Berk.

Phipps doesn't actually support any RL team.

It's just part of his therapy to 'enjoy' some social interaction.

so you've met all the residents of leigh have you? sweeping generalisation muppetry of the highest order!

I just can't see Wigan giving us too many problems. We'll blow the 'Warriors' away in the first 20 minutes and then it will be hilarious to see what lame excuses their deluded fans and 2nd rate coach come up with when they are dumped out of the Cup.

Come tommorow evening,the Challenge Cup will be of no concern to the hapless Pies and they will be free to concentrate on the Super League.....not that they'll be winning it,of co.

Bookmarked.

I wouldn't bother, he's not even a Wire supporter. Just a troll.

Waste of hard disk space. WireWonder has to be one of the biggest imbeciles on all of the RLFans boards.

Feka is backing Wigan as on Twitter he said he's just had a pie and some Uncle Joe's.
I'm quite shocked by that, I mean a pie as in singular?

Looking forward to this game more than any yet so far this season – hope its a cracker (pity its not on BBC1 though)

Expect a close game and I have a feeling Wigan will sneak it

What difference does it make whether it's on BBC1 or BBC2?

You've got to give the advantage to Wigan with Wire missing Briers, his main asset is how quickly he shifts the ball and spreads play and Wire's two halfbacks today won't be as effective doing this.

Should still be a war though, I can't wait.

Unfortunately (despite the digital age and the fact that everybody has a remote control next to them etc) the audience for BBC2 is less than BBC1 for like for like programmes and I think this game will be a great showcase for for our sport

But surely if you want to watch rugby league or just sport you press the button on your remote and put BBC2 on. I've never really got the big deal with which terrestrial BBC channel it's on.

Despite being advertised as providing live commentary on BBC Radio 5, they're live at the horse racing. Radio Manchester it is then.

I AM JOHN KEAR AND I KEEP SHOUTING! ARGH!

ffs.

Garbage defence from Warrington.

12-0

cant say i like either team, but i am enjoying wigan shut these arrogant wire fans up!

Hair Bear Bunch into touch. Massive deeeeefence.

Reckon the Sam Tomkins thread will push 60 pages at this rate

ref waved play on then referred it to the video ref!! has to be a try!

John Kear is articulate and passionate about Rugby League, always talking the plays and the skills of the game up rather than find controversy everywhere - he will do for me

A agree, and RL fans will be watching the game but the facts are that we have caught more casual viewers for what is a great game with it being on BBC1

Shouldnt have been given, Blythe put his hand on Carmonts back.

I've said all year that Warrington dont have the heart when it gets tough and that they wont win anything as a result. I am being proved right here.

People flick through. I've just watched a Martin Lawrence film cos I was flicking through the channels and I fancied emptying my brain for an hour and half befgore the rugby.

Don't let up Wigan. More pressure and keep them on the back foot. King and Myler look low on confidence.
