It's absolute gash at the moment. Which is why I will be watching the Reserve grade aswell from now on.

shame channel M don't cover the rugby anymore

Two words.

Communist Cap.


Many of us have warned this would happen.

It is happening now.


Get used to it, for it will get worse.


Sad day when I have to watch RU for glimpses of genuine talent.

Nothing typifies Wigan arrogance more than this thread.

There are some outstanding players in Super League at the moment. James Graham is one of the best prop forwards I have ever seen insofar as an all-round game is concerned, and in people like McGuire, Gidley, Burrows, Long, and Pryce there are players that would compare equally as well with any of the games greats of old.

What you mean is that because you are seeing dross in a Wigan shirt, the game must be poor. Wake up. The game has moved on from your one good period at the end of the eighties. Isn't it a about time you did?

Ancient? Yes, in that you live in the past. Loyal? Not much evidence of that.

Graham- class forward

McGuire-Average

Gidley-Class in superleague, was washed up in Australia

Burrow-Average

Pryce-Average

Long-has been class and will go down as a modern great(as much as it hurts to say).

Average league with a smattering of quality players in it.

Out of interest who do you think is the best scrum half in superleague? IMO it's Michael Dobson who struggled to hold down a regular place in an NRL side..............go and figure that one out.

Thanks for the laugh guys and gals. Too many posts to respond to.


Bye


I quite agree, Wigan are boring but that comes from the coach.



Wigan have been crap for years. It didnt happen suddenly its like a slow painful death that the rest of super league enjoy.


Expect another on the turnstyle at leigh then


You fibber - you do want us to let you win everything admit it.

Even if they took the cap away now Hull KR, Leeds and the Wire to name 3 have far more financial muscle than Wigan now.

And if the stadium dodgers like ourselves ever do get a new ground to boost our earnings where would that leave wigan?

The cap is a good thing for wigan, it will allow you to continue to compete when you sort out your coach, current bulk buying of the cheap and mediocre/aging "stars" and continue to promote from within with a sprinkling of world class talent.

Wigan have arguably the best patch for new players.

But can you wait 4 or 5 years?

Graham: Nothing more than a cart-horse. No speed or skill.
McGuire: What does he create? He's a finisher, thats about it.
Gidley: Another ex-Aussie. Yes he has skill, does he create anything spontaneous or just do a centre's job?
Burrows: Just small...? What did he do in the WC? Speed is his only adv.
Long: What a joke, scrum halves of old would laugh at him. On the same level as Lam, Robbie Paul, Brett Kenny, Shaun Edwards? I think not.
Pryce: Doesnt have a position. Says it all. He has a good sidestep. Can't kick, can't tackle. Crap against Aussies. Yes - superb player.

Its opinions like yours that cause us to celebrate mediocrity.

behave yourself mate! graham is one of best props you've ever seen? how long have you been watching rugby? as for the others being amongst the games all time greats, didn't you watch the world cup last year?

if i were you i'd concentrate on keeping your place in super league. following the stories of financiasl problems and john kear's comments this week i'd be getting ready for life outside SL.

This thread wouldn't exist if Wigan were near the top end of the table.
