I like to see Wigan do well, I think SL needs a strong Wigan near the summit, for their fans references to their history they're just the same as Liverpool fans.

1. Yes you're right both Wigan and Leeds where Full time clubs with a few ither teams having one or two players that where full time. However does that sound like good competition to you ?

2. Name me one world class player that Wigan have produced in the last 5 years ?

Just because a professional Wigan/GB outfit won a lot against amateur sides means very little.


As for their current predicament, they have been run by morons for a long time.


They have had terrible coaches.

Their junior development is dead, stone cold ****ing dead.

Their player recruitment is hopeless.


In fact, outside of the fact they have pretty much an open check book, everything else about the way the club is run is rotten to the core.


They are the London Broncos with money.

silly aussie not knowing anything...

remember when wigan travelled over to australia missing an entire front row and stuck it to the broncos? remember when wigan travelled over to aus and win the world 7's? haha so what does this say for your aussie clubs over there LF? amaturish! haha! and you will probably come back and contradict your self like you always do!

and would you like to explain the point we are the london broncos with money??

I assume he means buying in the team rather than developing it.

We're talking about the CURRENT best club in the world. And the the last thing you won was about 7 years ago. Which says it all really.

Let them cling on to the past, its all they have.

On your way

You mean this "greatest club in the world" who, in their official club shop, can't spell their players' names right?

Or get kicked out of the stadium they play in?

Or who constantly replace up and coming youngsters with average antipodeans?

Or who get constantly battered by their major rivals?

Or the lot who signed a FB that couldn't play at night?

On your way
