Envied/Feared. Its just semantics.

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.

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.
