At this stage he looked a little plump for my liking, however he did have good turn of speed. Once he slims down he will be a hand full. Getting off with that high shot is just to keep our team in the WCC at full strength! If it happens again i would foresee a different out come!!

I was at Wembley v leeds and v hudds.
2 Yorkshire teams. I didnt see any neutral pies on that day cheering Wire as a Lancs team.

Screw Wigan. I for one as a SL fan will watch and hope they get stuffed.

[i=#FF8040As for Bowen let’s try to keep things in proportion please.[/i

Ok; Grix had taken three strides before Bowen stiff armed him. Bowen should have been sent off and given a three match ban.

[i I don’t condone any form of dangerous play, but some people have very short and bias memories, last year’s GF for instance[/i.

So now you are trying to make a right out of two wrongs, do me a favour pies.

As for putting rivalry to one side, I would certainly consider it if it was any team other than wigin I hope they get stuffed by a lot.

Best post you've ever made.

Soliola, that's a straight red tonight. I really wonder what you have to do to get one.

in recent times there were three red card in this game. Have the rules changed or have we got benefit of doubt on this as well?

To be fair, if it wasn't for the attitude of your fans at their opinion that Wiggin are the greatest team to have ever pulled on a RL Jersey in the World, then most of us Wire fans may well hope you beat Aussies.........

Nope, I'm lying!!

I too hope they run through you like a dose of the $hits!

I'm assuming this may be because you don't want to comment on it. IIRC you never seemed to want to comment on the Hansen issue because it had apparently "been done to death". Which is fair enough, but by keeping quiet some people may see that as condoning said actions.

Will be very interesting to see if Hansen does the same to a Wigan player during his Salford tenure, and how the Wigan fans would react if it did happen. I doubt very much they would brush it off as a "legitimate tackle".



Even Wire or St Helens? I think not. If one of those teams got to the WCC, there is no way on this planet you would support them.



I think part of it boils down to the amount of bile and arrogance spewed out by some of fans after the Grand Final. There was that much of it, that Eugene Victor Tooms would have had a field day.

As for the fan rivalry, it's not the WCC that it happens, England RL suffer with it all the time. Saints/Wire fans booing Wigan players, Wigan/Saints fans booing Wire players, Wigan/Wire fans booing Saints players and everyone else booing Leeds players.

My preference for the WCC is of course the Sydney Roosters; but that is because they have been my NRL team since I've been following the NRL.



I assume that's another "no comment" when it comes to dangerous play then. I thought you don't condone dangerous play.

You seem to be a pretty level headed Wigan fan from your posts, so fair play to you for that. But I never miss an opportunity to question someone's post if I feel it deserves questioning (if I see these posts, of course). It's what a forum is all about.

You are 100% right about what these boards are all about, discussion and argument, and a bit of biff and bat, but believe me (but I doubt you will though, but nonetheless) EVEN IF IT WAS WIRE, OR SAINTS IN THE WCC, AGAINST OZ, TOO BLOODY RIGHT!

Or you could say a like a dose of Saints!
