definately prefer the english language definition of champions as opposed to yours.





Thanks for the effort tho, it's appreciated

p.s. why does anyone care what we call ourselves?

To get this back on track a little, half a second is one hell of a difference when someone's running flat out, probably around four or five metres, which is a lot when you're the one doing the chasing.

Players tend to run slower when carrying a ball though.

it is a big difference. I used to sprint and half a second is huge.

what's more important in rugby is the first 5 -30 yards if you can pull a yard or two over that distance, even if the chasing player is slightly faster you will have the advantage on a clear run.

also the first 5-30 yards is more useful, more often in rugby.

bit like a highly strung turbo engine vs a big V8

as regards the sprint race , Ben jones bishop, jodie broughton , reece evans the hull player , did not play a single game, where as Ryan king played 2 games prior to the race. Something not quite right there if you ask me

this is the kind of thing that gets us laughed at, just stop it

why? it is actualy true ,

Yes, but it comes across as a bit desperate, clutching at straws etc.

not clutching at straws whatsoever , just pointing out the facts, note the first 3 did not compete in any games, i prefere a level playing field personaly

Nah it was unfair tbf if he had played not long before but at the end of the day it doesnt matter its what he does on a pitch that matters. Dwain Chambers would have outrun pretty much any player in SL but he was no good at rugby he didnt have the basic skill required so pure speed isnt everything. It just would have been nice to win that haha

The 'fastest man in rugby league' was a sideshow at the end of the day. If you ask Salford fans, I'd imagine most of them would rather have won the 9s than have the fastest player in the game in their squad. Have you seen the size of the trophy?

yeh but the grand that goes with it is a nice prise to one of the young lads who are paid an absolute pittance

sour grapes of the highest order

Also though, another way to look at it would be that the wigan lad had been properly warmed and loosened up whilst the others tht didnt play were not. Either way its not really a big deal.

Brilliant.



Wigan the very definition of "Champions".

Thanks for that.

Mate its just to annoy you and you bite every time lol.

This is where Wire fans are so far behind the rest of RL's fans everyone else knows when its a joke and has a laugh and a bit of banter where a lot of Wire fans take it too seriously.

I will probably get a few "no mate we're serious" from Wigan fans but I know as well as they do that theyre having a laugh with me then.

reading this thread has made me sad

why cant we all just get along......

Insecure Dire and Wigan fans in embarrassment shocker.

He is already getting plaudits in the U20s.

nice try, covering up your teams smug fest from last year.

bite ? me ? maybe.

annoyed me ? why would i be annoyed?

I meant the calling you up every time you call yourselves champions not cup winners.

you picked out one word to try and be clever and / or funny?



you're not very bright are you.

try reading the definition properly, if you have any more trouble understanding it let me know.

Agreed. Why is there always dick measuring contests between Wigan and Wire fans? Reading some of these comments are cringeworthy from both sets of fans. Grip needed.
