Envied/Feared. Its just semantics.

Quote: Cruncher "I think that's very true.

But I know for a fact that there are people in the RL media who dread another period of Wigan dominance.

It's a groundless fear really, because as Ian Lenagan himself said, no-one will ever have a run of success like that again, as the economics of the game now dictate against it.'"



Player movement plays a huge part as well. The amount of great youngsters you have at the minute may come back to haunt you in the future, by that I mean eventually they'll want better deals and the salary cap can start to bite. The key is replacing players with players of equal or better stature. Could Lockers leadership be replaced? Just an example. Whether I or any other fan like's it, Wigan being near the top is good for the game. Every sport needs a pantomine villain and nobody play's it better than Wigan. People will always act differently to success. We(wire) just used to be laughed at or get told how we haven't won anything for years. Now that we're half decent, we get caled allsorts. It's a back handed compliment in a way.

In his column in the local paper, Paul Cooke accuses Wigan of "brutality" and "arrogance". Good article and hard to disagree with what he says........ A bit rich coming from paul cooke, back to the pub then paul.

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 - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



HATED, ADORED, NEVER IGNORED!

I love it! It's good to be back at the top.

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.:

That just about sums up what a complete farce the CC is.

How DARE we develop and nurture young RL talent.

Can you not detect the sarcasm?

I can't imagine what the jealousy on these boards will be like if we actually dominate! We have only won two trophies.

One of the two on offer. Please don't embarass yourself by counting the hubcap. It's like counting the charity shield in football in your honours list. I can see a bit of domination to be fair, if Tomkins progresses the way he should you'll be succesful for many years.
