot was probably a bit of an exagertation. I'd say Goulding, Carmont, Leuluai, Hansen, Coley and McIlorum are all average. Wigan are succesful by having a great coach and a great set-up throughout the club. Three outstanding world class talents in Richards, O'Loughlin and Tomkins. Saints carried players like Arnold, Jonkers, Edmondsen, West etc for many years. The same is happening at Wigan. I think your core three are better than most others.'"
No mention of average Warrington players at this point, only Saints ones although the Dwayne West is quite tenuous one as he only started eight games for Saints and had 15 subs appearances in three seasons.
Tommy Leuluai is a World Cup winner, a four nations winner and a m.o.m, in last years Grand Final winning team.
At no point have I stated that Ben Harrison is an average player (I actually think that he is a good player) it's just that Harrison Hansen IMO is a better all round player, and is certainly NOT average.
