It does make sense, as much as i dont like it. |

Agreed, its less than ideal in theory but there are many benefits to this system in reality and it has to be the way to go, it will also benefit the players as well, i have no doubt the World Cup experience with Ireland for O'Caroll and McIllorum has improved them as players, especially the latter. |

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

It would be easier to just bring back GB then wouldn’t it? No confusion over split loyalties or people representing one country one year and a different one the year after.
Have GB tour play AUS and then NZ alternate years and let the other home nations play against the likes of France, Samoa & PNG etc at the same time.
Not only is that more international games but GB can be brought back as well.
Don't know how it would work for Aus or NZ tho? |

To develop the international game we need to be split! Every now and again be GB on a tour but keep it as england!
We should of been doing this for years! |

Prescott's a solid player. He would need to improve a fair bit to get into the squad while Morley and Peacock are still around, but he will be in his prime when they are out of the way so I can see why he would prefer to play for England.

Even if 'someone' hasn't, I would expect him to make the change anyway, anyone with any kind of international ambitions would pick England over Ireland given the choice.

I dont know if you are joking or not mate but techincally Pat Richards actually is Irish as he has Irish parents (if not both one deffinatly is) When they interviewed him during the world cup he said that his parents were Irish its just he was born and raised in Australia hence the accent (At least thats how i remember the interview, please someone correct me if i am wrong  ) |

Correct that pal. Both his parents are Irish. The family moved from Dublin to Oz just before he was born apparently. The interview I heard also said that the majority of his family still live in Ireland so it's a bonus for him plying his trade in this part of the world as he gets to see them regularly.

We can hold our heads up high around town. Not for us the ignomony of having once supported United, Liverpool or Everton and then shamelessly casting our previous loyalties aside for a 2 bit fly-be-night outfit with no history or standing in the town. Not for us having to swear blind that we never supported another club, not for us having to swear blind that we watched our club pre-JJB.
We are Wigan Rugby League. Established 1872. The town's true club. Ancient and Loyal.

For a team that lacks so much composure like we do, this gives me more confidence for the weekend.
I would hate for us not play well this weekend. I am happy to go down in a great game. But please please win for us ....

His tackle on flying Kylie Leuluai was one of the best i've seen this year, he's really come along well this year.
If O'Carroll can keep at the same rate he was going at before his injury then we could have a very good set of props for the next 10 years.
