| Quote: sergeant pepper "Powell and Clarke would be my choices for England, even if it's because they are both the right side of 30.
I don't see the logic in picking a guy on debut at 31/32. He'll be a stop gap for a season and then will need to be replaced by someone else, namely Powell and Clarke as they are next inline.
That being said I don't really care for international RL anyway, so pick McShane and watch the Aussies laugh their way to 50 point score line. The "fans" will still find a way to blame Wigan for it.'"
Insular and paranoid! |

The amount of times it feels like we’ve gone there full of hope, anticipation and excitement , only to be left feeling deflated feels like it’s in the hundreds given how gutted you feel, when realistically it probably been 4 or 5 occasions for me.
I’m exactly the same as trainman mentioned in that I’d give up a number of Wigan trophy wins for an Ashes series or World Cup win. I can only imagine the feeling after that and have been imagining it for many many years.'"
Agreed. |

Yup, I've seen Wigan win trophies and I'm sure I'll see them winning trophies again. We often aren't even underdogs in that scenario. Winning a trophy ahead of the aussies would be a different prospect entirely. |

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 was lucky enough to be in Melbourne in 1992 for that victory over the Aussies (the famous Wigan six pack ) As an RL fan it stands alongside any win I've ever known.
I'm also lucky enough to have been alive to remember the ashes victories in 1959, 1962 and 1970, but before I go to that great Central Park in the Sky I want to do them at least once more.

I just hope Waney has enough good players at his disposal to give us a chance against them in the next couple of years. It feels like some of the quality has fallen away since that last World Cup. It was expected with Lockers and Graham but not so much with Sam Burgess and I fear we’ll miss him and the belief he can help instil in the other lads more than we could imagine.
