Just wanna point out that Melbourne were not head and shoulders above the rest of the NRL as they finished 3rd. St George won the Giltinan Shield. Just pointing out for accuracy.

Didn't they finish 4th? Not that it matters like.

The problem for Melbourne is that they lose a large chunk of their players on Origin and International breaks. In the playoffs they were far and away the better side.

IL please dont sign Cameron Smith. One game at a time but this Wigan side is shaping up nicely. One thing we dont want is a "big time" Aussie who will take up too much salary cap next year. Lets hope those days are behind us and we retain the quality youngsters.

Mcguire seems to have taken you leaps and bounds, and it certainly showed against us. From what I've seen this year, if you were up against Melbourne, you could have pulled it off nicely.

You would have made it a more high scoring game I think.

Correct, but our style of play mirrors them.

Absolutely it does, and that is what should really give us optimism going forward.

It also wasn't that much of a suprise that Senior spat his dummy, the big girl

thats what i was getting at. wonder what the odds are for a Mcguire v Bellamy world club challenge next year

This is how you do a number on Leeds before a BIG game

PMSL. You just can't make this up.

You wouldn't have come within 30 points of that Leeds team on the night, never mind Melbourne.

You're right. Some Wigan fans are starting to get carried away, and it's worrying.

But just in case you'd forgotten - even when we were truly crap, we regularly managed to beat Leeds.

You certainly did. I remember it well.

But for the last 6 years you haven't even been close to fit enough to lace the Leeds players boots.
