| I'm not saying I agree with everything WK is saying, but I think people are missing some of the points he's trying to make. We undoubtedly had success under IL - that's a fact & one shown by the stats. It was a decent period trophy wise.
The point was however that we should have had way more & I agree with that. You look at that 2010 team and there was a core to it that, if IL had kept it together for a decade, could have been absolutely dominant. Instead we've come out even with two other sides. I don't think that's massively controversial to say.
If I had one criticism of IL, he never seemed (imo) to want to be dominant. He was happy picking up and sharing the trophies. Of course he wanted to win everything, but not winning everything didn't seem to cut him as deep as it should.
I want to see us become absolutely ruthless under Danson. Simply the best on and off the field. I want the 80's and 90's Wigan back. I want opposition fans to already know, in Jan, that both trophies will have cherry and white tassels on them by the end of the season.
Realistic? Probably not, but it has been done before.

We were not discussing Jack. I believe that he needs to go and give the NRL a gig. Your statement was quite clear and the facts have proved you wrong yet again.

Or to put it in it's true perspective; every single stat of Welsby's, except clean breaks, is worse than Field's as Welsby played 29 games to Field's 23. In addition Field scored a third more tries than Welsby in significantly fewer games

| Glad the NRL don't want our one trick pony, more than happy for him to keep doing his one trick for us for the next 4 years. Lovely stuff.

| And who's to say that Welsby will end up with more NRL games than Field (or French)? That hasn't happened yet.

| Quote: Cruncher "The idea that IL had nothing to do with the Wigan Warriors team that's about to walk out this year is not worth puking on (but the guy who implied it definitely is). IL built this team, after many years of undoing the damage done to the greatest club in the land by an owner who was more interested in a tinpot football team.

Not very nice, why you being so mean, it's only an opinion ![CHILL chillpill.gif](images/smilies//chillpill.gif)
