not really, i think he must have thought your post would have been better posted on a wigan forum rather than a wire one? i know i did,and yes,i know its a rl forum,but still!plus id rather discuss how the wire team are fairing up rather than be bothered to discuss just how good the present wigan team is or isnt compaired to the past wigan team

,still each to their own i say.

IMO its the best Wigan team since the mid 1990s, its better than their Grand Final winning team of 1998, but it would not beat the side of 1995 and earlier.

Very much agree with that, Sally.

In my opinion this Wigan side is already better than the 2010 grand final winning side. The vast improvement of players like Mcillorum and even Tomkins is astounding.



We may well need to re build for next year with Lima, Tommy, Carmont and maybe Finch going but we have shown against Leeds (who weren't great) that we do have depth

It was a statement I made tongue in cheek cos we all know what happens when a thread about wigan gets posted on the warrington forum. Tape measures at the ready

You can't compare the Wigan team of today to the Hanley , Edwards era as that team then was the only fully professional team in the league and had an unfair advantage over the others !

This new Wigan team is good but not better than us , and can be beaten by any team on a one off , but that's what the cap has brought to the competition !

It's looking like a two horse race again for the shield between us n pies but someone could go on a run but we still have plenty to come back in M Monnas and Sol and Myler at the right end of the season fresh and ready for battle !

So the answer is No ! Reasons above !

Wigan are in a rich vein of form at the moment, but so were we last season and people were saying that we were unbeatable. If people think back to last year there were constant mentions from Wigan fans that every time we handed out a hammering, the opposition were either understrength or out of form. Anyone with any sense should reserve judgement until after the GF.

Ridiculous thread, as ridiculous as when a few people on here floated the possibility that we were possibly the best team of the Super League era during a rush of blood last season.



Wigan are a very good team, in superb form and with a nucleus of top players who are working well together. But you can't look down that team list and say that there aren't a few players in there who could fall out of form as quickly as they got into it.



Only time will tell, but we won't do our own chances any good if we start to internalise the Phil Clarke rubbish.

You can only play as good as the other team lets you. Wigan stopped Leeds playing anything half decent and Leeds didnt do anything to stop Wigan playing the way they want to.



I woud say Wigan are a very good side, who are confident and on a rich vein of form. We was playing like this last season and got a shield for our efforst. So you cant compare them to a trophy winning side as they havent played this well at the business end of the season, like them past teams did.

IMO it will take a big effort from one of the other teams to prevent our teams contesting both finals this year. I'd be amazed if we aren't at least facing off at Wembley.

Wigan are breathtaking at the moment. I get the feeling though that if they ever lost Tomkins for a significant length of time they'd really struggle. Everything in their attack is about him. Unbelievable player. Hopefully one day he will return to his favourite club.

I think thats a very accurate assessment.
