| It's not a question of what you say, it's often a cse of the way in which it is said.
I too fully agree with all being able to contribute; when that comes down to unwarranted insults, childish comments etc, then I have a problem.
Chaqu'un a son gout so they say.........

| I though Wire played quite well and would of beat every other super league side but Wigan play in spells when they suffocate you when you have the ball and create gaps when they have it. They control the PTB better than anyside I've seen and that wins them penalties or allows the AHB to get easy yards whilst your blowing out of your backsides trying to get back.
If you can stay in the game after the first 25 mins and try to expose Charnleys poor defence And then win the floor on contact you may have a chance but they are good to watch in defence and attack

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"I've never denied its effectiveness. It's just so predictable to watch. Predictable equates to boring in my book of personal preferences. And we haven't even touched on their three man in tackling technique (which does have the bonus of knackering them, leaving a window of opportunity for the teams who are awake).'"
Another pathetic response.
It's that predictable that not many teams can stop it, they are current champions, they are top of the league and in the semi of the challenge cup. If that's from playing predictable rugby then all the other coaches and players ain't doing their jobs right.
They might use the same moves but it's the runners that gives them options that's causing the defending team problems.
It's the same With roby, every man and his dog knows he's going to run from acting half and teams will work on trying to stop this but not many can, it's predictable but effective just like wigans play.
In other words my ex sweetie, it works!
I find it strange you say all tomkins does is his jinking run, that's some jinking run that teams can't stop! It's like saying all Paul newlove did was step off his left, all Martin offiah did was run round people etc

Some of warringtons tackling was shocking at times, especially carvel who missed two tackle which lead to Wigan scoring twice.
If Warrington want to be real contenders for the grand final they need handle being under pressure in defence. They fell apart when Wigan put them under pressure.

So. You've come on here with the intention of stirring things up, saying I make childish comments and unwarranted insults and yet you criticise my style of posting and insult me? Hmm. Pot, kettle and black springs to mind.
If you don't like what I post, or the way that I post it, then I'm sure there is an ignore facility on here so I'd suggest you use it. Just a suggestion, like.

The way i see it. It's a Internet forum where anyone is entitled to their views. Saintsfan always comes out with interesting views which results in debates which IMO makes for a better forum. If we all agreed on everything then this would be pretty boring.
Maybe saintsfan is a little biased to saints, certain players abd is very anti Wigan but as long as she's not insulting anyone I don't see a problem at all.
However, I do think sometimes you could be a little bit less harsh in some of your posts, especially over the last few days.
I think the forum is better for having saintfan on here abd certainly wouldn't want her banned.

Y'know, Pete, my little cupcake, you're repeating yourself, which is dull and therefore quite boring. Why not try a different introduction? Like 'That was a daft thing to say' or 'I think that was a stupid reply'. At least you won't then read like an online version of Wigan's attack.
Quote St peteIt's that predictable that not many teams can stop it,'"
And as bewareshadows so intelligently said, there is an argument which could say that what James Roby does is also predictable (gosh! sacrilige!) but there is no doubting its effectiveness and that he is hard to stop. Someone/something can be dull and effective, you know. Wigan are dull but effective because they are repetitive. The key, IMO, is not to let Wigan build up their well rehed attack but instead get in their faces in defence, which is what Wire did when they met Wigan earlier in the season, and Wire won. Because Wigan are so well rehed, if you screw with their pattern they don't know what to do. There are really only two players in the Wigan team who appear capable of true off the cuff rugby - Leuluai and Tomkins.
Quote St peteIn other words my ex sweetie, it works!'"
Well, you see, that is what I said!

Well you know, my little rosebud, if everyone agreed with each other the world would be almost as dull and predictable as Wigan passing to Pat Richards for a try. I'd hate it myself so I'm glad you have your view and I have mine.

Well my little buttercup, that's exactly what I've just wrote in your defence.

| If Saints scored tries like Wigan did yesterday there would be no stopping her "great", "wonderful", "sublime" and any other adjectives she could use.
To say that was boring, dull, predictable rugby yesterday is disrespectful of the game of RL itself.
