Quote: Slugger McBatt "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.'"



Well done, you have named 6 players in the best two teams in the league. Six ffs

Oh, the the oft trotted out lines about arrogance. Surprised you didn't mention the Wigan walk, salary cap, or Maurice Lindsay icon_rolleyes.gif

And it's Burrow by the way, not bloody Burrows. Jeez, are you Jonathan Davies?

This thread is about RL being currently boring at SL level.

If the game has moved on so much since the eighties, how come the current UK superstars you mention above are seen as a joke by the Aussies and were recently taken to the cleaners by them?

Quote: St_Maca "icon_lol.gif
Gidley was struggling in the NRL before he came here but because this leagues average he has settled in nicely.

Long is a modern day great as i've already posted but Pryce is nothing more then a fancy dan runner that goes missing when the big games come around.

Super League is at it's poorest ever point imo but Saints fans won't admit it until they're on the way down and the smaller clubs won't admit it whilst they're getting a few more wins then before yet bog all to show for it.

It will get better though imo aslong as clubs stick to the quota rules and get plenty of yongsters through their systems...........something that Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Cas etc can't be accused of not doing.

Although I would prefer Wakey to be where you are, well done on KR for rocking the established order. If Wigan fans are leaving Super League in droves, perhaps the loyal part of the badge should be deleted. The rest of rugby league at the end of the eighties and early nineties was dire, because it was filled by part-time players. It is the best it is has ever been at the moment. I don't hear the same rumblings from other clubs.

No problem with the Wigan club as an organisation, and a big nod to the genuine fans. Unfortunately, many of the fans are being exposed for what they are, glory hunters, who aren't prepared to see out the thin in readiness for the thick, and who don't realise that rugby league happens outside of the Wigan town boundaries.

I think the standard is poor at the minute but would never ever stop watching the sport.

It's still the greatest sport on earth yet could be so much better(over here).

Like i say if clubs stick to the quota rules and get plenty of youngsters through it'll improve but belive me it has to.

Patronising drivel


Reality is Wigan are pegged back as a club due to the CC.


It's unnatural and pathetic (and more likely than not illegal).

Take it away and we will see how the "natural order" of RL pans out.


All this BS about a "level playing field" and "how good it is to see a "competitive" competition" is cringeworthy.


The sooner this sport realises that there are big clubs, small clubs, and clubs in the middle, the sooner we can improve the product on the field.
