Surely a few of those wins were when you were either cheating the salary cap or spending beyond your means, almost bankrupting yourself.
Well played on Saturday

It's what happens when you're the most successful club in your sport - people get jealous. |

Haha. I'm not jealous of anything Wigan have done. I see you as the most successful club when things were uneven and unfair. Since that has been sorted, you're the 4th most successful club in our sport. |

Quite the opposite actually. If Saints had won more trophies than anyone else in an era when the sport was part-time, I wouldn't go on about it. I'd focus on what the club has achieved since the sport went professional, seeing as that's what counts the most.
Wigan have struggled to come to terms with not being top dog since everyone joined them as a professional club. You may catch the likes of Saints and Leeds up in the future, who knows. Until you do, we have nothing to be jealous of.

The jealousy is strong in this one. Matty certainly caught a couple of tiddlers.
19 x Champions
19 x Challenge Cup Winners
Has a nice ring to it.

Haha I think you're getting confused with who has caught who here. You make it too easy. |

A personal insult to another poster that had to be deleted and the resulting jealousy displayed speaks volumes about how you're viewing our success.

No problems from me about how Wigan put together their great teams in the 1980s and 1990s, there was nothing stopping other teams from going full time and showing some ambition and as for nearly bankrupting themselves, Wigan are hardly unique amongst rugby league clubs for that...
I'm sure if Warrington win the Grand Final there won't be any Wigan fans on here saying things like "how do Warrington get all of their signings under the salary cap, its not fair". We've never heard that line from Wiganers.
Similarly I'm sure you all support the ambition of Marvan Koukash to come in to revitalise Salford like Uncle Maurice did to Wigan in the 1980s and if Salford start winning on the back of Koukash's money you will respect their success too and be happy for them.

It would be great for the game if Salford did come good with Koukash's money, the more big clubs the btter imo and Rugby League needs all the money it can get. |

So when did things become even?
The next time I see Murphy and Boston I'll tell them that their winners medals count for nothing. Do you want an invite? |
