If the intent has been there for several seasons (as most Wigan haters claim), you'd expect some statistical evidence that it was having an effect. If it's not having an effect, then it doesn't even matter, it's just a team making fools of themselves by intended to injure and failing.

I don't know if obtaining statistical evidence would be possible, but it wouldn't suprise if the stats did paint a picture, there was 3 ligament injuries alone in last years grand final involving wigan. The more you think about it the more pop into your head, that have occured, against wigan.

Like I said, you may be correct, and I mean it. But watching them week in week out I don't feel like I see opposition players hobbling off any more than Wigan players. Could be wrong, I hope some 'anorak' puts some injury stats together - the data's probably there somewhere, if someone can be bothered to research.

You're probably right, the only time players get injured is when they're playing against Wigan, and I can't remember a non-Wigan player committing any foul play. As for Saints, they definitely don't do things like putting pressure on joints and their disciplinary record is certainly not littered with it...

I have fully intended to sleep with Cameron Diaz for a couple of years now. There is no statistical evidence of it happening.

The proposition wasnt that Wigan DO injure more people, simply that they intended to.

You know that thing where people on the internet think they have a point to make?

He punched a man unconscious on the floor. What he knew about the degree of damage he'd already done is irrelevant, as it would be if he was stood in front of a judge after punching an unconscious prone man on the floor. Having put him on the floor he removed any notion of self defence when he continued to attack him. Twice.

Surprised to see anything but utter condemnation for his actions this deep into the thread.

I'd have no problem at all with it if he goes to jail - a less hyperbolic statement than saying it's okay because you've heard of ten year olds also being told to knock the opposition out.

Broken jaw for Kirk Dixon off a Mickey Mac tackle this season.

No one said any of that. You're just exagerating the point to try and make light of it.

"I have no evidence that Wigan intend to injure more players, but, but, they just do, alright!"

There's a video of wane telling his players to be reckless and knock players out.

Ah, so the truth is players from every club get injured by players from every other club?
