| Bitter.. much?
What about Sam Tomkins? Most exciting player in years, is he not? Certainly likes a good whine, the lad.

| Super League and summer rugby has destroyed the game both at league and international level, it has grown more boring year on year, it is getting to the point that sometimes i can't be d with it, up until around 2000 i watched every game i could even taped the games that where on when was at matches, now only really bother with Wigan games and the playoffs/finals/CC.

Just my opinion.'"
Last few years I have not watched the NL due to it being boring and not as good as superleague, same with NRL but now I would prefer to watch NL or NRL.

| The games aren't as of high quality, its now a joke. No forwards have any ball skill... they're just big.
The backs have no major skill, just some pace. Sometimes a combination of the two.
What I think is the major difference: Nobody has the WOW factor anymore. Nobody in SL with the cap has players that amaze the crowds. People even say Long is the best 7 in SL, get real? Lam ran rings around Long. Hell even Willie Peters did!
SL now is a joke, I'd rather go down to my local amateur club and see some quality matches.

| I also think that the 'interchanges' should revert back to 4 or 6 changes. 12 changes means that you can always have fresh forwards on the field. Reducing the number would mean that fatigue, time and space would come back to the game.

I work with a bloke, from Macclesfield which is a million miles from rugby league counrty, he is a die hard Wigan fan and you know why, he watched Wigan v Bath at Maine Road in 1996 and he was hooked from that moment.
Qulaity sides like that may win evrything but it attracts fans from outside the traditional boundries of rugby league fans, Im not saying let us win everything again just let us spend what we earn, reward success on and off the field!!!!!

No mate, but enjoy winning your cup final. We've enjoyed winning plenty real ones
I used to watch or sky+ every game. Now, if I'm doing something else, I don't bother

is this a bit of when folk said the world cup was poor but hadnt watched any of it?
i watched every WC ghame and thought it was cracking.
i listen to every game i can on the radio and any stream i can get online. ok there's some tosh but it's still the best sport in the world.

We have to get to the cup final first. Salford will be fancying their chances too, now.
I noticed the sparsity of fans in the Wigan end tonight, seems a few of your mates felt the same.

It's the least interesting rugby I've seen in 40 years of watching, it's dull. I don't remember any breaks from wigan tonight.

Given there were only just over 10k in total there, it's not the Wigan support you should be whining about. Pathetic turnout for your big game

It is funny especially the comments by Stevo and John Kear that Warrington have finally stepped up to the mark (even though they nearly always beat Wigan at the HJ) and other clubs will be looking over their shoulders after that performance........no, they won't.
Warrington were not good tonight just like Huddersfield (another 'potential title challenger') were poor against us.
The problem is we are even worse and is down to the fact that defence wins games and nobody can attack - the difference between us and Wire tonight was they had Lee Briers who can kick and pass a ball and our half backs were gash.

| Two words.
Communist Cap.
Many of us have warned this would happen.
It is happening now.
Get used to it, for it will get worse.
Sad day when I have to watch RU for glimpses of genuine talent.

| Nothing typifies Wigan arrogance more than this thread.
There are some outstanding players in Super League at the moment. James Graham is one of the best prop forwards I have ever seen insofar as an all-round game is concerned, and in people like McGuire, Gidley, Burrows, Long, and Pryce there are players that would compare equally as well with any of the games greats of old.
What you mean is that because you are seeing dross in a Wigan shirt, the game must be poor. Wake up. The game has moved on from your one good period at the end of the eighties. Isn't it a about time you did?
Ancient? Yes, in that you live in the past. Loyal? Not much evidence of that.
