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 |

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

| Quote: Div "Brian,
anyone who is blaming the referee is an idiot. For what its worth he did make a few mistakes you can point at but doesnt that happen every week ? For me blaming the ref is for losers.
I have been to all our games this season and our defence especially on the goal line has simply been poor and it needs to be addressed. Last week at Craven Park we scored 36 points and were lucky to come away with a last gasp point. If you score that many points away from home you should expect to win, again Friday 34 points and lost that tells you all you need to know.
Whilst as a Saints fan Friday's result losing at the death was disappointing the fact that we blew a 26-8 lead is the real worry.
As for the manner of the final try and indeed Catalans fightback in a peverse kind of way it restored some faith in this game of ours that we like to call the greatest. I think the game has in many instances become robotic and boring with 5 drives or scoots and a kick. Wasn't it refreshing to see a team throw the ball about and play some great open rugby. The final pasage was the most exciting thing I have seen for years even though we lost. You still left the stadium thinking you had had more than your monies worth.
Im not too despondant its early days and we have seen a lot of rotation. I think once Royce decides on his best 17 we will improve.
Don't write us off yet !!'"
Fair play Div. You're right the game was a winner. We love the fact that you got beat in the dying seconds, as you also would if it happened to us.
Simmons, perhaps trying to deflect some of the spotlight off your defensive worries? |

He cannot possibly shy away from it. The team has shown not ability or desire to defend the goal line as yet. We have conceeded a worrying amount of points. Its not like we have p[layed the competitions best team ( although I do think Catalans will go well) . I dont see Salford, London or HKR as top 4 contenders.
He needs to quit his experimental tinkering now and get what he thinks is his best 17 on the park and work hard. |

| There's a really good website - rlhttp://www.theartistifier.com/rl where you can turn your movies into a "The Artist" type one. There's some really good ones on there already. I especially like view_1278 (to view any film just add the name after the web-address.  |

Paul,
I haven't wrote you off at all. There was a big part of me that wanted that last conversion to miss (I think you know why  |

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

People will remember the first derby win anyway.
Last derby at Knowsley Road, first derby at Langtree Park. That would rub it in nicely. |

With all the video ref checks they asked for I m surprised they didnt check the players driving licences, maybe thats gonna be Gansons, peak, "just check the grounding and Sam Tomkins passport"
