That sounds interesting. What's the story behind that? |

He already posted his trolling attempt once and either deleted it or he got a beating off the mod stick. I'm hoping it was the mod stick as this might push him over the edge and get him banned for a few weeks  |

On the final whistle one of the Bradford players twisted Joe Burgess's leg. A couple of the Wigan players pointed it out to the referee, and there was a bit of pushing and shoving between a couple of players.
Cue the big Bradford #10 running in swinging punches at anyone and everyone. The Wigan players took umbrage and retaliated and it kicked off.
Seven Wigan players and two Bradford are up before the "beak" (I think it's today)
www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/discipl ... tartrow=25
The majority of the lads or on a grade B (1 - 3) but George Williams is on grade D (3 to 5) and the lad who started in all is on a grade E which carries a 4 to 8 game ban.
The strange thing was that one of the Bradford players who had been substituted came running onto the field to get involved and he appears to have got away with it.
Youthful exuberance eh.   |

How was it trolling when it's on topic discussing next weeks game, and I don't know how it got deleted. |

Saints are a fabulous side chock full of grit and guts, skill and a real belief in the pride of the red V. If Wigan get battered by Saints Wane should be carried shoulder high through Wigan town centre, and offered a ten year extension on his contract.
Well you started it!!! |

Would you see this as a game that could kick start your season?
You've had your issues but Wigan's minds might be drifting towards the cup a little and our form hasn't been great.

The usual with Wigan. As with the first team, against who Francis Cummins complained to the RFL, Wigan's players spent the game trying to snap knee joints with drives at standing players' knees. The 'technique' is called 'snapping the pole' at Wigan.
Bradford got so sick of the referee doing nothing about it that they gave one back at the end, which unleashed the frustration that had been building. Unsurprisingly it was Wigan with the superior aggression and they ended up with half their side up before the disciplinary commitee.
This tackling technique HAS to be outlawed soon. It injures far more players than shoulder charges ever did. It is really disappointing that Wigan are doing it at Under 19 level, serious risk of careers being over before they've really started. |

What you've got to realise is, we're pretty .
Not only do we have some key weaknesses in our squad, but they are so dramatic that they conspire to make us less than the sum of our parts.
Brown is clearly using this season as an oppotunity to experiment with every single variable imaginable and has failed to instill any sort of passion or desire into our current squad, who must only be looking at next season as the start [iproper[/i. We were marginally better when we had robes back to Marshall the pack, but now we're goosed and will limp home, hoping to scrounge 8th place. |

Is your use of capitalisation a hint as to a new signing?  |

That may or may not be the case.
However, Bradford fans acknowledge that Cummins was trying to deflect from his team's defeat after being in front 18-4 with under 20 mins to go.
Never understood the "standing leg" theory. If a player is carrying the ball and drives into the tackle taking two players with him why should he not be expected to be tackled around the legs to bring him to the floor?
A player can't be running and have a "standing" leg at the same time.
Standing means being stationary, obviously, so if the practice is that dangerous as many say surely it has to be re-named or something? Maybe the "supporting leg". That makes more sense to me and perhaps explains it better for people like me who began to think they were talking in contradictions.
