Steve Ella, I get what you are saying although during th decade of sucess you may have had some great battles and some losses but the record speaks for itself. Even the better teams of the day would compete with you for 60 minutes then your fitness and quality would kick in and you would run away with games. Of course you slipped up every now and again but you got back on the wagon and victories continued.
My team had some tremendous battles with yourselves in the 80s and 90s but if you look at the overall results against the other better at the time teams i.e. Leeds and Saints, Widnes and also Halifax I would imagine the stats are heavily in your favour.
As an opposition fan (especially Wire fans) Wigan were the team to beat but it was seldom done unfortunately and your consecutive appearences in Finals and Championships was seen as the game was going stale. We went into games with thr hope we would get one over you but most times it wasn't to be. I was also around during that time an remember the opinions of the Wigan club and unfortunaely to some of us the attitude of certain members of your club has stuck and that is why you still get the reaction from some fans of certain clubs .
Until the introductionof SL then it all changed thankfully. At least the honours are being spread out over the last decade with a number of teams winning the comps. Also we are now competing with Wigan infact have a fairly good record over recent years
Anyway too late for all this my spellings going to pot off to bed no
Good Night
