Once again, going in the wrong direction.
The problem SL's forwards have been having this season are head high tackles with two of our best, Graham and Morley, suffering particularly badly.
Wigan's two worst game for this were v HullFC.
The game at the DW was a thug a thon with Manu leading the way followed by Yeaman. Three brawls, no action from Ganson for 70 mins then, rightly, sending off Joel Tomkins. The game at the KC, three Wigan forwards sent from the field due to blood pouring down their faces from head tackles. All three needing stitches.
The RFL/SL has just got it wrong. No one has been hurt with three or four man tackles. Numerous players have been hurt and damaged this year by head high tackles. Let's hope something is done for next season.

you can only play whats in front of you. End the day he won two major trophies in two years and there not spoiling tactics its very clever tactics. it proves one thing know if they race into leads and hang on that they have a good defence.

You lost. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

If theres one good thing m****re has done it's build wigan fans up and give them delusions of grandeur, only for them to be crashed back down and dissapointed.

Over the last 2 years the level of disrespect they have shown to saints and leeds acheivements is astounding. It's why the final this year is so fitting. You don't hear any pundits or officials bemoaning the loss of m****re do you? He can take his tactics and his receeding hairline and feck right off.

Wigan have used spoiling tactics to suffocate the opposition, before using systematic well drilled attacking lines and patterns to post points.

Rugby by it's very nature lends itself to flair and unpredictability in attack, something leeds and saints thrive off. Wigans patterns of attack are predictable and repetitive, but systematic in their nature hard to counteract. However it seems this year they have been worked out.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

good point but you do realise hoffman and coley are amongst the worst offenders for head shirts

Jeeze you get less grief upsetting the scientology lot.

61.32 roby third man in, not much in it.62.44 shenton third man in worse than roby's.Don,t start whingeing you asked for times and got them.One other thing why was wellens waving his arms around again when the ball hit the post padding.Both the above where on lima.

Because the ref got the decision wrong again.

He hadn't made a decision,he went to the screen.

No, he did. He gave a drop out and was advised to go to the screen by whoever was talking in his ear. He whistled for the drop out, then you could see him obviously listening to his ear piece and then he went for the screen.

Don't know why because he had a decent view of the incident.

Must of been real lucky then to win @ warrington and beat St Helens on the way to wembley. While Leeds did play well and could of won it, to say Wigan were lucky is absurd considering who they beat and the way they won those games on the way to wembley.

Wigan were and are a myth.

No they are not. They just play hard. If they are playing outside the rules then it is up to the officials to give them the appropriate punishment during and after the game. They also won a GF. By the way iam not a Wigan supporter.

How does that make you feel?

Mmm good sports the lot of them, Maguire really drove that home didn't he.

Now, who was that set of players who failed to give Rangi Chase a round of applause when he won man of steel?

Not Wigan. Take a look at the clip from the Man of Steel video, you can clearly see them clapping.

Well Gary, it seems someone believes your lies.

Alternatively, as Douglas Adams reminded us, "If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands."

I had you pegged as a better man that bitter man - so I'm sensing an apology from you??

more of a busted flush methinks

They weren't busted at Wembley.
Now who did they beat?

Thank you.

So, for all the sheep who are bleating about MM and Wigan threatening the rest of SL with extinction while they are playing tick pass.

Here are two examples n the space of 3mins of 3rd man in attacking the legs of a player.

I'm sure they weren't doing it with 'intent' though - whatever that's supposed to mean, or it wasn't dangerous because they aren't wigan players and they haven't signed a pact with the devil, etc.

I'm sure they weren't at all comparable to the other incidents we've mentioned either.

This whole thread is based on a farcical view.

Saddened writes as much fiction as J.K. Rowling but isn't the only RLFans member dedicated to another club and an anti-Wigan agenda. Christ, there's hundreds.

If a player gets injured in the tackle and Wigan are the defending team it is always; "Wigan dirty tackling", "Malicious", "Horrible technique", "Maguire is a cancer" etc.

If a Wigan player gets injured in the tackle and another side are the defending team it goes something like; "players get injured from legitimate tackles".

The second quote I use might not be from Saddened but I have seen it written on RLFans. It is a view that is blinkered and biased. It saddens me.
