If you been at the 08 World Cup in Oz when Wigan supporters far outnumbered those from any other team, you wouldn't come out with that drivel

Its easy to be judgemental of others when Wigan is now becoming successful when Cas has no chance of winning a trophy in the next Ice age or 4

As I said, 40k would be a good attendance but would still look diabolical on national TV.

Personally internationals dont interest me at all, im the same with football, but thats just me.

If Sam is boo'd at Wembley it will be a disgrace and if i was him id stick 2 fingers up to international rugby all together, i dont think people from other clubs will be happy until he goes to union and then they will have a pop at Wigan for not being able to keep him.

So you've changed your mind. It wont be 80% empty? Just to be clear.

I'm going all the way to London to boo Tomkins. So if you hear on your tellys a load of people all booing him them I'll be the one booing him 'ironically'. Just like you lot do.

I've been on 2 tours down under & supported every tour here for 30 years. I would say Hull FC take the most consistently to internationals, but Wigan are up there. Doesn't excuse the stupidity of the rest though.

At what point did I change my mind?


What you doing on here anyway? Still foaming at the mouth because we cheated and sent you slumming it for a year?

Quality stuff. Thank you for confirming my opinion of so many on here. I support RL first, Cas second. When you leave school you might appreciate the importance.

So the bet is on? £100 says it will be >20,000.



Having fun. WTF has it to do with you?



Nope. Your true colours are beautiful, like a rainbow.

Maybe McNamara can get Luke O'Donnell in to replace him

I hate getting into willy measuring contest BUT I went to last years 4 nations and without doubt the majority of England fans there were Wiganers. It was probably easier to tell as there only around 1K- 1.5k on all tours but in both Melbourne and Auckland and even the final in Brisbane around 50% came from Wigan.

As coach, couldn't do much worse.

why have the last 2 pages drifted off topic?

if Lockers is going to miss the start of next season...thats another headache for IL and SW
Joel to 13 anyone?

Joel will be changing his name to Jim at this rate

Im just hoping that it all goes well and he will be back. It must be real bad if its gonna keep him out so long?

I'll be amazed if there's 20k actually.

They talk about the Rugby League 'family'. Maybe that's what people want. I don't. Families are small groups of people. I want a growing sport. By which I mean more people watching it. Don't care where they are. If they put something in the drinking water of Skegness and found it could suddenly support 7 superleague teams, fine, have 7 teams in Skegness. Doesn't matter. 'Expand' the game where there's people that want to watch it. And PLAY the international game where there's people that want to watch it.

That ain't London (at the moment). People will ( just about, provided its Wigan or Leeds ) go to watch their club at Wembley, but few can be a***ed to watch a made-up team ( England - it should be GB) get walloped by the Aussies.

Back in the day...when the acheivements of Wigan, on and off the field, could get a little bit of decent national press from time to time, you could get a reasonable number of interested southerners to turn up at Wembley for internationals ( I once took 3 with me ).

Rugby League (outside Wigan) has decided that it despises Wigan. We have hysterical nonsense about career-ending tackles (which remarkably never seem to end careers) and hysterical Sam-bashing based on the idea that this apparently humble guy thinks he's the world's best player ever ( when he's never said anything like that - in fact always the opposite).

League despises Wigan because you can swap the word 'family', for a more accurate alternative - 'small-minded'.

Wigan is the only club with the presence and fan-base to lead RL into a bright future. The RFL and the rest of the game should be saying "Thank You" to Wigan. "Thanks for your fans, Thanks for your town supplying by FAR the highest number of great players (per population) than anywhere else in the country". " Thank you for being the last glimmering light of any National press coverage". "Thanks you for not just giving up and converting to Union in the face of constant sniping from the game itself and the pair of idiots that represent the game on TV".

But they won't. League thinks small and will remain small. Only one club can lead the game onto bigger things, but rather than embrace that, they'd rather run us down as 'ruining the sport'. Love to see what state the sport would be in without Wigan. Then the morons might understand what a 'ruined' sport looks like.

Heighington will be 13 if Lockers is injured imo, probably the reason he was brought in if McBanana was aware of this.

Your definately a "Its not about winning, its about taking part" kind of person arent you, which is hardly suprising supporting Castleford.

Of course he was aware of it. Some of us knew about it so I'm sure he did.

Actually there is very little in life I want more than an Ashes series victory. I really couldn't give a flying feck who wins SL or the GF as long as RL is successful. I would like Cas to win it but I accpeted a long time ago it is unlikely. Failing that there are a number of teams I would prefer to win. I will be supporting one of them on Saturday. If they lose I will be pleased for the other team when I get over the temporary disappointment. I would sacrifice seeing my team ever win anything again for an Ashes series.

So, is the £100 bet on? Come on, man up.

Yeah no probs, il just PM you my bank details now.

This is McNamara we're talking about here though!

Agree.
I've seen Wigan win more trophies than most other clubs have in their entire history, but I want us to win a Ashes series more than anything else.

He's any way doesn't deserve to play. Most overrated player in sl
