| Looking good due to the poor quality of the league. Wire have dropped down, Huddersfield (who beat us) have already burnt out as usual, and Saints who've been a top team for years are having a terrible season.
If I was a better man, my money would be on Leeds, they know how to win when they need to.

Wigan have played 13 and won 10. Huddersfield have also played 13 and won 10. How have they 'burnt out' exactly?
Don't get me wrong, I do believe they will tail off in the second half of the season but saying that they have burnt out already is a very ignorant comment.

I look at the performances. Ignorant not to watch what happens on field.

Yet they've still won the same amount of games as us, and as you said, they beat us. I think next weeks game against Wire will have a big bearing on their season.

It's not damning the team with faint praise to say as you do that we are looking good due to the poor quality of the league. I am more surprised about that than how well some of our young players have done. Mind you I don't think Hudds have already burnt out and I'd put them up there with Leeds and Wire as the teams most likely to give us trouble in either of the major competitions should we have to play them.
The thing is though even Saints can't be written off because with a few injured players back (notably Roby) while they might not be favourites it depends on the state of the sides they have to play in the play offs injury-wise. Such is knock out football.
As to us its very hard to judge because we face quality opposition less than one game in four it seems to me. True the team can only play what is in front of them but I don't think putting shed loads of points on poor teams is an indication of potential success when it matters.
The most enjoyable part of the season so far has been the emergence of the young players especially Burke and Crosby.

Oh aye, winning in France with 12 men is a sure sign of decline.
I've got the feeling that, with the two Browns out of the picture, they will last a lot longer this season.

| Quote No1 Saint="No1 Saint" Saints have had a downward spiral squad wise for a number of years , its worse for us because we were so damned good. We have excuses now , Union is richer, NRL is richer, the pound is weaker but we didnt a few years back
The same scenario is playing out at Wigan now but there thick fans are too stupid to see it. Although much better than our 6 & 7 they have replaced Finch and Lulu with inferior players (who they paid fee's for !), Mossop and Hock are off and being replaced with an old welsh bloke. Tomkins will be next and despite all the crap spouted by Rogues and others they have no replacement , whoever they put at 1 will be a massive downgrade although I'm sure Pollard will sugar coat it, hold a big press conference and tell everyone it's not really a bad thing for Wigan or English RL in general and that he'll be back when he's ready for the knackers yard.'"
Apparently the Stainz think we are deluding ourselves, we are now in the downward spiral....
I think Wigan are setting THE example on and off the pitch. If we don't win anything it will because the opposition on the day would have played an amazing match (or that frog would have been referring). The games we have lost so far have been pretty close and probably down to inexperience but this group will always give a good account of themselves and they are a joy to watch..

Whilst there's no question our young squad have exceeded most expectations thus far including mine I don't think any team in SL is a joy to watch. Compared to the NRL we are farther behind than ever before.

| Love the quote from No 1 Saint. You gotta love the Saints fans and the nonsense they come out with. Do they actually believe this stuff or is it a tongue in cheek wind up? Hard to tell but very amusing either way!

The best thing about reading that latest pile of self-kidding horse manure from No 1 Saint is imagining where his head is at present regarding his beloved team. He might as well be in the 7th level of Hell - and he knows it.
Plus, isn't it great being called thick by someone who can't, and never has been, able to string two sentences together in comprehensible English.
