At the risk of incurring the wrath of YG and sounding 'arrogant' I agree with you KR. I think Saints are a really bad side. It only takes a couple of injuries to, say Amor and Walmsley and they are sitting ducks. It's not arrogance, i just think Saints are particularly crap in terms of 'challenging' and of course i want it to happen too because after reading so many insulting remarks about us on Redvee (personal and general) i hope they fail at everything and i don't care how that sounds.

Strange you should pick at our props as being vulnerable should we get an injury or two. I'd actually say prop is our strongest position. As well as Amor and Walmsley we have Douglas and Walker coming in who both had great 4 Nations (Walker named in the top 2 props from all 4 sides). We also have Luke Thompson who along with Ryan Sutton who I've said many times I rate highly is one of the best young forwards in Super League. So prop is an odd one for you to pull us up on. I certainly wouldn't swap those 5 for any other set of 5 from any Super League club. Add Roby to that along with Greenwood and Knowles and I don't think there's a better pack.

However, had you said an injury to any of our 3/4 line will see us struggle then I'd agree. Our options after our first choice 1-5 are either terrible (Owens/Peyroux) or untried (Grace/Wellington). We are also vulnerable at half back as we may see over the next few weeks.

To suggest we are a "really bad side" is obviously a little OTT but this is a Wigan board so it's pointless getting into that debate! Also to suggest we are crap at challenging, after being several ludicrous calls off a Grand Final last year, 2 semis the year before and champions the year before that is all a bit of a stretch of your imagination I think. I'm sure that constitutes "challenging" by anyone's standards. Wishful thinking on your part maybe icon_smile.gif

I predict that the envious troll won't be seen for dust when we pound them (again) on Good Friday.

He wouldn't need to if you just sod off back to evee. You can complain all day on there. You come over here and expect a heroes welcome when we all on here read the rubbish you spout off over there. You insult our club, our fans, our owner and you regularly hurl personal insults at Rogues and tell him to do one. If you dont like the shoe on the other foot i suggest you stay away from forums. You seem to think you own them and only your opinion matters. To you of course it does but i don't run around telling people they are wrong when they disagree with mine. Dont let door hit you on the way out.

Haha what on earth are you talking about? What am I complaining about? What welcome are you talking about? As for me thinking I own the forums, what?! eusa_think.gif

When have I insulted your fans, owner, club,etc? I'm married to a Wigan season ticket holder for a start so why would I do that? You are literally making things up. You've just gone on an aimless little rant and got a bit carried away. I won't be going anywhere unless I get banned (for what I don't know) so I won't need to worry about any door.

I tell Rogues to sod off on Redvee when he is blatantly trolling. There are other Wigan fans on there who I don't say anything to because they aren't trolling. If I was doing that on here I would expect abuse but I'm not. I was adding to a thread about predictions by saying it's arrogant to say Wigan are far superior to everyone else.

Seems like you're the one with the problem because I'm a Saints fan. Get over it.

Not wanting to get in the way of the Saints v Wigan fighting, but I find it strange you see the Saints pack as being better than Watts, Houghton, Taylor, Ellis, Manu, Minichiello, Bowden and Green

I think our props are better certainly, as a group of 5. Taylor had a brilliant year last year, a better year than Walmsley had for example, and I rate him highly. But like I said, I wouldn't swap our 5 for theirs as a whole.
I'd take their back row over ours though definitely. Ellis is better than Wilkin any day of the week, Minichello is awesome and would be the strongest 2nd rower out of the 2 clubs. I rate Morgan Knowles highly but he isn't quite there just yet and I also rate Greenwood highly.
Not much in it at hooker but I still wouldn't swap Roby for Houghton personally, although I admit last year wasn't Roby's strongest.

Taylor, Roby, Amor
Minichello, Greenwood
Ellis

That would be my pick if I had to choose it right now. So 3 of each.
