| I believe at one point that Warrington were rumoured to be contemplating Warrington Sharks when there were loose talks of a tie-up with Sale RU.

No he wasn't, he just named the teams that weren't animals. Nothing awkward about it.

No, the original point was that since the intro of SL that each team adopted an animal or figure to go with their team, and someone pointed out the teams without animals, yet i pointed out that although they didn't have animals they had adopted something else instead. It's that simple.
You say that i may as well have told you what i had for dinner, but your post about those not being animals was just another you have made to add an extra post to the inane drivel you usually give us.

Do you all "pull your own wire", in Warrington ?
or do you prefer to let someone else "pull your wire" ?
Just thought I'd ask

Don't be rude. I'm not gonna argue with you. I just didn't think you had contributed anything. Never mind.

How is my post challenging your post any ruder than you interrupting a conversation between other people?
Are you always so quick to assume the high and mighty position when you realise you're wrong?
Also, it's not just me that can see how pointless YOUR post was, hence Mark's post.

Not to highlight myself as what you called me in this post; I do feel the need to ask if you know what the word forum means? I'll give you 5 mins to find a dictionary and look it up.
Okay? See it wasn't a conversation. That is what pm is for. Any way, if you felt I was rude I apologise. I obviously found your post hazey and poorly constructed. If not I wouldn't have corrected you. Fair?

And i ask you again, what did it have to do with you? She made a point, i countered it with another, you took dislike to it, and i called you on it. Then you jumped on your horse and are now trying to get higher and higher on that horse before realising how pathetic it was of you to make your comment in the first place.
Also as you were so quick to point out, this is a forum not an english exam, so why would the hazy construction of my post be of importance. That is not what your original problem with it was, it followed on from a post before, which you overlooked, so i highlighted, and then all of a sudden you became defensive and decided to criticise the post. Here's a tip for the future, if you don't want people to respond, then don't post.

| I'll just point out I didn't dislike what you said (until you resorted to insulting me personally) I was just questioning what your point was. As I said originally, someone said all super league teams had animals in the name,then someone countered it and then you said what the names of wigan, salford, hudds and salford were.
I still don't understand what your point was. Either way I don't care. You have become very defensive yourself though. I thought I was being helpful and you respond with insults and sarcasm.
(Mark, I wasn't implying anything was awkward. I was,kt trying to be a smart arris, I promoise.)
Shall we call an end to it? I probably won't respond again to this childishness either way.

Once again, i haven't insulted you at all. So chill your beans. Secondly, rather than reading one post of mine and making judgement on it, see what else i had posted in the thread and you will fully understand the relevance and save us all of this hassle. Once again, i hope this reaches you on your high horse because my god you have something unsettling you.
Add to that:
Nevermind, i can't be bothered at all. You read my post wrong and that is the end of it. Done.

The word giant has many meanings, in this context though, i would assume it means a loving massive person. People are animals, so therefore giants are animals.

Very similar to Wigan originally being the Colliers due to the amount of coal mining there used to be. Personally, I much prefer 'Wire' to 'Wolves.''"
Ditto !!! wolves has still got a nice ring to it though

For next season, add the Vikings, who replace the Crusaders. Both a bunch of animals.

| When stood on the terraces I never hear the word wolves mentioned. I think we have the balance right. The club can market us as the wolves and we get the benefits from that, yet the fans "own" the wires thing and keep it alive through our dialect when talking about rugby and singing on the terraces.
That's something that won't die and I like that.

I couldn't agree more, the fans have kept our roots, the likes of Wigan have also done this and i'm sure Saints fans won't change even though they are being rebranded to the Saints RLFC.
