If we had a flag for every player that has shown "loyalty" we'd have a flag over every seat at the DW. Like I said, the gantry's full anyway, maybe get it on a 2 sticker? Or a waver, but il stick to waving my Boston flag.

Graeme West well before him on loyalty and legend status.
Bell
Edwards
Wane
McDermott
Cassidy
Farrell
Clarke
Hampson
Gill
Robinson
and many, many more before Dallas in my opinion.

| Next flag should be Phil Clarke's big grinning face with "RUGBY GOD" written below in my opinion, just to off the rest of rugby league.

Sorry, I meant to put M. Dermott not Barrie.
Gill was a cult hero and Dallas never achieved the same adulation from the crowd as Hendy did.

Only because of the time for me. He was part of the team that brought us back to glory years. Dallas was class and played outside some very, very poor centres.

3632_1352982335.jpg Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.
Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king"
'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure'
'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it'
Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg |

| Here's a few to consider before Dallas,............. Joe Egan, captained Wigan to C.Cup win in 1948, 2 Championship wins, 362 apps, later returned as coach from 1956 to 1961, playing a key part in the clubs renaissance. Ernie Ashcroft, 530 apps, 241 tries from 1942-1958 (loyalty ?), considered by many as one of the finest centres to play for Wigan. Brian Nordgren 294 apps, 312 tries (more than 1 every game), 4 Championships, C.Cup 1951. George Fairbairn, 207 apps, 594 goals, won the Man of Steel award in a team that got relegated as player/coach in 1980 !!. Dean Bell, 7 C. Cups, 3 as captain, 253 apps, 105 tries, Man of Steel 1992, he even appeared on 'This Is Your Life' in 1993. Lets look at a couple of 'lesser' known (by most on here) wing men, Gordon Ratcliffe, 212 apps, 185 tries, 2 Wembley apps, Championship winner in 1946, GB tourist in 1950 and once scored 7 tries in a match. Trevor Lake, 140 apps, 132 tries including a memorable one at Wembley in 1965. This is not including the likes of Bill Ashurst, Dave Bolton, Ken Gee, Martin Ryan, Tommy Bradshaw, Graeme West, Shaun Edwards, Andy Gregory, none of which have a flag in their honour, now, I'm not doubting the ability and courage of Brett Dallas, or his record, (177 apps, 107 tries, C.Cup winner), but IMO, he is quite a way down the 'pecking order' when choosing who to put on a flag.

3076_1671446335.jpg 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 |

39110_1363272058.jpg 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
