What do these whingers want? 40-30 scorelines all the time?

To me, those types of matches are much more boring than one which sees defences being tough to break down and an act of brilliance proving to be the match winner or at least a key to unlocking the defence. It's called earning your points instead being gifted them with easy yards from dummy half. How about if the RFL change the rules yet again so we have to get back 20m instead of 10m?

it's just downright bizarre.

Rugby League is a tough sport. It shouldn't be easy to make metres and score points.

Just like the early 90's.

The normal status quo is restored. Wigan vs the rest of RL, just as it should be.




On this issue, Madge has instructed Wigan to play to the rules, and done it very very well.

If the RL wants Wigan to change tactics then change the rules. If it doesn't then shut up and stop whinging.

Simple (not Simples).

Wigan, the martyrs of Rugby League. Ladies and Gents pick up your crossess and kindly make your way out of the arena!

Someone may correct me on this, but I don't recall Madge ever making such comments about an opposing side or coach?

Aaah we might chicken-wing every bugger on the pitch, bore the cr-p out of everyone, smash the salary cap, have players who cling on in the tackle - but at least we do it with dignity.

Great to hear the opposition are getting so worried about Wigan again. Coaches cant find a way to stop us, so try to influence the game before its played.

If we were so boring how come we scored 197 more points than you last season and scored superb tries like Joel Tomkins v Wire, some of Amos Roberts' crackers before his injury, Sam Tomkins v Huddersfield to name but a few.

Oh and beat Leeds Rhinos 3 times on the way to Old Trafford fair and square.

I had a massive laugh at the bitterness in this post for a few minutes but then I wondered if you were taking the . You are on a wind up aren't you?

Don't suppose there is any chance of you picking up your keyboard and making your way out of this area?

Simply telling it as it is Rodney. And to be honest,wetting myself at the massive collective attack of the vapours from pieland. Gawd, a chemist stocking smelling salts in Wigoon could be onto a nice little earner as you almost match the Bulls fans for paranoia!

The 2 match ban on Lima is a very big hint from Redhall to amend your dubious ways.

Feed the hate Billy

Not why your pitiful whinging posts make me so happy

Amend our dubious ways?

You have the king of cheap shots in Ryan Bailey. He'll give it out to our small lads like Goulding and Sam, but he wont go near Lima or Joel etc.

Just like last year in that game away at Hull FC, Bailey got a bit back of a big lad and we didnt see him again for the rest of the game.

Basically people are saying because we won, we must of cheated

For the avoidance of doubt for the s.

Not one single Wigan player was charged (never mind banned) during the whole of last season because of any of the "wrestling" tactics people are whinging about - chicken wing, choke or grapple.

The defence rests its case.

(Posted this on the VT also)

Perhaps someone should point the numpty in the direction of the OPTA fairplay team of the week.

It contains 3 Wigan "thugs" and only 1 Bradford player.

Pretty credible company are OPTA, it might be worth paying attention to what they have to say?

Let he who is without sin..........

You don't expect sensible logic and irrefutable evidence to shut the hoards up do you?!?

Cracking thread




I love a game of spot the bitter turd.

Much like the pitiful whingeing of the likes of Potter, Agar, Hetherington, Kear, etc etc etc



Let the fans grumble. But when it comes to showing the game how club officials [ushould[/u respond to crises, Wigan are streets ahead of the rest.

Just like the good old days.... Everybody hates us.... LOVE IT!!

But can you give examples of these dubious ways? Please list the offences Wigan made last season that other teams didn't make. If being 'rougher, tougher and more skilful' (quote Waney) is an offence then it is a sad day for rugby league.

Lima did wrong and is paying the price. Wigan haven't appealed thus suggesting that the club doesn't condone his actions. In fact I don't recall a single appeal last year from the club... just dignified silence. But some clubs won't know much about that will they?

chemists in wigan sell lemsip and pies, not smelling salts. You stick to your Harvey-Nicks and alternative therapy pal. We'll concentrate on playing rugby.

Do you know Cruncher, I'll give you that one. I have been very impressed with the way Maguire conducts himself and the intelligent insights he brings. Good catch that one.
