PMSL. You just can't make this up.
You wouldn't have come within 30 points of that Leeds team on the night, never mind Melbourne.

You're right. Some Wigan fans are starting to get carried away, and it's worrying.
But just in case you'd forgotten - even when we were truly crap, we regularly managed to beat Leeds.

You certainly did. I remember it well.
But for the last 6 years you haven't even been close to fit enough to lace the Leeds players boots.

Now let me get this straight, We've beaten you at least once a year every year for the past six years, maybe not every year but you get my drift. But we havent been fit to lace your boots? Please tell me how you come to this conclusion?

What were the results when it mattered again?
You have not been close mate. And despite all your creaming of pants, this year will be no different.

I'll admit, when it mattered we fell short. But to say we weren't fit to lace your boots is just plain stupid. Our first meeting of the season is coming up pretty soon. We'll see then who is fit to lace whoms boots then, sunshine.

Again. It's irrelevant, the game doesn't matter just like the one a season you have managed to scrape previously. Whatever the result, it won't decide the silverware, because when it matters there would be only one result.

But if this year actually is different, will you swagger back on here to admit that you were wrong?
Go on, be a man and promise that you will.
If you refuse, by the way, you're just a troll and your opinion doesn't matter.

Well the early signs show you can't lace Wigan's boots this year. 3 Losses already? Not exactly Grand Final winning form, is it? Let's just hope we don't draw each other in the cup. You might run out of excuses for us beating you if we knocked you out of that. And how far did you get in the cup last year?

Of course I will mate. No problem.
I actually think this year will be the last of Leeds dominance for a few years, and you with Warrington are in perfect position to take up the mantle. But the gulf in class is still too great for the others to catch up for this season.

Okay, fair enough. I'll hold you to that.
But don't be like others who've been on here and then disappeared when their forecasts were proved a bit previous.

Eh, I do get things wrong, so get used to owning up if needed.
And Like I said about Leeds dominance coming to a close, that is on the back of 2 or 3 players who are really not the same players they were now. But the advantage Leeds do have for this season is the captures of Eastwood and Delaney, who are far and away above any other current overseas signings in their positions. And for that they keep the quality at a level for Leeds that others still need to bridge. A bridge that will happen as those 2 or 3 players slip even further down.

Yeah, apart from those 3 try scoring opportunities where they got over the line but failed to score, yeah apart from those they never really looked like breaking them down.
