IMHO you can only truly judge this team once they have some history - yes we think of Saints 2006 as one of the best but how will Wigan's team appear looking back in, say, 4 years time?
Hopefully something like:
Wigan appear in their 3 Grand Final in 5 years with the best 3/4 line for years the Thornley/Gelling and Goulding/Charnley combinations cutting teams open. Their awesome front row of Flower/Crosby/Powell/Taylor is hard to stop and with Hampshire rotating with the returning veteran Tompkins?'"
The effects of the lure of the NRL money should not be discounted before getting hopes too high, something Stains and Leeds did not have to contend with. Context is all when looking at stats and hopes.
