I think we should all salute Phipps as Rugby League's very own plank!!

I agree,but if you take the letters lan out of plank and put ric that would be more suitable.

The Tompkins 'Plank' today was priceless !! IF I had seen that one coming I would have travelled to bradford and paid to see it live. Thankfully I recorded the game and can kepp watching it over and over !

agree totally.

I bet tony smith is really impressed when he sees the photos

He should be out shaggin' married women like some of the proper sports starts in this country.

If he's out plankin' then he aint spankin'.

People have died not lying down as well. Ridiculous...

Funny enough I've thought this about wigan fans since I was 8yrs old. All fat and wear baseball caps.

your confusing them with americans.

I think its down to upbringing... fat parents generally = fat kids.... its a vicious cycle thats hard to break.

Something must have happened a few generations ago that caused alot of wigan people to get very fat.

The question is...... what was that event?

it could have been the invention of pastry.

I think it's brilliant

Too many pies are not good for you
