I see. You have been present at their talks then? Gosh. You're even more of a Saints insider than you long to be!

wigan supporters calling roby for not going to australia to' test himself against the best' and become a better player for the good of international rl when he opted to stay at saints

wigan supporters over the moon that tomkins has signed a 5 yr contract to stay with them and not go to the nrl

wigan supporters make your mind up

fwiw well done at keeping those players in super league,i have no desire to see our best playing in the nrl.

What I've advocated for many years is that we (all Superleague teams) should send their best young academy player to Australia on a years scholarship.

Listening to Radio Merseysides try time (Merseyside Sport) on Thursday it appears that Widnes have done it this year.

It was a very good programme, with Simmons, Smith and Maguire discussing the new play the ball interpretation.

Listen again rlhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_merseyside/20110203rl the discussion starts about 1 hour in.

Amazing last night during the union bore on BBC, the number of League players posting on twitter in AWE of the atmosphere in union and the fitness of England???? one point it is time they got rid of Brian Moore, no better than Andy Gray!

Well, from an international POV it's no wonder is it? Can you imagine the Millennium Stadium selling out for one of League's international matches? Most RL fans just whinge about what a waste of time international RL is. The atmosphere was very good at the England match yesterday. Except for the tries the game was a borefest but there was certainly a great atmosphere among the crowd. Wish RL internationals could attract that kind of turnout and atmosphere.

Just have a look who is shown on here.

Interesting article.

Soft targets which Is typical of the HMRC. Pity they arent as forceful with tax dodging multimillionaires and multinationals.Probably a bit too close to home for some of em.

can see the obvious attraction of union to a young player. Ashton was always going to be a player of limited abilities in League, but in union he is looked upon as some sort of superstar, based around a "wonder" try and an unprofessional try scoring celebration. His earning power now must be many times any british rugby league players, his face is on the front and back pages of all the papers, all he needs now is a celebrity girlfriend and he is made. And let's face it, he hasn't got there either on his looks or his ability. If he had stayed at Wigan, he would be playing in front of a few thousand yokels week in week out, and struggling to get his name in the MEN. Can't fault his ability to make a name for himself. Kyle Eastmond, you could be next.

'Tweeted' by Wilkin today.......

RU is like a BMW, it looks,appears and is a quality product, RL is the same car minus the badges, its as good but nobody knows about it!!

I completely agree it was a borefest and the commentary by Moore is nothing but a total joke, but it hurts a little with all the money that has come into League from Sky that we are still struggling and that star players are in such awe of union and as some have also seen on Twitter they see it as a BMW? I worry for our game, the number of clubs struggling, what is going to happen, would we be better semi-professional once more and see the game completely outclassed by a boring game of union, that is not what I want!
