| Quote: NickyKiss "Injuries to Phelps, Richards and Bailey at Hull and McIlorums suspension may well have saved Nobby his job along with Randalls shocking pass. I just hope he learns a lesson and continues to give the youngsters a chance.
Also like to add that apart from the pass Randall was superb and is probably one of the most under-rated players in superleaue.'"
Even with the pass Randall was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. |

a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the championship in may
when eric ashton was alive
and billy boston by his side
with dave bolton and billy blan
oh what a time to be a fan
in 85, at wem-ber-ly
john ferguson and brett kenny
a team that plaaayed the wigan way
and won the challenge cup in may
in 95 we won them all
tuigamala, faz and paul

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 |

I think young Thornley, with a bit of good fortune and good coaching could be better than Shenton.
He's bigger and faster.

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

Is he as quick out of the blocks Brian? i think this is what seperates Shenton from a few others, along with his ability to run an intelligent line.
Not seen much of Thornley. |

Thornley is definately bigger than Shenton but I wouldnt say he is faster and his acceleration defininately isnt.

Thornley is cartainly bigger and I would say faster, but Shenton is quicker off the mark.
However, if Thoernely gets the right ball then he can be a danger, very similar to a Newlove IMO. |

I thought the best sign of Tomkins and Ainscough was the speed and reaction times the two had when spotting an opportunity. I was well impressed how fast Tomkins was to react and get up with the play in support when Carmont got the offload from Ainscough.
Thats the sign of a good rugby brain, being alert to everything.

Can't beat a little bit of 'cherry and white' enthusiasm to kick start a stuttering team into shape, well done boys!!
They very much so deserve their first team places against Bradford next week!!

Definately and based on performances Tomkins deserves to start in place of Smith, who should be left out completely for McIlorum. I very much doubt Noble will have the guts to do that though |

It was brilliant, you could tell what it meant to Ainscough, he was very "excited" in the aftermatch interview.

Do you think he's been to the Gareth Hock elocution school?
Seriously, the club need to help the young players with media training as part of their development. |

I think he is related to Gaz by the sounds of it! 
Sam was good in his interview. |
