No known famous fans. Town apparently goes into hibernation when rugby league season ends.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1956.jpeg |

| He had a solid game, didn't look out of place, impressed

| Fair play to the man, he's looking a very, very, good signing.

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

| Excited about where this kid could go. He is certainly one of the form front rowers in the competition, and showed again tonight why.
He certainly outplayed peacock tonight, and has already put in big shifts in big games. I think calling him coley mk II is a little unfair. I get the comparison, but I also think he has the potential to be a much better player than coley (this is coming from someone who thought coley was fantastic)

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| Give it 3 years. Mossop, Prescott, Dudson and Crosby will be our pack dominating everywhere they go.
Dudson has improved hugely since coming to Wigan. I remember hearing we had signed him and I went to wembley and saw him against NZ. He ran the ball in hard but was unfit and lazy in defence. Wane and bitcon have him fit and switched on. He looks like a new player. Top stuff.

We seem to have the happy knack of taking a punt, or seeing something different in players, and improving them immensely.
Remember back in the day Neil Cowie and Billy McGinty, who were signed together at the same time?

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

What about Rhodri (plonker) Lloyd. He will be a star. Sadly to keep him we will probably have to lose either Hughes, Tuson or Farrell.

Can't he also play centre?

I think it won't be long before we will be subsidising other teams with players.

| Dudson and Flower both look class and will only get better over the next few years, People already knocking the signing of Matty Smith would do well to remember the groans when we signed these two, Maybe our coaching staff know a little bit more than we do let's trust their opinion and get behind everyone in that Wigan shirt.

I was thinking about Logan last night... I can't see him displacing McIlorum who is still only 24, and being anything more than either a bench player or back up.

| What about Crosby as well? He doesn't look out of place either. The future's bright the futures cherry and white!

| I thought Crosby looked a little lightweight. I thought the same about Hughes at the beginning of the season but he seems to have gained some size and had probably his strongest game for us last night.

Aye me too.
He runs like him and if he can become as good as him we'll have one heck of a player.
