| Quote: dubairl "just out of curiosity does nobody else think it would be sensible for wigan and leigh to merge? eventually the attendance would increase maybe not at first because some die hard fans would sour. but they would bring a fair bit to the table they have a stadium that would be good for training, reserve games, academy games and corporate hospitality (no monies going to dave Whelan). We could also play a few games a year at leigh against lesser sides london, huddersfield and catalans as the stadium would be appropriate for the attendance. Leighs youngster would benefit. Orrell could be sold to some property developers giving a good cash injection to the club. leigh fans eventually could be supporting a super league team. it doesn't make sense to have 2 separate clubs . We could be a catalyst as to what actually needs to happen in super league as we know other clubs need to merge. Also i don't just mean wigan to absorb leigh and the brand to remain as wigan warriors. I am sure balmain and wests fans weren't happy at first but they seem alright now.'"
How does that old saying go? 'I'd rather sh*t in my hands and clap'?

why? because we used to have an actual rivalry decades ago? it would make both clubs stronger.

1) We don't need to be stronger. We are evolving as a team/club just fine.
2) Would you really want to support a team which have supporters like the OP?
3) 99% of Leigh fans would rather have no team than merge with Wigan.

we are evolving but why not evolve further?
every team has trolls just like we do.
i am sure fans from previous merged clubs said the same, for example west tigers still have a good attendance.

| Did the Wigan castoffs actually sing a song about their team? All I heard was 80 minutes of the usual anti Wigan crap.

Hopefully Leigh fans woke up tonight and realised the value of dual contracts and partnerships with clubs like Wigan RLFC.

Yes Leigh won the Eurovision Song Contest. I know it was their Wembley but the filth ridden chanting was vile. To spend 5/10 minutes chanting anti Widnes stuff too was pathetic.
Tonight showed the difference between full time professionals and part time semi professionals. The strength difference was startling. Not one Leigh player made progress upon collision yet Wigan players made yards easily to the point even Josh Charnley was able to steamroll Leigh players as if he was Mal Meninga.
A salutory lesson tonight for Leythers. Anybody can beat up on juniors in meaningless friendlies and carp about it. Oddly tonight the likes of Littler did not want to know when Lockers and Hanson were hitting them with textbook tackles.
The main thing for Leigh was tonight provided money beyond that the quality of players at Leigh has gone backwards. McNally looked very poor and like many lacking in conditioning. Brierley showed some ability although some of the individual spark seems to have been coached out of him. Ridyard was poor and has gone backwards. Was it Duffy that came on the second half or a spectator? Wigan gave some young players valuable experience and Leigh could do a lot worse than take both Spencer AND Greenwood on dual contract. Tonight showed Leigh fans why they need to accept dual contracts and the partnership system.

| Thought that the #8 Hopkins was a handy lad, would be very interesting to see what SW & Bitcon could do if they get their mitts on him.
I agree about Duffy, an absolute embarrasment, reminded me of the time Johnny Vegas came on the pitch that time wearing a Saints shirt.

| Quote: Mr Northstander "I cant believe what I am hearing on radio GMR, bloody idiots the pair of them along with Steve McCormack talking about Wigan like they are some sort of super team!
When did Wigan last do / win anything under Shaun Wayne?
Lets see what happens to Wigan when they play an equivelant team like Leed Rhinos! Last season Leeds battered Wigan in the challenge cup and the play offs and will do so again this season, as will the Wire and Saints!
Best about this is all you can hear are the Leigh fans out singing the the wigan fans!'"
Didn't bother to go and support your team then?
I also believe Leeds won by one point in the playoffs. Hardly a 'battering' that's what your boys got tonight!

Did some Leigh lad $/ag your misses??
Did you really think the game would be a close one???
This is RL, the clubs with the cash have the best players in a FT culture, Wigan have a fantastic structure with a great conveyor belt, but maybe the don't deserve winkers like you?
