Did anyone read Offiah's twitter on wednesday?
Jonathan Davies was giving him banter about going to wigan because they offered him more
his reply was " dougie at leeds offered him 15K a year more but it was only money to me. bad decision lol"
so who was trying to buy all the best players |

Let’s me just remind you what this current Wigan team is. It’s a group of players that spent last season punching above their weigh thanks to the practices put in place by Michael Maguire. At the start of last season no one was expecting Wigan to be the force that you became and you took everyone by an element of surprise.
However that element of surprise is gone now thanks to Wigan becoming Super League Champions. Every season, whatever the sport, everyone gets themselves up to play better against the defending champions of sport. I just don’t think that this Wigan side have it in them to become back to back champions because it’s the same Wigan team (more a less) of Brian Nobles tenure at the club.
You still had some silly defeats last year like Bradford Bulls (22 – 20) and Huddersfield (16 – 1icon_cool.gif. Expect more teams to catch you off guard in 2011. It’s not fluke in what you did in 2010, but the element of surprise that you were in 2010 isn’t going to be there in 2011 and that will be your biggest downfall.
Leeds on the other hand just ran out of steam. The element of surprise will be in our hands this season because everyone’s expecting a decline. We’ve got some fantastic youngsters coming through at the right time like Watkins and BJB who’ll replace Webb and Senior in a few years. We’ve got a wealth of prop forwards coming through in the academy.
Leeds just had one bad year out of four last year. Wigan had one good year out of four. Yes you as a club beat us hands down in history. But when we talk about the current history of the players in the teams of today, this Leeds team beats your Wigan team hands down.

| Quote: lionarmour87 "Leeds have never been relegated and up to you buying up all the best players and bankrupting yourself leeds had won mroe challenge cups than you 3 more and that was under normal curcumstances.
pre war leeds were in 5 championship finals and lost them some closely when they were favourites.
there is a theory why Leeds were losing championships even the great 30s team much better than wigans 30s team, is that Leeds the recognised aristocrats of the sport it was laid down by the legendary chairman Sir Edwin Airie that they must play like the aristocrats they are ,they had to through the ball about play open rugby ,no standing off side ,stop the game when a player is seriously injured.those 5 pre war championship final defeats could have been wins,but their policy of fair open play impeded them,but there was only Salford and Leeds in the 30s .it was them two who had the best teams.'"
We are bigger, more famous all over the world (just go to Australia and ask) more successful, have a better under 21s, and are the current champions. End of arguement. |

This point is unfortunately true. When the Grand Final was on, I must have been the only neutral viewer in the room.
