Meli/Flannery/Soliola/TP/Perry = 5

40% more overseas players at Wigan than Saints.  indeed.

Talk about missing the point.
Only a complete pillock would criticise another club for making an overseas signing when his own team already have five of them (two of whom are total crap), and look likely to lose a GB player because of the latest acquisition.
You guys kill me. Do you actually believe this pious guff you occasionally serve up?

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

Jumping on Dobson would give you 8 of them - can you spot the difference between 5 and 8?

You think we're losing Eastmond because we signed Lance? Bit weird considering the timing of the respective announcements, but each to their own. |

We'll replace him with Hansen in that case, as it would appear he's as Kiwi/Tongan as Richards is Irish. ![]()
We brought Hansen up ourselves though

At least 2 of those(Carmont and Hoffman and maybe Roberts) won't be here next season and in an ideal world i'd like our signings to be British but we couldn't turn down a player like Dobson if here were available.
Not even if it leaves us open to heartbreaking criticisim from you Saints fans

Eastmond's already gone, pal. It's Pryce I'd be worried about.
But on the subject of numbers, when you've got 0, then you can lecture.
Also, a fan mentioned that he'd like to see Dobson sign. That doesn't make it Wigan club policy. Presumably you can spot the difference between the two? |

[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that.
[/quote]
Another classic:
[quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban.
Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player.
Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666
0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match".
Therefore ZERO.[/quote]

Plus Dobson, these jokers want him for this season.
Oh and you can whine all you like about Hanson but he aint available for a home nation team so he's another.

Good policy. Ignore your own club's overseas players, because that means everyone else will.
Have you got a long neck with a stupid tiny little head, by any chance? |

Surely Kevin Brown wouldn't be wasting his time on these boards when he should be driving over the RFL headquaters |
