Bet there was Shit flung everywhere in that changing room.


I had wondered if we were going to do this. I wouldn't be too bothered if I were a Wigan fan, you'd imagine structurally they will be different this year in attack to last

So Roosters now have several badly injured players ?

knee and ankle injuries everywhere.

So the Roosters have watched a freely available video of the way Wigan play, and asked another team (Wire) to simulate it in practice ?

Absolutely outrageous, it must be cheating. Well, either that or a bit of sports psychology by Wayne to wind his players up before the big match, I really can't decide which.


The Roosters should be quite good at all in wrestling by now, I would imagine.

He sounds like a child, best ignored!

Gosh, I propose we offer Mr Wane a full and unreserved apology for this outrageous behaviour

I personally am now REALLY SCARED for when Wigan come to us, now Wane will have given his team an extra special pep talk - probably especially in the forwards - remember what happened last time he did that

Bit of an over reaction when you consider Robinson has played Wigan many times and recordings of all their games are freely available, it's not like the old days. Does make us look a tad like sore losers though, I for one will be cheering for Wigan.

Surely they shouldn't need any motivation to win the World Club Challenge?

I would be disappointed in Wigan if they helped Melbourne before playing leeds, this is england vs Aus and Super league vs NRL. I am sure i have heard tony smith mentioning that we should all be cheering for the English club despite club loyalties.

The majority of Wire fans will not want Wigan to win, why would we?

I hope they give a good account of themselves but Roosters all day long for mine.

Don't see what the big deal is personally, I'm pretty sure Wane won't be going over there without getting any sort of opinions on the way the Roosters play and like someone has said, Robinson will have more than enough experience playing against us. I think it could be seen as a bit childish that the coach of an English team is trying to help the aussie team but it's probably more about the papers making something out of nothing. but that's sport I guess, And in all honesty I don't think the Roosters need much help beating us anyway. I'm honest enough to admit that with both teams at their best you would fancy the roosters every time.

So just suppose for a moment it were NZ Warriors against Wire. You'd be cheering us on against Sam?
