He IS world class he is THE BEST player in SL as the STATISTICS NOT OPINIONS clearly show. Wire fans need to take the blinkers off and realise this.'"
Is this a generic quote ?
Cracking player this Richards fellow, poor choice of teams but can't fault his effort  |

I know poor choice choosing the Champions aint it? Jesus what an idiot. Not as bad as the wire fan that questioned how many of his points were from tries though! haha

To be fair (not using it in this instance) but being a goal kicker does slightly skew the results when it comes to how effective is a person in attack with ball in hand and points scored.
For instance not many people would say El Masri was the most effective back going forward but he scored a hell of a lot of points mainly because he's a goal kicker
Another debate for another day though |

If Richards played in the NRL he'd be considered world class, however because he plays in SL he'll never get that accolade. Sums British RL fans attitudes up.

Hanley was world class even before he went to the tigers i think most people would agree with that, real 'rugby'fans will recognise class, i think some people are just turning the screw to get a rise (bit of banter)

It's tough to say because he's not going up against the very best every week, having said that I think he would be one of the best wingers in the NRL |

This is the attitude i'm talking about, the NRL is a better league but it ain't a galaxy away from the level of the top of SL. I watched a lot of NRL games last year where I thought Wigan would have mullered both aussie teams I was watching. |

Yeah but there are no sides like Harlequins and Crusaders who sides effectively get a bye against in the NRL. It's surely tougher to perform week in week out in that league. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

It was said that he isnt a world class player now I dont know if you learnt tenses at school but that means the hear and now and I would say that as you have to base that on the most recent and current form then he is world class. |
