Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.
Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36121.jpg |

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 |

Rugby league must be a great game to survive the people who run it.
Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4916.gif |

| Pleased with Matty Smith as a signing, never really understood why Saints let him go in the first place.
Welcome on board Matty - hope you enjoy your time with us  |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Delighted with this signing.
1. Tomkins
6. Finch
7. Smith
13. Lockers
1. Tomkins
6. Lockers

13. Farrell
1. Russell/Murphy
6. Sam
7. Finch
13. Lockers
I know which I would rather have, simple as that.
We now go into next season with a half-back already settled. Much better than going in with 2 brand new half-backs.

...because we had Eastmond, Pryce & Wheeler... Matty is a good solid pro who'll never let anyone down but given the choice of which 3 out of those 4 you would have kept back then then it was a no brainer frankly, irrespective of what's happened to their respective careers since. |

Good signing for you, I am sure you wont mind us keeping Mellor now. Timing also appreciated as it weakens Salford before we play them on 20th (OK may not weaken them enough, but every little helps as they say!).

That's the key thing for me.
We'll kick off 2013 with a halfback who's played the Wigan system and linked up with Sam, Mickey Mac and Lockers etc in training and matches for 7 months. |

Fair enough, obviously not seen them all in action as often as you have and some players are just in the wrong place at the wrong time, it looks like that may well happen to Joe Mellor with us, never good for any player to have a serious injury but Joe's injury seemed to come about just as he appeared to be on the brink of breaking into the first team and things haven't gone kindly for him in that respect since. |

Top club picking on the bones of a lower club in need of cash right at the business end of the season. Good one Wigan ! Good for Rugby league, absolutely not !

1. its not the 'business end' of the season, we're only just in July!
