Second fiddle in terms of honours, facing up against Champion teams year after year, although we may of still competed on derby games, deep down I always knew they were better than us.
That feeling has gone, the role has now reversed. |

We are now the better side, even if we had lost yesterday. With Graham gone, stop Roby and they are very ordinary at present.'"
Saints are very good at plan A...forwards dominate, roby scoots, backs link in...... but when plan A is stopped they revert to....................................................................................................................................plan A........  |

Yes, the loss of Graham has made a big difference to Saints. It shows how important a marquee signing is. I hpe we sign one great half-back to replace Tommy and Roberts next season. Someone who will take the game by the scruff of the neck like Graham. |

My innate sense of superiority about being a Wiganer and a supporter of the greatest RL team meant that never applied to me. |

Indeed.
Normal service has been resumed. Things have been out of balance for a brief period, but now the natural order has been restored and all is well with the world again. I expect no change in conditions for the foreseeable future. The outlook is sunny and bright. |

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.

i agree with the OP, i always felt the same until the recent 2 years or so... iirc it was my 7th Saints game that i finally saw us beat them live (last game of 2007) the Vaeliki try match..
