The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.:



Quote: Yed "If you win the clean sweep i'll donate £50 to the Mike Gregory charity, won't happen.'"


Brave words - I think there is a very real chance of it happening

I don't say that as I am a Wigan fan either.

There is a depth and resilience to our side this year that was not there previously.

all 3, telling you won't happen.

I'm not saying that with the P&B specs either, just can't see it.

Challenge Cup Final - biggest attendance in Rugby, shown on National Domestic TV and a historic cup to go with it?

I think it means more than some people make out. 85,000+ cheering on their team (or the team they've decided to back for the day) can't be wrong.

Union can only dream of attendances like that.

Exactly. It's an historic trophy that means a lot to a great number of people and we shouldn't try and de-value it just because it is a knockout cup competition and anything can happen.

I think all 3 trophies should be valued. What I find annoying is that finishing top after 27 rounds, which is the biggest achievement any team any have is considered less than winning 5 games (usually not all Superleague teams) in a knock out comp. Just because its historic and ends with a big crowd, doesn't make it a bigger achievement.

Id love to win all 3 but think it is very difficult and it would take a special team to do so.

Quote: thepriestman85 "I have to admit I’m not fussed in any way shape or form about the CC.

For me it’s lost its magic and I’d rather see us lift the hub cap. Although many will disagree the hub cap is by far the hardest of the three to win. It’s a real challenge of consistency, squad strength and mental toughness to go a full season and be the top team. More recognition should be placed on this trophy.

The goal for WRLFC and it’s fans before we talk about doing ‘the sweep’ should be to make sure we are back to back champions and get another shot at the WCC in Feb next year.

Have another consistent 12 months with the focus on the title and then next season talk about the sweep.'"

The crowds before the final would suggest it had. Most Wigan fans would love to get to Wembley (just like most fans of every club), doesn't make anyone sour just because some value the league higher. Regardless of what you think, finishing top after 27 rounds is alot harder than a 5 game knock out comp.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union. www.squadbuilder.co.uk:1883.jpg



A GF and CC win is almost impossible/an incredible achievement in the current situation with more than just two teams as was very recently.

As for the odds, I go back and slap the bookie.

Considering it was Maguires first season last year, we came within 83 minutes of the final last year and with the view of most Wigan fans, we have a better squad this year. It's also 12/1 for a reason and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been cut since Friday.

No we didn't, we lost in the quarter final. Hardly coming close is it? 12/1 is shocking odds for all 3 and I wouldn't even bother.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg

Stop talking sense. icon_biggrin.gif
To win both those would take a lot of doing and a lot of luck regarding injuries and getting the right draw.
Can it be done, yes but it will be difficult.

As far as Wigan are concerned I wouldn't mind a trip to Wembley, though accept that the league leaders and Superleague is more difficult to win.

Quote: Conroy "Cup and GF double for me. F*ck the hub cap. Let Wire win it and claim they've won the league.'"

My opinion that whoever tops the league are worthy on the champions tag and i will always stand by that as you were last season the playoffs imo are just a money making showcase. Well done on yesterdays win was a master class show from your team (from a wire fan)

Quote: thepriestman85 "Of course i'd take the GF win over anything as like you say we are then the champions.

BUT the challenge cup means absolutely nothing to me.

If we win the CC we get a nice day out at Wembley that’s it and get a trophy we’ve won more times than many of us have had hot dinners.'"


Funny he should say that with what was said yesterday.

Take it this scumbag has now been given life ban until he gets a new login?
