Maybe...
But then again maybe it is.
I will throw you a starter for ten.

Been through this with you many, many times before. Just on one basic level. Warrington are now backed by a multi millionaire, surely if the RFL were so hell bent on stopping Wigan winning things, they'd have changed the rules to suit Warrington's new found wealth?

| Wiganers on this thread, utterly hilarious.
Tomorrow is another Grand Final for St Helens, not some rebirth of a great club. Its terrific for Wigan to finally be back, that is obvious but dont try and proclaim that the entire game hates you and its the birth of an era of Wigan domination. It isnt. Its a 5th Grand Final in a row for Saints and its about time we win another. For Wigan its a welcome back. Its Sam Tomkins' first final and I expect he'll a hell of a lot more and hopefully against St Helens.
What tomorrow should herald is the welcoming of Wigan back to the top table and I do believe that certainly over next year and probably years following a serious and genuine rivalry between the 2 clubs. No more 75 - 0 for a while I dont think. Both clubs have dominated the sport over a large number of years and I suspect we will do for a good few more.

Why?
at the next level down Wigan have beaten you for the last three years which would suggest that Wigan have the better junior players coming through.

Both teams have made the final though haven't they? I think he is saying both teams will dominate.

Do you really believe that what happens at youth level is a real indicator of senior level ? It isnt.

Of course it is.
Look at the Leeds team that has won the Grand Final for the last three years.
Then go back and look at the Leeds academy team from eight years ago.

Nonsense Boyo.
Saints have been in the last 5 Grand Finals.
How many finals has our youth set up been in, in contrast ?
Wigan have not reached a Grand Final in 7/8 years. How many finals has your youth set up reached in contrast ?

You have been in the last three academy finals (and lost them all) plus one U18 which you won.
Wigan have contested every academy final (at both levels) for the last three years.
It takes time for these kids to come through. (As I showed with Leeds)
The problem is that Saints will be relying on the likes of Wheeler and Foster, whereas Wigan have Tomkins, Farrell, Marsh, Charnley etc
Just look at the scores in this years U20's games if you think that you have the talent to match Wigan.

Ohhhh rightttt.....So it takes time for the youth academy to bear fruit at Wigan but at Saints it doesnt ?
Yeahhhhhh, good call.
Stop posting such utter rubbish. Arent you the guy that suggested Saints supporters were the ones posting disrespectful things on Facebook re Terry Newton ? I'd suggest you hide in your hole.
