39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| I said at the match that he's quite simply one of the best finishers in world rugby. I've seen some great wingers from all clubs over the 20-odd years I've been watching, some faster, some stronger, some with quicker speed off the mark, some with a better eye for a gap. However I have rarely seen a winger who I would rather have my money on scoring from 15 yards out with men in front of him. He had no right scoring either of those tries today. Lesser wingers wouldn't have. In fact Goulding, who is himself on fire this season, had 3 similar chances during the game and couldn't convert any of them. The one where he twisted over the line with defenders hanging off him and still managed to reach out over his head, one-handed, and safely ground the ball was outstanding! If he'd only done this the once in his career it would be worth talking about. Pat has done it so many times, you could write a book!

| Thank you Ian Millward for giving us Pat Richards. I used to think he was a class act back in the NRL, but to see how much further his whole game has come on over the last few years has been a joy to witness.
By the far the best winger in SL.

Millward had nowt to do with it IMO. Mo signed Richards and Millward played him at centre nearly ruining him. Everyone knows I don't rate Noble but credit where it's due, he switched Pat to the wing and he hasn't looked back since. I think he has improved further this season under the MM regime as well.
I thought it would be a long time before we had a overseas wing legend to rival Dallas but Richards is already right up there.

| It was 100% defo a Milward signing.
I remember at the time how Millward was boasting of his NRL connections via his dad.
The one good thing to come out of the Millward era IMO.

I said the other week that if anyone is going to win the MoS ahead of Lockers he would have to be playing superbly. The Postman is certainly running Lockers very close and in the last few weeks Pat's form has been nothing short of sensational. The good news for us is that we have two players who are performing at the very highest level week in, week out. Madge must be delighted with the way they are both going this season.
