| Its great to see isnt it, lads who are born and bred Wigan OR have come through the ranks at Wigan.
As much as Phil Clarke bores the life out of me sometimes, some of the figures he was coming out with where interesting, over 2000 lads in the Wigan area play ARL every weekend. There are 147 teams included in this (at all ages levels) and 27 open age ARL teams.
Currently: Tomkins, Tomkins, Hansen, Hock, Ainscough, Mcllorum, O'Carroll, Goulding, O Loughlin are what i would call first teamers, and only Goulding wasnt in the 17 last week.
The futures bright, the futures Wigan....  |

was great to hear the grass roots kids rugby mentioned on a superleague prime time game....was just a pity godwin broke his leg why clarky was in mid flow.
can i ask you one thing? i remember hearing it on commentary, but did he say 2000 LADS, or 2000 KIDS ? because theres a fair smattering of girls among those sunday morning teams.

I'm not 100% sure. "People" does sound more realistic though.

We've always based our best sides around Wigan lads and in an era of a salary cap it's more important then ever to keep producing the best quality juniors we possibly can.
Ainscough and the Tomkins brothers look the business and theres the likes of Thornley and Farrell coming through behind.
If we're clever enough the salary cap and qouta reductions should play right into our hands.

Which of the Backyardigans do you think would make it into the current Wigan side? I'd like to see Tyrone at prop and Pablo at half back. Not sure about Austin. He looks too much like Mathers. In fact, thinking about it, I've never seen Austin and Mathers together which makes me think that they are the same person and Austin is just a stage name.

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 |

The Communist Cap - dragging down success and aspiration to the levels of those who cba.: |
|
|
The biggest difference in the last 2 weeks imo has been the enthusiasm of Tomkins and Ainscough.
Great to see them WANTING to play for their home town club instead of turning up and going through the motions *cough* Moran *cough*.

[size=75:2d8t03fs]Ancient and loyal, upon my chest
they are men of wigans best
a team that plaaayed, the wigan way
and won the championship in may
jim sullivan, he was the king
brian mctigue and johnny ring
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
a team that played the wigan way
and won the championship in may

Wigan's (+Leigh) 2nd try versus Leeds is a cracker, who's the lad who goes full length from a pass from the scrum beating 4-5 Leeds players? Pace to burn whoever he was!
