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

That must take the total to 349,975,389,000 but Gary Wheeler would be a great signing.

No-one was having a go mate. We get so many of these type rumours you'd think every half-decent SL/NRL player was contracted to Wigan :lol:

Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.

Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds

Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.

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

Wigan offerd a contract to Gary Wheeler a couple of month ago.


Whats the deal then? I'm guessing he didn't accept, do you know why? Has he instead resigned with Saints or not?

I mean since they were last succesfull... And i don't agree, we are very close to having a good team/squad...

And pretty much exactly what I was trying to say in a thread I created a couple of months ago entitled "Turning the Ship around".

I tried to point out that the change in fotunes didnt't happen overnight from relegation to Champions - It happened in small stages AND sometimes we had to take a backward step to get there i.e selling our best player in Fairbairn to create funds etc to strengthen the squad first.

Some poster say Graham Lowe!
I say Maurice Bamford, Alex Murphy, Clarke/McCinnes & Then Lowe!

Some say Andy Gregory
I say Jinkin Jimmy, Gary Stevens,Keith Holden, Mike Ford then Andy Gregory!

There are many other parallels but in essence the stories the same.

It Took Mo 6 years to win a CC and 8 to win a League title without the Hinderence of Salary Cap etc and he did it IMO in small steps!

To quote you i think....


Well said, it would have been very interesting to have had a forum back in those days, especially Bamford/Murphy

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

It was a great ploy by Wigan. Offer Wheeler a good contract, Saints had to up the ante and were forced to pay over the odds for a lad who although is talented has spent half of his career thus far on the treatment table.

Can you imagine the uproar on the Saints site if Wheeler had gone to Wigan and they lost Eastmond to Rugby Union?

That could be quite right. As the Wigan contract was 20k more.

20k more aye and he still chose saints, is that because of loyalty or did saints match Wigans offer? Not that your forced to know but I though I'd ask.
