actually a good friend of mine is David Smith, Mark Smith's brother, numbnuts. and i actually follow rugby outside of the rose-tinted glasses of wigan rl too unlike most of us.

Probably because Wigan have abit of class and dont want bickering through the press making a mockery of the game, pity the England captain cant keep his mouth shut and leave whats going to be a nervy tough battle to the 34 players on the pitch on saturday.

Which one's the numbnuts, David or Mark?

David Smith was a pretty decent winger, although probably not that one.

If only I could recall which side Leeds signed him from.

Google away.

like cheating the cap to avoid relegation?

or having a lying chairman who insisted radlinski played for free, until the published accounts proved him a liar.

gareth 'druggie' hock.

maurice lindsey, the most corrupt person in RL

I was referring to your age, not your IQ. Then again, that is probably why you can't grasp the hypocracy of castigating Leeds for whinging and gamesmanship, when your own club virtually invented both.

Jog on.............

Amazing the recuperative powers of a lie down in a darkened room, eh pumpkin?

Your avatar could do with changing though. Feel free.....

What's the story there? IIRC, Radlinski's autobiography said he played for free too.

He didn't. It was in the club accounts. Sure someone can dredge them up

Why are wigan fans so bothered about what the leeds players are saying?

you seem so c*ck sure your players ''will do their talking on the field'' what's the problem?

All that's happened is McClennan has criticised a sky commentators article, and peacock who didn't, and won't be playing criticised the actions of a couple of wigan players.

wow, whoopdy f*cking doo.

Why are leeds saying this stuff? They are creating a siege mentality. When theres not much pressure on a team they tend to be more outspoken in the press. A team who is favourites will rarely want to say anything too close to the egde.

If anything wigans silence is a sign of pressure. They are feeling the pressure and don't want to add anymore by speaking to the press, who will twist things and create headlines. ''confident wigan ready to halt rhinos run'' etc etc.

It's all bullsh*T anyway. As soon as that hooter goes it's about 13 v 13 on the field and all this will mean eff all.

If the official accounts broke out expense player by player, that will be a first.

I'll Await those with interest!

if any fan's team won a game or trophy and it ended up proven it was via cheating or gamesmanship or whatever, they wouldn't ask for the trophy or the two points or the next rounds tie to be given back would they? get real.

whats in the past is the past and i don't live in the past giving it all oh we have the most trophy wins etc etc - for one, i was only a kid then and i didn't really follow the sport that much then nor understand it anyway. my comments on this thread have strictly been with regards to the game at the DW a fortnight ago which it seems none of you have still grasped.

So by your very own statement you DO live in the past and you STILL don't understand the game!
Here's a tip look up the word contradiction in the dictionary!

David never played rugby, i worked with him in Ashton in an office job. I met Mark through knowing David, so yeah i've generally followed Marks career through knowing Dave since mark played for Wigan.

funny how you tried to catch me out, yet again FAILED

you leeds geezers just keep on coming this week don't you
