Anyone else have flashbacks to Cardiff 2008 after Gelling made him look stupid at the end? Shame he didn't score otherwise it would have been on the highlights.

Watching Mathers and Tim Smith play sent shudders down my spine and gave me an even greater appreciation of the team we've watched develop over the past few seasons.

Those types of players and the teams performances at that time just make me look forward all the more to games like this Saturday.

Tough choice as to which of them was worse, defensively. For me, Tim Smith won the "turnstyle of the day" award.

Next question: who would you prefer as our favourite opposition fullback, Mathers or Wellens? icon_mrgreen.gif icon_mrgreen.gif icon_mrgreen.gif

Just remember you got Martin Gleeson in that deal. Richie was a good fullback for you.

His two tries in our Grand Final victory in 2010 will go down in history, you're right.

And Mathers was never a good fullback for us. So Much so her was once Boo'd pre match in the South Stand bar - that's how little respect the Wigan fans had for the effort he had shown us in his time at the club.

Mathers was awful for us, the fans at the 6 teams he has been at have never rated him highly and the coaches obviously think the same way.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.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



Quote: Conroy "Anyone else have flashbacks to Cardiff 2008 after Gelling made him look stupid at the end? Shame he didn't score otherwise it would have been on the highlights.'"


The annoying thing about that was that the try was disallowed. We were making out way towards the exit and were in line with the touchline. Gelling was at least a foot inside the touchline.

Mind you it's not the first time we've been done by a touchie at that ground.
1962 when we got robbed 5 - 4. Frankie Parr broke round the blindside of a scrum and was clear only for the home friendly touchie to decide that Parr was in touch (never).
Not that I'm bitter about it icon_twisted.gif

It ranks alongside the Billy Benyon try in the Championship final and the Keith Hepworth tackle on Colin Tyrer as the worst decisions I have seen.

I'd have liked another look at the Gelling no try tbh. I hate that there aren't video refs at every game.

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013 Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013 Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg

You mean the one that was disallowed by that infamous Video Ref - Lou Scarrie ???
