Quote: ThePrinter "Wakefield's fans obsession'"


You mean the two you've argued with about this particular issue?

I refer you back to a previous post I made, about the folly of attributing characteristics to all fans of a particular club, based on your interactions with one or two of them. It's silly.

Bit rich from the bloke who spends every minute of every day on here telling anyone who'll listen how Leeds would have gone unbeaten in the NRL and then won the Four Nations too had their training ground not flooded.

Everyone got it completely wrong last season so my revised prediction (after 23 rounds) is going to be:

1. Wakefield
2. Castleford
3. Salford
4. Warrington
5. Saint Helens
6. Catalans
7. Wigan
8. Leigh
9. Hull FC
10. Leeds
11. Huddersfield
12. Widnes

Featherstone and Hull KR to get promoted, Bradford to lose the MPG against Leeds. Widnes and Huddersfield to be automatically relegated

Indeed. Yet the mere mention of Watkins and once again he goes into a frenzy and mentions 'obsessed'.
Pot, kettle, black.

Nothing wrong with pointing out the issues a side had last year whether it's Leeds, Cas, Wakey. But when the likes of Leeds, Wigan and Saints win GF's and all you hear from some supporters of smaller clubs is that we only win stuff because the referees are bent towards us and we have Red Hall in our back pockets then it's ridiculous when Wakey fans want credit for finishing 8th only because Salford got deducted points and with the leakiest defence in the competition.

And you say that Wakefield fans have a chip on THEIR shoulders.
I just hope for your sake, that we have a mild/dry Winter c020.gif

Thanks for the support, not icon_lol.gif

However the point you make kind of validates my point. People generalise about Wakefield possibly more than any other club - maybe Salford suffer in a similar way. You can't base your predictions on how Wakey have faired in the past six years or even the last 17 years it's silly. You can only judge on last years and whats been done since then. Thus where you place us is subjective I accept that even if I think it's wrong but how anyone can place us or any other existing SL team below the newly promoted team (whoever they may be) does truly offend because it's totally devoid of reasoning IMHO.

However I've been on these forums long enough to know reasoning has little to do with what some post on here, doesn't mean they should't be prodded occasionally icon_cool.gif

It'd be funny if what you said was actually true. Most Wakefield fans couldn't give a crap about Watkins, but hey there's nothing like a bit of generalisation & exaggeration to try to make a point, now that's tragic. What does make it funny is loads of your own fans were ripping him to him from start to finish last season.

Quote: Tigerade "Welcome back Kippaxer.
Bit quieter, isn't it?

Jean Capdouze still posting his bilge (preferred him when he was Albert Rosenfeld telling everybody Maxime Greseque was the next big thing) oh and I see Vastman's still as bumptious as ever.

What's happened to the sin bin? It's like a refuge for commies and trots.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



Do people wanna change their predictions a little now Widnes have lost their best player ? Early signs suggest they won't be replacing him too, opting with Mellor (I rate) and gilmore in the halves.

I predict that most people will predict 2017 based on what happened in 2016 and not what they think will actually happen in 2017 icon_biggrin.gif
