It's the off season, let's get a crap thread going.
Who do you think is the most over rated player to pull on the cherry and white jersey?

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

| It's not the off season, we should be discussing the Myler v Tomkins debate 
The most overated player to pull on a cherry and white jersey for me is Denis Moran, untill he got here of course, then we realised how shocking he could be. |

If you rate somebody by how much it cost to get them, it has to be Lee Hansen.

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

Currently: Phil Bailey, people go on about his defensive capabilities but personally I don't see anything in his game to say he's anymore effective than Hansen.

| Hmmm tricky one. Over rated as opposed to plain rubbish and we knew they were going to be such as Jordan James, that's some working out.
Currently unless they up their game somewhat Fielden or Glesson are over rated.
For me cos everyone I knew thought he was sliced bread....Barry John Mather apart from scoring a try in the club challenge I thought he was pants.
How about Quinnell, tonne of hype, did OK.
Opening it up to Super Duper league today..Flannery at Stains.
This should fire up the thread a bit.  |

Ah, if we're opening it up it's James Roby without question.

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.'

Can I be the first to mention the former 'best un-capped full back in the world'?
Step forward and take a bow Doc Murray!

I agree with both your selected players. IIRC didnt we pay for Lee Hanson and give them Shaun Long? Then he went to Saints about 24 hours later (i may be off with that abit though)
As for Roby, he had the one good season but for me since the play the ball seems to have slowed down Roby has gone pants. He won Man of Steel for being a good scooter, pathetic. Ive said it for the last few seasons that Cunningham is the backbone behind that pack and there really going to strugle when he goes IMO! |

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 |

| Quote: Batesy "I definatly agree with Flannery, you hardly ever notice the fella!'"
Well I disagree, Flannery at Saints does a lot of the work similar to Bailey at Wigan.
The problem with a lot of RL supporters is that they only see the flash Harrys who make a few runs or scoots but in effect contribute little to the TEAM.
Most over rated I've probably ever seen in a Wigan team - Jimmy Birts, Shem Tatupu and Peter (iron nan) Davies
Mickey Higham was almost there but I could never fault his enthusiasm and effort. |

The Hansen/Long deal was the worst in Wigan's history.
We paid for Hansen and Long went as well as a make weight in the deal.
Long played about 12 games for Widnes, won MOM in probably 10 of them, then Saints came in and paid £100k for him.
Best value for money they ever paid for a player.
Most over rated? Tommy Gentles.
