39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Great move. Focus on the game and no distractions.
It worked last time.

| Quote: Saddened! "Don't play the 'if it were another club' card boyo.
Remember the utter chaos on here when Saints couldn't be bothered with the Wembley walkabout the other year?'"
Correct.
The difference was saints fans don't have a chip on their shoulder so didn't respond with the old ''it's because it's us'' defence.
Johny Cochran would have a field day ripping that one to shreds.

The only reason it worked last time is because saints and leeds lost their best players.

| How very Ferguson-esque; another step towards Maguire's insidious footballisation [size(c)[/size of RL.

| I wonder what the reaction would have been had this not been a Wigan coach...
I'll tell you what... there would have been no reaction.
Infact, it wouldn't even make the news nevermind RL FANS.

Exactly, so in essence him giving an interview about no interviews got the sport on the news!!

| Ok, so when a Wigan player gives an interview to a national newspaper before a major final, he gets a load of stick from RL fans. Then when this RL player and all others on his team are told they can't give an interview before a major final, they get a load of stick again?

| To be perfectly honest I genuinely don't even remember the "wembley walkabout" incident, mainly because I don't get bothered by such stupid little incidents. I fail to see why wigan players being told to not talk to the media and instead concentrate and focus on a very important upcoming fixture that wont exactly be all over the news anyway deserves so much ridiculous criticism.
Sticking the v's up at fans.... players betting on their own games, teams purposely fielding weak sides.. they may be worthy of criticism, But this is just a case of people making something out of absolutely nothing.
