Quote: Conroy "I actually believe that our trophy record deserves such adulation on TV and if any of you moaning fans don't like this then try to cheer your own club on a bit more and try to emulate the best British RL side ever and deliver something to beat our records.'"


Wigan bought all their previous trophies and had to sell central park due to their extravagance whilst the Rhinos have won their trophies during a salary cap era whereby each club can spend the same amount on players,almost like winning trophies on a level playing field if you like, funny coincidence that Wigan haven't been as successful under these regulations

Wigans major success' were a long time before most of your ultras were even born

That from a Leeds fan?

Remind me why Ellery Hanley left Wigan for Leeds?

You ATTEMPTED to buy all the trophies you just weren't very good at it.

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

John Gallagher, Allan tait, Ellery Hanley, bobby goulding, Craig innes, John Bentley, kevin iro, Faimalo, Richy Eyers, Gregory, Wane I could carry on and on.....
Leeds were at just as much as Wigan difference being Leeds failed misarably plus Wigan always had a huge chunk of local lads in the squad.

More revisionist history - Wigan sold Central Park due to financial issues caused mainly by the new Whitbread stand built at Central park going way,way over budget not because of over spending on players, true Wigan were in a situation where they had to maintain success to maintain the playing staff but that was manageable - the over run on the stand completely destroyed the club finances and budgets. But lets not let facts get in the way of a rant shall we?

Officially RLFAN's most Doe-eyed Happy Clapper. Big Steve wrote: The Internet has provided some wonderful creativity, opportunities and knowledge sharing but it has also given a worldwide forum for people you would leave a full pint behind in the pub to avoid having to listen to them. aboveusonlypie... If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg



Lordy, not this silly old chestnut again. i think the game went "Professional" some time ago, and i don't recall any rules to say other clubs could not try to be successful as well.... However, then as now, some clubs are happy to bounce along the bottom with no ambition whatsoever.

Well, Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber were at it again last night.
How many times during the Stains / Catalans game (Stains lost by the way icon_smile.gif ), did they mention how well Leeds were doing in the league, AND that they had two games in hand? icon_evil.gif

What's the rumpus, Tom? [quote="Pemps":1dso5atj]I can't confirm Bennett's exact words but I believe they were along the lines of "Strewth Ian, I wouldn't touch him with yours. He's a flammin' Gala".

Brian Carney must have been upset that Saints were unable to pull off "the biggest comeback in years" last night against the Dragon's.

Well they were at least 8 points behind

Biggest comeback Brian?

Really?, i mean Really?

How about World Class Leon Pryce last night (even though he looked like he was running through treacle with seconds left on the clock)!

Only time I think i've ever shouted for him to run the length of the field and score! icon_lol.gif
