I see seven Wigan players played at U18 level France on Wednesday and by all accounts did their country and town proud in their 40 points to 16 victory
Three Wigan players will play tomorrow v France all from the famous Wigan St. Pats amateur club.
I can’t help but notice the lack of Wigan born players in the fussball World Cup.
And don’t argue about viewing figures, Britains got talent attracted millions of viewers, it doesn’t mean that what’s on view is good.Another myth, they say its a rugby town but looking at all the flags hanging out of windows, I would disagree, cant see the same happening for a rugby world cup, :o
Also it seems they have to move the biggest bestest derby in the world because of some poxy football match going on :roll: :lol: [/quote]
On Rock Fm, which is in Preston, blowing on saying the two biggest rugby league clubs in the World.by any chance could our lodgers not go and camp their @rses at Deepdale. It would be local for most of their peanut huggers. :roll: :roll: :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:Firstly Rogues Gallery, the thread was about where Wigan Warriors FANS come from, nothing to do with where the players come from but seeing as you were unable to respond with any sort of defence on that argument, let’s take a look at the irrelevant point that you have decided to bring out into this forum
So here is the squad in full.
England Academy: Matthew Russell (Wigan Warriors); Ryan King (Wigan Warriors), Tom Makinson (capt, St Helens), Iain Thornley (Wigan Warriors), Jack Murphy (Wigan Warriors); Cain Southernwood (Bradford Bulls), Sam Powell (Wigan Warriors); George Burgess (Bradford Bulls), Adam Milner (Castleford Tigers), Carl Forster (St Helens) Danny Bridge(Wigan Warriors), Jared Stewart (Leeds Rhinos), James Laithwaite (Warrington Wolves). Interchange Adam O`Brien (Bradford Bulls), Ryan Shaw (Warrington Wolves), Brad Singleton (Leeds Rhinos), Greg Burke (Wigan Warriors)
I think “WN/WA postcodes and part of West Yorkshire” would be more appropriate as to call it an M62 corridor teams suggests representation from the likes of Liverpool, Manchester etc
To call this representative of England implies that there are hundreds of thousands of 17 year old Geordies, Brummies, Bristolians, Londoners, East Midland folk, East Anglians, Devonians, and Home Counties kids sat at home crying in their Paramatta kits because they didn’t make this elite cut “ooh if only we were from Wigan, I’m really envious of their rugby league skills”‘ when in reality it warrants the same level of interest as lacrosse, softball or cheese rolling in most areas of the country.
All this tells us is that are a disproportionate number of Wiganers in a team playing a joke sport which 99% of this country (and the world ignores)
I would say that is a source of intense embarassment to the sport of RL in general rather than any local pride that there is such a narrow gene pool to call upon to play this that deadheads like you keep telling us is so wonderful.
It’s not and you’ve just proved it and got egg all your face again
Get over it fatboy :lol:
When I’ve had a pint after work in Liverpool on a Friday there’s always 2 mile queues coming off the M58 and it was the same a few years ago when I worked in Warrington coming through Marus Bridge.You do realise there isn’t a game every Friday don’t you?The queues could be people in a similar position to you ie returning home from work.
I see an outstanding Wigan talent in Sam Tomkins scored four tries against the French tonight.
I also noted there were no Wigan youngsters in the England foosball team that failed to beat America.Do they play foosbal in America, they really don’t care about it.
When did a Wigan born player last play for England at foosball?
I know Peggy Melling, but she was from Billinge.How come we can produce Rugby players (both codes) athletes and swimmers or do they just swim up the Leeds Liverpool canal or run along the A58?

Scholes, St. Pats .
There are three players in that team that are not from anywhere near Wigan, Leeds, Liverpool or Hull.
Do some research.How many Wigan born players have EVER played for England at football?

Just a couple more and we will have the full set :lol: :lol: :lol:
Absolutely pathetic today. How anyone would feel the need to slag off another club during an international is beyond me. People wonder why some of our top talent go to RU, well, it’s because small minded idiots like you won’t let our game flourish internationally. You are more than happy in your little local bubble and to hell with anything else. Well F**k you lot singing the anti Wigan songs today. Don’t ever turn up to another England international again. Also those who retaliated and sang anti Saints/Wire songs, the same goes for you. There was no need, it ruined the day. If you cannot get behind the team – regardless of what club they place for, stay the hell away from future
Family game indeed :mrgreen:
Just a couple more and we will have the full set :lol: :lol: :lol:That’ll be a big, fat, zero then.
Import Athletic FC.
Snag ……… hang on caught this once :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Throws it back in the water :lol: :lol:
