Quote: jdrocket "It wasn't an attack on your character. I'm sure you honestly believed what you said. However, it isn't the place to have a Wigan victim complex, on the Wire board. You are right that there may be a case of swings and roundabouts but I don't think Warrington will get the same amount of possible banning offences in their game at Salford than the Hull derby that has without failed resulted in conflict between the two teams.'"
Oh see now I dont have a victim complex. Its more that I feel the new rule is ridiculous. I know Lima broke it (and the one in the Saints game was only annoying for the reason it was put on report with Wilkin's Whining) and deserved the bans for breaking the rule its just that the actual rule stinks. Leeds, Bradford, Hudds, Yourselves and every other team in the league has been doing those tackles for years including myself at school after being taught that if the player is still going forward you take his legs down and stop him.
Anyway thats off topic so never mind that now I agree that it IS likely there will be more in the Hull derby than your game at Salford however you never know theres always a slim chance that the Hull game could be pretty offense free and that say, for example, a Salford player does a careless challenge on one of your guys and a brawl ensues resulting in a couple of your guys throwing punches. The great thing about RL is that you never ever know what is going to happen til its happened. Thats what makes the sport much better to watch than football and thats the reason I spend £125 to watch Wigan (student) rather than going to watch my football team, Crewe, for £80 a season instead.
