A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.

Wigan winning silverware trumps anything England achieve for me although I would prefer to see a GB ashes series win

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST
1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time.
2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time.
3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do...
4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant.
5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed.
6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.: |

England for me. As a Rhinos fan said earlier, it takes the gloss off a good season with a terrible international performance. I think it was the 2004 (but could be 2005) tri nations final my missus and I were at a mates wedding and we found out the score it did ruin a very good day and night.
If it was football again England, but I do support PNE and the only joy I've had from that recently is taking the mick out of my Carlisle supporting manager, so may not be the best person to ask on that one!

You let the result of a match ruin your day and night at a maters wedding? Really? |

England every time.
I find it remarkable that this thread isn't 99% for England. Quite depressing really.

Wigan every time; I'd rather have £100 in my hand than a chance on the National Lottery.
I'll watch the WC simply to marvel at the great talents of our antipodean cousins, world class players throughout the squad. We'll rely on 2 or 3 NRL standard players who would struggle to get a starting place in a City Country Squad.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

But can you not see that unless we become competitive at International level we (as a game) will never get the funding or sponsorship that our great game deserves. If we don't we will get swallowed up by RU and their strong media/international coverage. |

Do you honestly belive that winning the world cup of RL will make the slightest bit of diference to the national perspective of the game? Jack Wilshire smoking has been talked about more on sky sports news more than the grand final today!
We would need the rapture during the game to make a dent on the back page! |

Yes, plus it would have an effect on the sport England funding. |

Those who frequent the VT will frequently see threads can posters saying how superior RU is as an international sport. The main reason for that is the fans care. If the majority of RL fans don't give a toss about England or international RL then why are the media, sport England or sponsors? No money means no sport, no sport means no Wigan.

Well Sam Tomkins would give everything he ever won with us to win the WC and I agree with him.

If you love the sport you will say England if you love the club you will say Wigan.
As much as I love Wigan, I love the sport and to see England win the World Cup is the ultimate for me.
