Quote: Stand-Offish "I think you are right, many people love to see Wigan lose, possibly because they dominated rugby for so long and partly because the current set up although populated by some great players is populated by some dodgy characters with an ethos of gamesmanship.
I like Warrington, Saints and Leeds. The thought of the likes of Lima not being able to tarnish a final with his forward pass tries and his knee-attacking fills me with joy.
But then you'd disagree.'"
Well on the whole I like Lima as a player, he's a real work-horse. I thought he had a shaky start to the season but then seemed to cut out most of the poor technique. I saw the ankle twist last night though and said at the time (I was watching the game with in-laws who are Saints fans) that he should be punished for it. Whether or not this type of thing and the so-called gamesmanship is more prevalent in Wigan is the debate that's been raging all season, and yes I'd disagree with you on that. There's a very real desire for some people to see Wigan fail and, when they don't, to diminish any success they have by claiming they're cheats. I also noticed a few chicken wings on Wigan players last night, but the majority of (so-called) neutrals won't have been looking for them.
