Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

Quote ="Whiting"hock was crap last night. j. tomkins wouldnt stand a chance in the NRL. oloughlin neither. carmonts too old and slow to play in the NRL now and he's class over here.. which shows the difference in standards between the comps. From what i've seen of Finch aswell, let's just say i'd be disappointed if i was a Wigan fan. I'm not confident Richards could play over there either. So there's my views

Joel is playing out of position since gleeson left, hence the relatively poor season
Carmont slow? eusa_eh.gif" alt="eusa_eh.gif" title="EH" /> Who is significantly faster at centre?
Finch was some people's MOM on friday, has two NRL winners rings and played SOO until 2 years ago
Richards has a 2005 NRL winners ring with wests, current MOS
Not sure where your coming from
As for your team id have manu, briscoe, Yeaman and O'Meley in the Wigan side, Houghton possibly on the bench, because i think he has lots of potential and would excel under a better coach |

Quote ="Rock God X"I don't get the hype about O'Loughlin. He's a decent player, but massively ">overrated.'"
I'd actually say he's the opposite, as in massively underrated by opposition fans. He puts more than his share of work in, tackles well, runs hard and can throw a decent pass when needed. Look at how Gareth Ellis is ripping it up in the NRL, I wouldn't say Ellis was a stand out player and miles better than O'Loughlin, so if he can do it, I'm sure O'Loughlin would make it.
And being fair to your players, the team you had out against us is strong on paper. I wouldn't really say its a poor squad, just poorly coached. But that's just an outsider looking in. For me on paper your players are good enough. Over the season it's just about consistency and coaching them to reach form at the right times. 3 years ago Wigan fans were saying the same thing, we haven't changed the players much but the coaching has been improved vastly.

Agree with all of that. (Apart from Curly O'Loughlin is a irritable little $h1te.)

| Quote ="berro's best mate"looking at our team there seems to be in my opinion only 4 good/great players...manu,westerman,o'meley and briscoe..
from a squad of 20+ players that is embarrasing for a club of our size..
these four are the only ones who i could see making it in the nrl..and thats the benchmark we have to look at seeing as its the premier comp in the world...
thoughts??'"
Was having a similar discussion on friday night, how many of our current squad would get int the wigan side? Manu and maybe Briscoe, the rest not a hope. | | | |
