And that is why there should be a rule that says any player who is from your own service area and comes through your own academy system should not be counted (or have a percentage dispensation) against the salary cap.
I'm sick, tired and peed off arguing about it.
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
What a thoroughly depressing thread - its sad to see that people have lost their enthusiasm for Wigan during the current plight. For some reason though I just can't relate to it, although I am willing to criticise the club, coach, players and tactics as much as the next fan, I always thought that supporting the club was in both good and bad times. Maybe we have all been spoiled in the past and have expectations a little too high considering how times / rules have changed. Admittedly there are things that I would change at the club, but I still feel the same about the rugby - I can't wait for the games to come around and despite numerous disappointments over the last couple of years, the passion is still there - the pain of defeat and inconsistent performances doesn't get any easier. But it won't stop me following a club that have given me so many great times in the past. Yes, it can be difficult to watch 5 drives then a kick and the forward pack being dominated when comparing it with the past, but other clubs / fans have been watching dull rugby for years and their core support always remained. At least we can have a bit of optimism in the quality of youth in the reserves / academy that will be emerging in the next couple of years - it may take a new coach to get us moving back in the right direction, but I look forward to it happening in the long term. It'll be all the sweeter having experienced the last 3 / 4 years.
Anyway there is my optimistic contribution - its game day again, the sun is shining and for once I can be reasonably confident of an away win.

Ryan Hudson
Eorl Crabtree
Paul Reilly
Andy Raleigh
Ian Thomas
Anthony Farrell

You are serious as well arnt you!
Ryan Hudson Drugy, should have got a lifetime ban, not as good as Newton, Cunnigham, or Roby. So he at least fourth in the list. And didnt he start at Castleford?
Crabtree.
I dont even need to justify why he wont play but he at least 5ht best prop who could be picked.
Andy Raleigh, are you serious, who are you leaving out to pick him?

No Hudson started at Huddersfield and why ask for a response when its obvious you just gonna disagree.
You asked for players of Huddersfield who have played for GB and I gave you a list of players who should have played for GB/England
It's obvious fools like you lot won't agree unless he wears a cherry and white shirt.
Raleigh in and leave Hock or o'Loughlin out? you choose!!
Don't bother to reply cos unless i posted a 17 of purely Wigoon players ya won't be happy.
