[size=75:2d8t03fs]Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may
jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may
when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan
in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may
in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

Both irreplaceable, but for me Briers is a giant loss for Wire.
The ball has gone through his hands for the best part of 15 years. I've got absolutely no fear of Myler and Ratchford.
And to just compare the pivots
Bowen, Smith, Green, Mcilorum, O'Loughlin
Russell, Ratchford, Myler, Higham, Harrison
I'll take ours anyday

The bigger loss is Briers. A young and fresh player at the prime of his career who was wanted by union and the top clubs in the NRL and was regarded as the best rugby league player in the northern hemisphere. Tomkins is a once good player who was now past his prime. I think I've got that the right way round anyway.

So we've established from this thread so far that Wire fans think Briers and Wigan fans think Sam.
Wigan fans are sick for being glad to see the back of a rivals best player, whilst Wire fans being glad to see the back of Sam are justified because he went for money.
So to sum up, nothings changed in the Wigan v Wire d!ck measuring contest.
