Quote: No1 Saint " Saints have had a downward spiral squad wise for a number of years , its worse for us because we were so damned good. We have excuses now , Union is richer, NRL is richer, the pound is weaker but we didnt a few years back
The same scenario is playing out at Wigan now but there thick fans are too stupid to see it. Although much better than our 6 & 7 they have replaced Finch and Lulu with inferior players (who they paid fee's for !), Mossop and Hock are off and being replaced with an old welsh bloke. Tomkins will be next and despite all the crap spouted by Rogues and others they have no replacement , whoever they put at 1 will be a massive downgrade although I'm sure Pollard will sugar coat it, hold a big press conference and tell everyone it's not really a bad thing for Wigan or English RL in general and that he'll be back when he's ready for the knackers yard.'"
Apparently the Stainz think we are deluding ourselves, we are now in the downward spiral....
I think Wigan are setting THE example on and off the pitch. If we don't win anything it will because the opposition on the day would have played an amazing match (or that frog would have been referring). The games we have lost so far have been pretty close and probably down to inexperience but this group will always give a good account of themselves and they are a joy to watch..
