Your spot on!
He won all of those playing against a declining standard of RL Player!
If it hadn't declined he wouldn't have got anywhere Near any of them!

It's true, he was the best of all the players because all the other players were better than him  |

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

Wellens is good but still one of the most overated players ever. Briscoe has been better for 2 years now and should of been playing for England and GB.

Briscoe is average and isn't an international class player in a million years. |

He is at the moment, hence he's been picked for England. |

So your first point was irrelevant, if you don't think he is international class thats fine but he is the best we have so he must play. |

| Quote: Badwanger "And the fact that you are defending players who you claimed "not to have seen much of" or "can't remember" is just laughable. '"
Laughable? Ok, so when Saints fans rubbish the successful 1996 squad it isn't laughable but when I make the obvious point that such a successful squad is unlikely to largely consist of rubbish players, and in doing so make the honest and unsurprising admission that I can't remember all of the detail of Saints squad, I'm the one being laughable? You and your fellow pro-CC posters have argued yourselves into some utterly bizarre positions on this thread. You really couldn't make it up.
Quote: Badwanger "
Whichever way you cut it, time will show that Wellens will go down as one of Saints legends.'"
Players are legends for all kinds of reasons. There's a debate gone on recently on this board about whether Barrett is a Wigan legend. A number of people argued that he wasn't, despite the fact that he is an immensely talented player (I await a reply from you trying to argue Wellens is as good as Barrett  Are you serious? Surely this is a wind up?  I'm going to end up with a 10 page sig at this rate! |

Agreed.
Yet another sign of the decline in standards. |

| Quote: Father Ted "The 2008 squad that was thrashed in Melbourne does not compare to the one that beat the Aussies in 1992.
Best Wingman 1992 Offiah, 2008 Gardner
Halves in 92 Edwards, Gregory & Schofoeld. 08 Pryce, McGuire & Burrow.
Those are massive drops in quality of players.
As for the 13s 92 we had Clarke & Hanley, 08 Sinfield & Purham.
Hanley to Sinfield isn't a drop in stanards its falling off a cliff.
We do not have the quality players now that we used to have prior to SL and the SC. There are many reasons standards have dropped. Mainly management reasons. The RFL are useless.'"
The 80s (moving into the 90s) produced four genuine world class Aussie beaters: Hanley, Offiah, Schofield & Ward. That's it. |
