| Quote: Grimmy "Leeds yes, but Saints? We finished 1st, they finished 4th. We have won two challenge cups and two grand finals in the past 5 years and they have fluked one by default. When we have played each other over the same period we have won 12 drawn 1 lost 7, with them never winning by more than 8 points and us dishing out some thrashings. Hardly think that backs up what you are saying.
Best of luck staying in the top 8 next season by the way. Whilst Leeds, Wigan and Saints are dead certs for the top 3 with Hudds, Castleford and Catalans likely taking the next positions I genuinely think Warrington have the quality to take 7th or 8th spot with a bit of luck. Your derbys with Widnes will prove vital! ![]()
Perhaps not St Helens then, but I was speaking over the Super League since it's existence. They have won more Grand Finals than you. Even with losing 5.
And thank you kindly, I am sure we will do okay. I look forward to seeing how Willie Isa does next year, I am sure he will absolutely rip it up like he has been doing with Widnes this year.

Can you please respond to my post? the one you made went off on a tangent, I can only draw the conclusion that you weren't able to answer my point sufficiently and actually proved my point that you seem to be stuck in the mid 90's with your response. |

Even when Wigan flirted with relegation in 2006 they dominated SKY's end of season coverage much to the annoyance of Saints.  |

No you didn't. You finished 2nd. You can't even get that right. |

Well at least we now know that a new Castleford stadium would be a waste of money as the fans would rather see a merger with Leeds.

The thing is WWW you don't really want to be getting into that game do you? Because your squad isn't full of Wigan and Saints rejects at all is it? (How is Gary Wheeler doing these days?) |

Why are you saying this like anyone would try to back Wheeler up? ALL Wire fans know he's crap and done naff all for us. But you lot now he's signed will be bigging Isa up haha. Probably like how you all for some reason pretend that Lee Mossop is anything close to being adequate let alone good. |

Wigan only need to tinker with the squad, such is the strength in depth. Wire require a mass clearout which they have started. This allows us to take the odd gamble with certain players if they fit the bill and the price is right.
Next years overseas players: Isa, Gelling & Tautai.
Sam Tomkins in, Bowen out.
Our youth will be another year older and wiser, with the next generation (newly crowned Academy Grand Final Winners) knocking on the first team door.
I don't think we need to worry. |

With regards to your comments on Lee Mossop, you know what? I half expected his shoulder to pack in early-mid season and that be it for him - career over! Early to mid season it's been obvious that he's been holding something back, all the fans could see that.
He's admitted only two weeks ago
I tell you what this last month he has been much improved, not the finished article by any means but slowly getting back to his 2012 form*. Another good pre-season will stand him in good stead to rip into it next year.
*Touch wood he doesn't damage his shoulder in the semi/final now I've mentioned it!

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 |

Can you point to anybody bigging him up?..We are sceptical, but willing to give a chance.... Sorry to not pander to your perceived stereotype.... |
