Maybe we are due to be on the right side of a crucial one in a final?? Now THAT would be sweet!

Oh I'd take this niggle going on all season.

The more Wigan and Leeds take out of each other the better.

Whoever it was did the tackle in Ryan Hall should've been sent off. That was a lot more dangerous than the slap across the face from the Hull Fc player before. McIlorum is a dirty player, and anyone who says that is insulted by the wigan fans (fair enough they are defending their player) but everyone can see it. However, McGuire and Ryan Bailey. Bloody hell fire how did only bailey get sent to the sin bin and McGuire didn't, that was a joke, and once again Bailey proves how tough he is by going after the smaller players. In the end, it was a very entertaining game that rounded off a cracking day off Rugby league.

It was a very impressive Wigan performance and a cracking game of RL in general.

I really enjoyed it.

I take it that you are being ironic ?
Knocks the ball forward onto the Wigan player, re-gathers and grounds the ball.
Clearly NO try, the only question is why the VR took so long to decide.

The niggle was great to watch all game and a real throw back to days gone by. It was noticeable how the players know they can't really throw punches anymore when it all gets heated. The 'fight' in the second half was more royal rumble then heavyweight boxing. In days gone by arms would have been swinging everywhere.

The rest of Superleague just saw a nice demo of the main thing you need to know when you play Leeds..."they don't like it up 'em".

They played exactly the same two weeks ago against us (Leeds)

Holding down at the PTB (which again wasn't penalised until 30 mins had gone)

Third man always smashing in to torso of the ball handler

Holding down with the forearm pressed into ball handlers face on multiple occasion.

and just 80 mins on niggling gamesmanship from them and expected no less from them yesterday.

Its obviously premeditated tactics, which I wouldn't be proud of if I was a wigan fan

Rugby League isn't a difficult game. You run harder and tackle harder than your opposite Number and more often than not you come up on the winning side. Wigan play an aggressive Game right on the border (and sometimes over) of the rules, but I've no problem with that. I wish the Saints Pack played with half of the aggression that they do.

As opposed to other teams in super league that enjoy it when the opposition get in their faces, stifle the attack and wind them up with niggle.

Saying it's a difficult game does not mean anything.

Just go and watch the Cas v Leeds game last week to see a hard fought competitive game of RL without the need of gamesmanship and thuggery.

Yesterdays game has no place in modern RL. and was only allowed to happen due to the weakness of our referee's (doesn't make it right though)

Gotta love Mcllorum, every player in the league would want him on their side.
The past two Wigan vs Leeds games Peacock has tried bullying the younger Wigan players but yesterday Mcllorum stood up to him and Peacock didn't like it and went into his shell.

I honestly can't see how a Leeds Fan can complain about Thuggery with Bailey in the side? Leeds fans have gloried in his antics for years.
