Quote: sally cinnamon "That is a fair point, it would have been more of a big deal to beat a Saints team with Cunningham, Long and Scully in it, however on the historical angle although Saints had a great side they weren't quite what the pies were in their glory days, they had to share trophies with Bradford and Leeds, so even back then if it was a case of would we have preferred to beat Saints or Wigan, the answer may have been Wigan for most Warrington fans. It's like in football going back to the mid 2000s when Chelsea had Mourinho and Arsenal were in their prime, I bet most football fans would rather their team beat United than Chelsea or Arsenal even though United had slipped behind them in the pecking order.
Our results against Wigan started to improve after we moved to the HJ, out of the last 20 games between us we've won 13 and Wigan won 7. The first of those was in 2004 when Nat Wood scored a hat-trick and one of the tries he ran into the stand to get a hot dog to celebrate, and that win had honour to it because the pies had Radlinski, Connolly, Dallas, Lam, O'Connor, Farrell, Craig Smith etc in their team. Then the next year we beat them when they had Millward in charge, at the start of teh 2006 season but although they were totally crap at that time, Millward had made a number of big signings and people thought they would do well and Millward still had super coach reputation, so again it was fun to have one over on them. But you are right that by the time Noble had taken over and they were marooned at the bottom of the table it felt like wtf is happening and if they had stayed in a rut for a long time the honour would have gone. When Noble was Wigan's coach we generally beat them and it was obvious they weren't the team of old but they still used to finish above us in the table and Noble had a big reputation so it still felt good to us.'"
Aye, fair do's. Thanks for explaining what you meant. I can't disagree with that.
I'm not sure how they get picked, out of hat is my guess
