Quote: Psychedelic Casual "It was almost a good game last night when a bit of rugby broke out from the boring niggle.
Wigan are like the rugby league equivalent of a Jose Mourinho association football team. Any little annoying tactic to gain an advantage they'll take. You won't notice it so much when it's your team (although as a Wire it does annoy me when Chris Hill does all that nonsense) but fans of the opposition do notice it and it's infuriating. Now there are players of all clubs (and Wire got sucked right into that game last night as we were doing it all over the park too) who do this but at Wigan it seems to be the lot of them and the worst two at it weren't even playing last night (Farrell and JTomkins).
The bad thing is whilst the once unwatchable rugby union tries to clean up their play so it's better on the eye; rugby league, with every extra flop, trapped limb, turtling, diving, pulling legs around that our sport does we are getting worse to watch and as a sport we're going backwards in many other ways so do we really need this one as well?
I'm glad the penalty count was so high last night, shows the game for what it was. The ref was good and it just shows you what kind of game it was, as it always seems to be with Wigan. When they have the quality not to play anything like that kind of game'"
He could have dealt with it a bit better by issuing them a team warning, they gave away 3 or 4 on the bounce at one point in the first half, never even gave them a talking to.
