It's nice to have a coach though, maybe you should try getting one at st helens

That we agree on. Although I want better than Wane (no offence) I'm hoping Daryl Powell is our next one in.

Just like you took Potter from Catalans like you took Brown from Huddersfield now you want Powell from Cas! Stick with what you have for goodness sake

I can't stand stains. I will strongly support any side, Wigan included v stains and I have to confess to absolutely
loving the situation they're in.

Over the years, the stains fans always try and take the mickey, much much more than any other opposing fans.
It was so funny last year though- As the press were reporting our interest in Chris Sandow, their board was taking the pee and totally dismissing any chance we had of signing him. Anyhow, about a month later the signing was announced, and to top it off the following day/day or 2 after, stains announced the signing of Dominic Peyroux squad number 9678456678134 at the nz warriors. Ducking brilliant!

A wire fan calling Saints on a Wigan board. You do realise that both Saints AND Wigan call your pathetic club. A club that's tried to buy the league for 10 years now and failed at every opportunity. Wigan and Saints might hate each other but they have each others respect. Wire on the other hand..... Saints recruitment has been nothing short of pathetic for 4 years or more now yet we still managed to win a league in that time. Wire have spent thousands! With the money you spent AGAIN this year you should walk the league IMO yet I'll bet you my last penny Wigan will finish above you this year .

As for Saints I tipped us for 7th or 8th before the season started and I stand by that.

I don't particularly like either club, but one thing I will say is that if you had half the history of wigan, your fans would be unbearable. And on the subject of cash injection, you've been bankrolled by Mcmanaus for way longer than than 10 years. I know things are a bit slow in gypsie land but do you see the irony in a saints fan criticising
Wire or any other team for having a cash investment. The proof is in the pudding. 10 years ago- newlove,Gidley, Sculthorpe, gibbs and many more. Now it's jack owens and world player of the year Dominic Peyroux.

Wigan fans are arrogant, but sometimes arrogance is earned, they are the most successful side in the game.
Wigan say they respect Saints, not sure they do really, they just pay them lip service, they may see Wire as insignificant compared to Saints because you have won more, but don't kid yourself they respect you either.
Saints fans are unbelievably fickle.
If Wigan went down a league, they would lose fans but I guarantee the percentage would be way less than Saints, Saints just have to lose a handful of games and their gates drop significantly.
Saints fans arrogantly assume they have a devine right to steamroll every team in every game.
Listen how noisy you were at Salford...granted only twice at the half time and full time whistle.

I have a begrudging respect for Wigan, Saints...No team I like seeing getting battered more than Saints.

Re: Aww Bless Em : Sat Feb 13, 2016 7:04 pm  

When we play Saints and Warrington there is always a lot of barracking and trolling leading up to the games but when Saints play Warrington there is nothing but hatred from every quarter. Not sure what you have done to each other to earn that though? Could you indulge me? It's borderline worse than Wire v Widnes but they are always a bit more violent

Not in the salary capped Super League era they're not
How long do you want to go go back for them to be the most successful?
Hunslet,Wakefield,Huddersfield and South Sydney (1 GF win recently) have also been successful in bygone years despite winning nothing for years to make them worthy of being the best side in the game
