Wiggy Wiggy what's the score? Wiggy what's the score?

Got away with it? Is it illegal to employ a 3 man tackle now?

Can you tell me when this was outlawed please?

Regards.

I love tez! he writes Leeds off every week! He said backing wire was a no brainer and they would rack up a few points against Leeds!

he said the bulls would have too much for Leeds at odslum without JP

he said there would only be one winner in the cup game and added he was convinced Wigan would do the double.

cheers tez! Keep it up!

I've heard it all now. I'm surprised you weren't calling for a ban for Joel for headbutting Senior's foot. Idiot!

Hetherington talks nonsense.
He says the administrators should change rules from being so negative.
He is the administrator in charge!
Hetherington is Chief Exec of Super League so why is he talking about others when he's referring to himself and his counterpart Super League Chairmen?
It's the SL chairmen who bring in all the negative rules so why doesn't he and they do something about it instead of suggesting it's someone else's fault.

He was also suggesting that the Leeds/Wigan game was down to one try because of negative tactics. Did he not notice it was pouring down with rain all game which affected the ball handling of both sides?

I have never really paid attention to any bias from any commentators until the last week. I was slightly skeptical and thought to be honest that most were probably just a bit paranoid. However last weekend I made sure I listened more to Kears reading into the game and was outraged by nearly everything he said. It was a shocking display and I have lost alot of respect for him. Last night on boots n all Eddie didn't bother me too much until the closing statement, you could hear the bitterness in his voice. I had to rewind it to make sure i'd heard it right.

Cheers mate.

Kears as a match comentator is a joke if we are playing. Bitter little man. Like you i have always thought wiggy a joke, but his closing comment was said in a very unpleasant way. If other presenters on SKY are seen by others as biased in our favour, its just for balance. We can hardly be blamed for who SKY decide to employ. Perhaps SKY should employ the eloquent Jamie Peacock at some future date. But i do seem to forget that we run the RFL, SKY, and are responsible for the credit crunch all to help us cheat at every possible opportunity. I do hope Seniors foot is ok after that vicious atack.

Oh the sheer ignorance of the man beggars belief. He actually is a first hand tool. Get him moved on ASAP. RL needs a strong Wigan.

Gary Hetherington said that is was Wigan on saturday that employed a 'wrestling' technique in the ruck, did he not see his own side doing the exact same? I've been told the penalty count was even, and with the score being so close, how can he say it was just us employing this tactic?

Fair play to Terry O'Connor trying to defend us, but he was fighting a losing battle. Like Terry said, we have one of the best defences, but we also have one of the best attacks, so what is this negative rugby that everyone says we are playing?

Wigan Warriors - Rugby Leagues Number One Enemy

Imagine if we actually win something, sky will be ram fooking jammed every week with people complaining

Thats incentive enough for me

Paranoid much?

You do realise that the way a team operates in defence and the way a team operates in attack are two different things don't you?

does it matter if he a warrington fan or not,simple fact is clarke is biased beyond belief,so why people on here are only calling eddie and stevo remember clarke is on the show aswell.

There are two of them with burgundy hair - Eddie and Phil Clarke - think they share a bottle of Grecian 2000 if truth be known.

Phil Clarke usually shows more bias towards Saints than us but he should have a special place in his heart for us anyway seeing as he is both a Wiganer and an ex team member

How can Clarke be so biased when he praises Saints so much. If I remember rightly I've heard him refer to them as the mighty Saints on a few occasions, you will never hear a Wigan fan let alone a biased one say that. He has a much more intelligent view on the game than any of the others in my opinion.

Save some of your outrage for next week's Boots n All thread guys! Personally, I prevent that buffoon Hemmings from upsetting me by [inot watching the programme[/i.

How can you keep up with what tint his hair is this week if you don't watch!

I'm sure the point he's making is that Wigan are being held up as an example of a negative team whilst the counter argument is that our attack is the 2nd best in the league, something that in no way can be deemed negative. Not a difficult argument to make or grasp. I don't know what point you're trying to make? You stated something obvious but for what reason?

Hetherington is an idiot, someone from the dark ages who needs to be locked up and never let near the head of RL again.

As for Hemmings, the man is an utter disgrace, he believes that his position on sky makes him a valid contributor to the shaping of the game, and his hatred of Wigan is obvious for anyone with eyes.

I couldn't agree more although I believe Kear surpassed Hemmings.

I can't understand what Hetherington is on about - I thought the Leeds - Wigan game was a very entertaining, exciting game, far far better than many 30 -20 point games where attackers just walk through the defence.

Despite the poor conditions both teams managed to put on a great display and put in some great hits in defence.

As Terry said, when he was playing the coaches instructed them to do exactly the same (holdingg he player up before completing the tackle). The key difference now is that some coaches seem to be better at getting their players to do it.

The only thing that spoiled the spectacle in my opinion was the amount of pens the referee gave. THAT is the thing that is spoiling and slowing down the game, not the extra couple of seconds taken up in holding a player up before completing the tackle.

Hetherington is so far off the mark it's ridiculous - the No1 factor in improving both qualityand the spectacle is to improve the quality and consistency of refereeing - so they let the game flow and only penalise when absolutely required. Good defence will only improve the teams need to improve their attack - this can only be a positive thing surely?

The problem we have at the moment is that if you look hard enough you can spot a penalty in almost every set of 6, we have to move away from that and take the approach of giving a pen only if;

1) is it dangerous
2) is it a deliberate act giving an obvious unfair advantage against the rules of the game

Now this requires a ref who uses sound judgement rather than hides behind the interpretation of the rules - after all, it is the refs who make a judgement as to whether a hand on the ball is stripping or whether it is a loose carry, there is no black and white about this rule.

Incidents like accidental offside should not be awarded a penalty but a scrum awarded - gaining 40 yrd and another set of 6 is too big a reward for something that is accidental.

Phil Clarke does the same with Wigan. To be honest lads, who honestly gives a bleep what Eddie or Clarke think? The league table shows you top of the league, im pretty sure your "wrestling" doesn't have much affect in the 50 point bummings you hand out. The best pundits on there are Barrie Mac and Carney by a mile.


Barrie MacDermott "SHOT".

Im sick and tired of Hetherington, Eddie, Stevo, Kear et al having a pop, its getting very very boring. Yet what frustates me more is the deafening silence from IL, its about time this man grew some stones and stuck up for this club. Since he has come into the club theres no doubt hes has done some great things but a few incidents have concerned me ie. being kicked out of our own stadium for a play off game now the current open season on having a dig at out team without so much of a whisper from our esteemed leader. I weren't a huge fan of Maurice but theres nooooo way he would have let this go on without giving as good as he got.
