That's what I'm good at. In fact most folk on here would say I'm a Ledgend.

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "Maurice Lindsay was the ONLY man the Australians respected. He dragged the game kicking and screaming into a new era.
What does make me smile though are these "fans" who berated him for buying success.
Yet they forget Alf Davies at Warrington who bought Murphy, Potter, Ashcroft, Bevan, Nicholas, Whitehead, Chisnall, Clarkson etc.
And what about Brian Snape at Salford, Hesketh, Dixon, Burgess, Gill, Prescott, Watkins, Coulman, Fielding, Charlton, Richards etc.
Hull, with Sterling, AuKoi, Muggleton, Kemble O'Hara, Leului etc.
Saints with Newlove, Martyn, Sullivan, Joynt, Nickle, Matautia, Sculthorpe, Goulding, Long etc.
We could go on and on.
Maurice at the time took chances that paid off. Gill and Hanley were prime examples, match winners, characters, bit players to "stay clear of" He then went on to sell Hanley at a profit, something he very rarely gets credit for.
It's ironic that the thing he created (the salary cap) eventually became his Achilles heel.
The game is certainly much poorer for not having him around in some position, even if it is for some fans to have a go.'"

That was Wmebley 1998, the begining of the End was Salford in the cup 1996. |

There were a lot of things that I didn't agree with Mo on.
However, there is no doubt in my mind that whatever he did, he did with the best interests of Wigan RL at heart.
It's quite ironic that in his first tenure, he was, in the main, Vice Chairman. Jack Hilton was the Chairman, but it was Mo who was quoted in the press, Mo who made the announcements etc.
Overall Mo loved Wigan RL and he loved the game. Many argue over some of his decisions, but I understand that it is sometimes very hard to make those decisons, especially with a club the size of Wigan.
Imo Mo was a giant of the game. Thus far IL is a pygmy. I sincerely hope that IL can grow, but thus far I have seen no evidence whatsoever.
In any case I believe that Mo has been good for Wigan RL and I would like to thank him for his contribution over the years.

I'm going back to our first match at the JJB - ironically, Cas in the first round of the play-offs. That was the night I finally realised the good times were over. |

In 1997 when Bradford went unbeaten until they'd already lifted the title, everytime Saints lost it showed (according to sky) how good Super League was and how difficult it was to defend your title. In 1998 the same was said about Bradford.
In 99 however, it was simply that Wigan were poor (which granted at times we were) rather than everyone else being stronger. That bias has never changed. |

Aye , everytime the great wigan side is brought up on sky eddie and stevo will go ' those days were boring' and 'wigan bought their succes' etc even though the league was often won on the final day , sometimes on points difference. Yet the prospect of a third consecutive title for Leeds , just proves how great super league is! Unbelivable bias and i love it  |

Well exactly. The most competitive Super League ever and yet i'll bet in a Leeds/Saints final for the third straight year.

I'm not so sure and it's been a while since I've been able to say that. |
