The pack was good enough to get us into two finals...where the halfback's wasn't good enough to get us over the line...
This has since been addressed.

At the moment we have ourselves, Wigan, St Helens, Leeds, Hull FC, Catalan, Castleford, Huddersfield? Spending I assume full cap (or close to). The only difference in salaries paid out to players will be from teh Marquee allowances that some clubs have.

How many clubs spent the same amount on players as Wigan in the 80's?

In short, It cant be done, and wont be repeated I feel in a salary capped sport.

Did Wigan dominate the sport in the 80's?. not sure they did. 90's pre super league they did 6 CC 6 Titles all in a row, yes there record 8 CC in a row started in 88 but they only won 1 title in the 80's Widnes where the most dominant side of the 80's followed by the glory days of both Hull clubs, Widnes where nick named the Cup kings as they won so many trophies, couple CC 3 titles 1 WCC and numerous Lc regal /JPs premierships. No doubt Wigan rise to domination started back end of the 80's but there real dominance was 90-96

oh and Leeds Golden generation is at least the equal of any Wigan side from that era 8 titles in 13 seasons (plus others silverware) in a salary caped era.
Warrington will do well to win one Super league title first, never mid 3-4 or get anywere near 8, before any comparisons, and despite the ludicrous posters cockiness, if Leeds don't win it (which seems a long shot this year) i really hope its Warrington who do get finally over the line.

Well it was the 80s team.
If I'd have put 90s, you or someone else would have said 'wasn't that a 80s team'.

There was some overlap but the late 80's team say 88 cup team and say the 91-92 cup and league team was very difffernt squads, and really a very young Betts Edwards, Dean Bell around still, Ellery and Gregory and even shaun wane gone to Leeds. Itw was like 91-92 onwards when they went in to sign anything that moves overdrive, Connoly offiah Botica Tuigamala Henry Paul Skerret Andy platt world record teenage signing Nigel wright gene miles and plenty of others. ultimately that's what bankrupt them i suppose.
