| Agreed with the Sam Tomkins shout, his play acting and face got my back up.
Chargedowns wind me up too, went to watch them train at Crosfields and they practised chargedowns for at least 30-45 mins!

| Quote: Kol Witless "Kicking the ball "backwards" in to touch from a penalty i.e.towards your own posts. I fully understand that this is to give the space for a better attacking platform, but why kick it, what on earth is the point? - when you can simply carry the ball back as far as you like as long as it's in line with the infringement.
I look forward to the day when a player does kick "backwards" and fails to find touch (one day this will happen).'"
you can walk back as far as you like from the penalty but when you kick it into touch you come infield to.

| Chargedowns
The dragging into touch rule
Shoulder charges
Bring back the quick tap rule regardless of who is on or offside
Let players have a couples of slaps and give them a yellow card with no retrospective punishment
Penalty for out on the full from a kick off is harsh, make it a tap 50.
Punish all players except the captain for backchat to the ref, ALL, dragged back 10 everytime. If backchat is within 10 of the line gain an extra tackle.
Play acting
Players holding arms in the ruck to gain penalties
Players taking an eternity to release in the ruck
Cheap 3rd man in tackles
Fans not knowing the rules then having a go at the ref
Fans moaning constantly about our game being rubbish
Playoff crowds
Challenge Cup crowds
Impossible offloads early in the count
The RFL being run by people who have failed elsewhere
Ian Leneghan trying to be Maurice Lindsey
Gary Hetherington thinking he is the RFL
Salary cap being too small for clubs that can afford to spend more
The silly duel reg system and destroying of teams youth systems
Tony Smiths reluctance to play younger lads more often
Onfield coaching by water carriers
Rhino balls, not the actual animals testicles but the silly tefal non stick rubbish at the moment.
Stefan Ratchford taking an hour to kick goal
People who only attend finals but hoover up the best seats.
Chris Bridges silly penalties that always involve him on top of the player, him staring menacingly into the oppositions eyes like he's either going to headbutt him or kiss him picking up then slamming him back down, you can see it coming a mile off and he always does it at least twice a match.
The north east corner, always empty
Beer queues at half time
Lack of decent choice of alcohol
Overinflated prices of everything in the stadium
Resting too many players instead of having a better squad rotation policy
Stefan Ratchfords grip on the ball
Riley not backing himself more often
People who don't realise how good Myler is
This years recruitment policy
Last years recruitment policy
No decent half time competitions anymore
Music after every try and goal that's louder than Glastonbury
Psychotic bouncer style stewards
Better acoustics in the away stand
Sky messing with fixtures
Simon Moran being a promotional expert yet seeing none of this being applied to Warrington Wolves although this is a tiny gripe seeing as everything else he has done for the club is gratefully received
Bewsey
St Helens and Widnes having a Warrington postcode

| Quote: shinymcshine "I've never understood the reasoning behind a player having to pass the ball from the sideline to the player taking the restart penalty after a kick to touch. Doesn't this just "penalise" the attacking team as they end up with a player out of position?'"
On similar lines to the above, why does (sometimes) the player taking the tap, then pass to the first receiver, who then passes to the forward to take the ball in??? By this time the oppostition line has made up the 10 metres and we are no further forward from where we have taken the tap from. Instead of taking the tap and giving it to the first forward (usually second rower) to make further yards downfield.

| people who talk and type lots on here, and dont really say anything much, like that mate you have in the pub who doesn't really contribute and then says something off topic and you look at them as if to say, what you on about.
Pies r us is particularly bad for that, in my opinion.

| Making absolutely sod all yards kicking a penalty into touch. Get a penalty in your own red zone, "I know, I'll kick it and make 15-20 metres."
Boot the ******* thing downfield and make 40-50 or even 60 metres.
Really annoys me, that does.

| When we're throwing it about and making mistakes, fans who shout "just take the ball up", then the same fans ten minutes later shouting "get the ball out wide, move it Wire".

| People who say "my source" when they really just mean; "I heard someone say"
The RFL. Specifically its spectacular ability to make our game appear distinctly unprofessional to the wider public
BskyB and their scheduling of Rugby league games on Thursdays.
Tony Smiths nervous tv interviews
Shaun Wane for being a miles better coach than I'd have liked
Shaun Wane's face
That "Sean" Edwards thread because his name is wrong
Fucking "beep beep" e from stevo
Richard silverwoods face
Shaun Wane's voice
Cringe empty stadiums on tv
.. I'll have more

Gerrum on side ref: |
|
| Some that spring to mind:
The Clubcall for the Playoff Semi-Finals. Scrap it.
The draw for the Challenge Cup rounds at different times, sometimes days or a week after the previous round. Have it on BBC2 straight after the live televised game on the Sunday - aka the semi final draw after we beat Huddersfield in the Quarter Final at home.
London's home crowds.
London's lack of a home ground for next season.
Bradford fans shouting "FORRRRRRRWARD" at Odsal everytime the opposition have the ball.
Crowds for International games. We should be selling out Wembley Stadium for the World Cup semi-final double header, yet I suspect we'll see a crowd of around 60k at Wembley this year if we're lucky.
Yellow lines at the HJ.
Losing away to Hull KR each season - think we've lost the last 3 times we've played there.
Losing to Widnes.
No real meaning to the League Leaders Shield.
Blatant forward passes that are ignored by the touch judges.
The band at Headingley, comes across really bad when live on Sky Sports.
Queueing up hours for tickets for a final when you can order them online in 2 minutes. What's that all about?
People on here saying "Have you rung the club shop" when somebody asks a genuine question.

| T*ssers like Ablett and JJB that do all sorts of sh*t in the tackle, but are absolutely outraged as soon as somebody gives the slightest bit back.
Leeds fans saying the season means f*ck all 'cause they won it a few times from lower positions, yet they all hold season tickets and moan like f*ck all season anyway.
Widnes fans going to the Grand Final, wearing Wigan scarves, but singing Widnes songs.
Higham's passes out of dummy half that barely reach the laces.
Players taking voluntary tackles.
Loose forwards that have no ability in attack.
RL matches on a Thursday night.
Cost of a Dominos pizza in the stadium.
The barmy army chant.
