2553.gif I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

| Quote: Philth "Always liked Hock, even as a Wire fan. His style is not only effective but it's crowd pleasing. Everybody loves a big tough thug (meant in a nice way) doing bruising runs. Well apart from when were were playing him obviously.
I was very disappointed when he got banned, not least for the shame and discredit he did himself.
The guy will have to win back not only the super league fans, but I'm guessing some Wigan fans too. All this can only be done with hard work, he never shirked responsibility in the past, so I don't see him doing it this time.
All being said, he was guilty of taking drugs and has taken the punishment with a certan amount of dignity, lets hope he learnt his lesson and is back to his best to help destroy the Aussie's at the end of the season.
P.S Also hope he's injured/banned/ill for the Wire game
great post. summed up my feelings exactly. i wont be applauding him any more than i will any of the other lads - in fact he's got to work a bit harder for me as i feel he owes this club big time by the discredit his actions brought. for the good of this team and the club i hope he is a success.

Oh, he'll be buzzin alright!
I'll go for 2 penalties in his stint, and a knock on under the posts as he gets an attack of white line fever!
When's Fielden coming back? We need a proper pantomime villain! It just doesn't feel right booing Junior.

| Im hoping he comes in and does a decent job this season - enough so the Wigan fans dont get on his back. I imagine it will take him a while to get used to playing for Maguire, it will also be interesting to see how much he stands out in this current side, considering he was by far our best player when he got banned.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I can't wait for that first run! Hope it can be from a kick off so he has a good amount of ground to get some pace to take straight into the line.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

| I still don't think we'll see Hock in the first team until the Cas game.
