Not sure why... Wire have been established in the top club's for long enough now that the chance of trophies can be considered comparable... Leeds has big city appeal fair enough... But what exactly do does St Helens/Wigan have?


League titles in living memory? I think it is delusional to think we would be considered comparable.

It's probably why we make do by signing the young players not retained by their clubs. Occasionally we get a gem (Currie).

LOL Gidley. Why should anyone suppose he, as a year older, will have a better season than last (which was pretty nondescript at best and woefully wanting if you consider the CC Final goal kicking and that attempt of a tackle in the GF)

Because he is no7 and we are going to win the treble.
Someone has to take credit.
I don't care how old he is...behind the best pack in the league...you'll look like the best half in the league.
I'm also having a punt on Brown for MOS and Lineham for top try scorer.

I'd say this is a good bet.
Joe Burgess is the bookies favourite at 6/1, whilst Tom is 9th favourite at 18/1.

Another cracking bet is Catalan to finish top after the regular season at 9/1 with a plus 16 point handicap.

All on sky bet.

Lineham at the end of last year seemed to have turned a corner, and I would expect him to be first choice. Good bet if so. However TS is a huge Evans fan, and King is the better centre, so who knows.

But apart from using locally produced players in our squad, the fact that "little Johnny" could one day play for his local heroes could add hundreds of future fans to the weekly attendance figures for many years into the future.It is hard to believe that our Academy system is not capable of producing as much local talent as our rival clubs. The talent is out there & with the right coaching should be no less effective than buying in from Wigan, Saints or Leeds.

It's a bit easy to say that but ... over the years has the Warrington area really created the pool of young talent that Wigan has produced? I'm sure the answer is no.

Not as many schools playing rugby these days,in fact I think PE is not done as much as back in the day.

I think the town could do with another Walter Norris, But even in his day many of our Wire players were brought in from other clubs.
