23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



Quote: Dwayne Dibley "I always though cheating was akin to Busting the salary cap when you were in grave danger of be relegated.'"


Can't think of any team that has busted the salary cap to avoid relegation, let us know when it actually happens.

Quote: 74' "He was worse than ever last night. And people who say he isn't biased no nothing about RL. Check Chev Walkers, Matt Diskin and Paul Wood's Twitters' that is how bad he was last night. Cringeworthy.'"

Quote: Barry_McKenzie "So....

this 'distinguished career' involves what exactly?'"


A glut of league titles, Challenge Cups, a couple of WCC's, various other trophies.

Nothing of note really icon_biggrin.gif

Quote: Tre Cool "I knew Sam Tomkins was gonna get the man of the match award. Despite there being at least 10 better performers last night. He is going to get destroyed down under against the Kangaroos, completely destroyed. Being fast and skinny doesnt cut it down there. Yellow boots or not.'"

Sam Tomkins is a tough little bugger - a darn sight more durable and competitive than the two stand off's England took to the world cup in McGuire and Pryce

Tough, fast. But lightweight. Wouldnt get near an NRL first-grade back line. He represents everything thats wrong with UK RL. Its too easy to play SL with one or two strong qualities and forgetting about developing everything else that makes a world class player.

This guy made his NRL first grade debut this year

www.weststigers.com.au/default.a ... ke-Lazarus

As soon as I saw him I thought how much he reminded me of Sam Tomkins in both build and playing style

And a little closer to home, Bret Hodgson is no monstor and he went OK in the NRL

Ben Westwood clearly cheated then, wonder what 'the gods of rugby' decide the punishment for that is.

On the Clarke scale of punishment its at least damaged knee ligaments

I imagine the worst punishment possible would be to read all your posts or god forbid go on a night out with you.. icon_cheers.gif icon_cheers.gif

Has Phil Clarke let us know what his career ending neck injury was punishment for yet?

Surely the perfect example of Sour Grapes is Wiggy tonight with "And next week anyone from Huddersfield, Leeds and St Helens can make the Grand Final"
