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

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]

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 |

One of my favorite Wigan players ever despite only being here a short period of time, I still think he could do the business here.

Agreed, we would probably have had a stint in NL1 without him. True proffessional, shame Mo didnt rate him and sent him packing back to Austalia 
HKR are lost without him, shows this lad is quality. With Deacon retiring this also makes sense in the long term |

Agreed. He played a massive part in us avoiding relegation. The job he did for us in the circumstances he did it in make him a club legend already IMO. 
I would love to see Dobbo back at Wigan  . We'd instantly solve all our kicking problems.
I like Finch and think he is capable of doing a good job for us, but for me the creativity, flair and mobility of Sam at 6 and the kicking game and all round quality and reliabilty of Dobson at 7 would be a superb combination. |

Are you able to count?
Its not about overseas players Its how many you have and wanting to add one more.
Now even a simpleton like yourself can grasp that?
