the reason why Saints and Leeds have overtook Wigan is that they have simply been better than Wigan at recruiting better players and also have had very little injuries during the past 3 or 4 years the answer is very simple the salary cap has ruined Wigan's plans to back at number one again.
Look at premier league football for example if man utd chelsea arsenal etc had to oblige by a salery cap it would be possible that another team that recruits the better players than those 3 would be top!
and to add too that we were the only full time professional outfit to start with, and being able to out do everyone with money when it comes to signing players really isnt alot to shout about if you look at it logically, as some would say we bought our success, and the brittish players we had playing at the time were the cream of all the english talent over here.
