Also our attack was spectacular last season, FACT, hence the reason a WINGER of ours won man of steel and our HALF BACK won young player of the year. And why should you be jealous? Il tell you why....BECAUSE WE ARE THE WORLDS MOST SUCCESSFUL, FAMOUS, RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB, AND WE ARE BACK ON OUR PERCH.'"
That Grand Final was won in the first 20 minutes, such was our superiority. But for Tommy Leuluai slipping at the beginning of the 2nd half with the line begging it would have been even more emphatic.

If Richards wouldnt have gone off we'd have put 40 on them, because that Foster is absoulutely terrible.

Really? Strange seeing as we scored 40 points more than them and you scored 60 more. A vast majority of our tries were also scored from inside our own half ala the Gleeson try in the GF.

Unlike the 'let's get a penalty and get "fat boy" to flop over from two metres' tries she's been used to these last couple of seasons.

Having thought about it. She's right. Watching Wigan is like watching paint dry. John Kear said so.

Since when was 10 or 15 years ago not in the past? Why shouldn't we be able to celebrate recent success, yet you can try celebrate players of a completely different era. You can't just act like the past 10 years never happened so it appears like you've been consistently successful every year.

| Pat Richards and Sam Tomkins only looked entertaining because their team mates were boring. Yes you have some exciting players to watch, but an exciting team to watch is a whole different matter.

Yet apparently we can't talk about that, because it's in the past, but you can talk about success 20-30 years ago. Logical. Anyway, the arguing on here is pretty pathetic, lets just wait until the season starts and let the players do the talking for us.

You can talk about your past glories all your life if you wish and you should, but i've not seen anyone stating otherwise and as you well know your reign as Champs is in the past. We are the present, the CHAMPS!! and it seems to be getting under a lot of former Champs skins.

As a recent newcomer to this thread I suggest you go back a couple of pages?
The main crux is that conveniently lots of Leeds fans want to talk about History and decided that 10 years ago is the cut off point!
And Because Leeds Fans have decided that 10 years ago is the cut off point were not a big club unlike Bradford/Leeds & Saints!
We can't point to last year as that was a Fluke (Maybe) so were stuck with last 10 years, hence Bradford/Leeds/Saints fans know more tha us end of.
This is despite a lot of Wigan fans predicting 12/18 months ago that we were prgressing as a club very nocely and the future was bright, they didn't want to listen and believe that Wigans success in 2010 was solely down to some mythical defensive freedom that the RL have allowed Wigan and no other clubs!
You honestly couldn't make it up!
PS
I predicted some 12/18months ago that if Wigan did start to win things this board would go into Meltdown!
I must be Nostradamus!
It is beyond some people to get them to register that when the ord "Wigan" is mentioned their brains go into some kind of warped state that loses all rationale!
For Saintsfan to claim that Wigan are Boring to watch and Saints are exciting while She has been bemoaning Potter and his Boring brand of Rugby on the Saints site for the last 18 months is bordering on Lunacy!
Sgt Wilko & Lionarmour 87 are going the same way as many before them.
But it's what a lot of us Wigan fans Who try and have decent Rugby discussions have become to realise is impossible.
JDRocket's the New favourite, He/She can't see the Hypocricy & Hatred for Wigan in every keystroke that comes from their fingers!
We admit that Leeds fans get it from Yorkshire clubs, Soem Saints fans and the odd Wiganner recently.We get it from Everywhere!
But were used to it, "WE ARE WIGAN" and it comes with the territory!
