Do they teach mind reading in wigan schools?

I think this is the best post I've ever read on RLFANS.

The "greatest team of the SL era" is a side that finished 2nd and got knocked out in the 5th round of the cup (by Div 1 salford!)







Do you have any other pearls of wisdom you can share with us??

And didn't cheat RL rules to do it ... Oh, no.

If you go there, they'll even try and convince you in their tourist brochures

that they 'invented' Marks & Spencers, but we all know different don't we ?

And ultimately, how did you 'pay' for all that success ?



How is Central Park these days ?

But you're from Standish ... That's like living in Chigwell and claiming you're from London

We most certainly do,and if they created Marks and Spencer's they certainkly have a poor excuse for a Marks and Spencer's store.I once got to Central park early and took a walk round the town centre,Pudsey and Morley was more impressive

Think that says more about your teams effort and heart in some of your other games rather than our worry! Not played well twice and got 3 points off you sign of a good side! Huddersfield didnt get close to us so that theory is out!

No moans with how you played you came and did what we have been doing to other teams (however it wasnt our chairman saying that wasnt how to play!)

Shame Danny missed with his drop goal attempt at the end would have been a crucial point for you!

Did you know that Marks and Spencer's first "proper" shop, as opposed to a market stall, was in Wigan?

It was in the Makinson's Arcade. It is a cafe now.

Kirkgate market lad,opened by a citizen of Leeds,why did'nt they keep the proper shop then than have the excuse of a store in wigan town centre?

Pies are more important.

than?

He means cake!! BAN HIM!!!!

The same Warrington team that have lost 5 games this season compared to Wigan's 3??? Thought so.

You haven't learned from your neighbours the other side of the lump over recent years, have you?

Where you finish on the ladder at the end of the regular season is an irrelevance. It's how you turn up in the playoffs that counts.

IMO, with the Saints monkey off their back these days, Warrington are the best side in the competition - particularly for one-off games like the playoffs.

Based on Wires brilliant play off record?

I wasn't aware we'd adopted the Argentinian football system of deciding things based on a three year average of results? What Warrington have done in the playoffs since 1998 is irrelevant.

Even if we were using that as a yardstick, Warrington's record in one-off, lose and you're out games over the last couple of years in all competitions is up there with Leeds and Saints.

It's certainly better than Wigan's over the same period. How long was it before last year since you reached a major final?

Good thread this. Anyone for cake?

So we are comparing One off massive cup games against the likes of Featherstone, Swinton, and Keighley to beating Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Huddersfield? Right you win hands down then!
But until last season Leeds fans kept informing us that its what you do in the play offs and we didnt have it in us!

As for last final think you know its 2003 but I thought it was all about the here and now not about looking into rugbys past for facts and figures or as that change now!! Even then you say use since the play offs as a yard stick but then only use last few years!!

You changed it the minute you brought up Warrington's play-off record.

If you don't want reference making to your own team's choking, don't bring up someone else's as a yardstick.

wigan fans are talking like they've won both trophies already

Good post that.

I love Wigan fans, they always make me feel better about myself.

You brought up the winning play off type games!!
Also think you will find that in win or bust games over the last few years Wigan have won more than both Wire and Leeds but hey o!

the games that can really be described as "win or bust"are finals,wether they are SL finals or CCfinals and Wire have won the last two win or bust CC finals,and Leeds?well hey o!I think they've won a few win or bust games in the last few year's,as you say HEY O!
