Ironically, Bird himself very nearly went to Union, Oh the irony.

It's terrible.

SBW
Gasiner
Hape
Big Lesbian Volcano
Ferrell
Ashton to name a few.

All top players.


To fair, Rugby Union might learn their lesson.

How many have those have succeeded?

Chuck Chev Walker, Karl Pryce and Gareth Raynor in there too.

If the players were or weren't a success isn't the point.

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"

I thanked him and went on my Merry way!

Would have liked

Briscoe to stay, Newton, Ashton.

Often younger players haven't had contracts improved, instead the money has gone to overseas older players.


Good post.

We should never had let Briscoe go, and despite what some peope may want to believe....Wigan did have the option of keeping him but made the decision (which was the wrong one imo) to keep Radlinski (who struggled with injury after this).

Briscoe never wanted to leave Wigan and was devastated to be shown the door, im glad that this decision has proved to be a mistake.

Im gutted we let Briscoe go and Newton for that matter, I would rather have lads like this in the team.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS
