The way our season went last year, I wouldn't be comfortable saying we would dominate for months to come

Azul,
Of course you are allowed an opinion which I respect but the topic has been hijacked by a tiresome Saints fan whose only purpose is to try to get under the skin of other contributors to the thread.

We replaced them with Hardaker and Greenwood, but don't let facts get in the way of a good troll hey? Maybe you're that insular in Sintellins that you failed to notice the several seasons Escare and Tomkins played in the same squads.



Just for clarity; what's the difference between 'youth' and 'kids'. Do you think it makes it sound better to say the same thing in a different way? How are our 'kids' any different than your 'youth', other than generally being better (as proven by the multiple titles they've won)?

Give me Wigan's kids over Saints youth any day of the week.

Wigan’s junior development is what will really help us stay there or thereabouts for years to come, unless Lam ignores it and there’s no signs of him doing that. We’ve seen debuts for five lads this year and we’ve got a real gem on our hands in Smithies. We also have numerous others who’ve either debuted or are awaiting their debut who could be pretty special. They’re used to winning, they’re used to beating St Helens on a regular basis and if we’re savvy with recruitment, then once Saints suffer those big departures (and they’re coming, could be within a year, could be 2 or 3 years but they’re coming) we’ll take back over.

Ah the Saints youth!!

Whilst Wigans first team have been winning Grand Finals, Challenge Cups and WCC, their academy has won nine of the last eleven Grand Finals and currently lead the table again.

And for age the current Wigan 1st team is younger than the Saints one, who have about six or seven aged 30 or over. A recent report also showed that Wigan have the fewest overseas players in Superleague.

btw is your map to Wembley still on parchment?

I know a few Saints fans that have recently had to buy the Bohemian Rhapsody movie to remind them of their last wins there.

I can't believe how bad Lomax has played in this semi, somebody somewhere said he was the standout player in super league?

To be fair, Halifax have given us more of a game than Wigan have this season and they are part time

we will take that as a concession that Lomax isn't the standout player some people believe he is then

Wembley...
Wire or Saints?
