ask all the genius"s on this board who use the term, was using it as a take me sen like, even though Goulding isnt good enough, the guy won"t pass and can be seen as a bit of a glory hunter, IE not a team player much like Wagga was

but for most of the game our forwards were

Coley
McIlorum
Prescott
Hansen
Joel
O'Loughlin

5 Home grown 1 other (whos english) why am i seeing no mention of this???

Because we are Wigan and people only see what they want to see?

yep, a few people on here seem to have selective vision.

who cares if the backline was fully imports it was only like that due to injurys, and then another of our home grown players came into the backline and won us the game. Get over it people

english.

7 overseas stars.

Pat Richards is an Aussie not Irish, despite his Irish Ancestry and the fact he represented Ireland. He was born in Australia.

But is still registered with the club.

Paddy Richards sounds Irish to me...who's side are you on!

He owns an Irish setter. That has sealed the deal.

I heard he once drank 10 guinness in a minute. that make him Irish in my book.

Who have they represented internationally? Not England

I just like being correct



It particularly frustrated me when Eddie mentioned the backline but failed to mention the homegrown/english talent in the forwards and on the bench prior to kick off.

erm i think if you read the sentence under the listed players you will see the phrase 5 HOME GROWN PLAYERS not 5 english players.

The discussion was regarding overseas "talent" in the Wigan team, I merely pointed out that your academy products are not being picked for England and are representing other nations.

Oh so now that we are actually keeping hold of our youngsters and they are making a success of themselves on the international scene, the gripe that people are holding against us now is that a handful of the youngsters arent playing for England

Listen to yourself...

I hope the three forwards mentioned above stay with Wigan for a very very long time, I was merely making an observation.

FFS

I'm guessing you don't count yourself as one of the [igenius"s[/i then?

And putting your usual negative spin on it for no other reason than that it was Wigan. Isn't it about time you grew up and stopped feeling threatened by a team who are way below you in the table?

.

Harrison Hansen has represented England actually, in the 2003 England Academy team. Get your facts right if you're going to troll!

We won. Who gives a ****?

Interesting, I wonder what our Saints friends thoughts are now.

Meli, Hohaia, Perry, Puletua, Soliola, Laffranchi and Flannery (to be replaced by Manu) Especially as six of them will be 30 or over next year.

Bringing up three year old threads to bait other teams fans on a Wigan board isn't interesting, it's childish.
