Quote: Odemwingie "I would rather he goes to St Helens. If you don't get a quality coach in then saints will slip and be a poor team with a few decent players like Eastmond, much like Wigan since 05. The greatest derby in RL only recovered from Wigans poor years last year. I want to go into every derby match not being able to call it. As a fan of RL more than a fan of Wigan I think it's very important that saints get a great coach.

Crowds will drop playing at Widnes next year and it could be embarrasing if the team are not playing well as well.'"


Now you're being too gracious mate. You're wishing that Saints come out of a dip before they even go into one. Do you think they've agonised in a similar fashion these past 10 years over our exploits? They've loved every minute and they'd love it if things stayed that way. Let them wither on the vine and flounder in the wilderness for the next decade. The 1 or 2 stars they have in an ageing team will leave and their crowds will fall to sub-5000 levels. I'm going to enjoy saints decline into mediocrity every bit as much as Wigan's resurgence.

The anticipated St Helens decline is hugely exaggerated. I see no reason why they won't continue to be a title challenging side.

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg

I do think they will struggle at Widnes for the next two seasons. Crowds are certain to drop to sub 6K once the novelty drops off. They only get 7-8k for the Catalans / Quins / Hudds games where they are now.

Wigan didn't just fall apart after their last golden age which you could say really ran up to 95 (98 at a push). We still competed and reached finals but if you look back a gradual decline was in effect. We lost that invincibility and others overtook us.

Forever in Rented Accomodation:users/saintsold.gif



if, as rumoured, we have signed Shenton and Perry for next season - I am happy with the squad being one of the best in the competition. A lot will depend on the coach who gets appointed obviously, but I am not concerned about any impending doom looming on the horizon.

this decline has apparantly been about to happen for about 10 years now...."you wont be able to replace Martyn/Newlove/Sullivan/Joynt" was replaced with "you wont be able to replace Long/Sculthorpe/Albert/Gleeson/Talau" - and now we are getting "you wont be able to replace Cunningham/Wellens/Gidley/Meli".

We replaced all the "irreplaceable" stars of the early 2000's - I see no major reason why we wont be able to replace the latest bunch.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe.

People said Sullivan, Talau and Meli are irreplaceable? icon_eek.gif

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 - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

He is actually very replaceable, as is Wellens at this age.

We've been in decline for about 10 years according to you lot, one derby loss and suddenly we're going to fall off the map!

We're only 4 points behind you despite nonsensical injuries levels in the backs this year. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we topped SL and made the cup final, I'd take that as far as withering on the vine is concerned.
