Warrington Wolves • Warrington 2020's vs Wigan 1980's
Wigan dominated, as they never had a CONSISTENT rival from the start of their domination, which started (imo) the moment they poached Andy Gregory from us. The wheels were set in motion, a couple of years, previously. To think, they were MASSIVELY linked with Mike Greg, too.
Saints. Permanent bridesmaids. Showed promise, but never enough to keep regular pressure.
Bradford. Great season, then go off a bit. Come back again a year or so later, repeat.
Widnes. Great, from 88 till the money ran out, early-ish 90'sDavies, Morriarty, Devereaux, Hadley??, Tait, Offiah saw to that. Yes, the got £400,000+ for Offiah, but their wages killed them.
Leeds, a laughing stock. Threw money around like confetti, akin to Newcastle's football side. Like Newcastle, they won nowt.
Us. Gregory leaving stopped us in our tracks. We had the best pack in the league by miles. Yes, Keith Holden was class, but it's like comparing a 5 series BMW to a top of the range Bentley. It took our Welsh contingent from 1990, three years to FULLY adapt, and for us to start threatening seriously.
