"So if Wigan R.L.F.C had been formed in 1999 and won a trophy every year for the past 10 years we'd be a GREAT club then?"
No - because greatness is a mixture of things IMO - history being an important part of that mix, as is the ability to win trophies. Like I said we've won one in ten years. Add the way the club has been run in the last 6/7 years and it'll be a while before we can call ourselves great again.

If by some miracle we manage to win something this year he'd be inconsolable.......
The complete opposite actually - I been one of those laughing at those who've been whinging all season. You need to stop reading Cockney Latic so much, and start reading things on here before you start making thing up about me.
You also need to read when I posted the start of this thread.

Seeing as this club has won more trophies than any other club in HISTORY, by your reckoning there isn't one club in RL than can call itself GREAT.
Stains a great club? No as they've won alot of trophies recently but we blow them away in terms of honours/history
Leeds a great club? Well we'd better not go there
So no there aren't any great club just aload of mediocre ones. OK Mr Andy??
When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club. We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens. Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before. Shaun Wane 8/10/09

You need to actually read what I said and stop making things up before you embarrass yourself further.
There's a lot of bollox there, based on your incorrect reading of what I originally wrote. I'll let you work yourself up some more trying to work it out.

By your reckoning Andy were does Wigan R.L.F.C stand in the line-up of top RL clubs.....

That'll be £5 please Pemps.
How have I incorrectly read "once great club" thus implying we are not now a great club.........
Its called having a difference of opinion pal.

No you incorrectly assumed why I don't think we are a great club at the moment.
Nobody is stopping you having a difference of opinion. However, it's you who seems to have a problem with mine, based on your incorrect interpretation.
