Best performance on the pitch tonight is by Mr Thierry Alibert. I think he's been brill.

spoke too soon

Another thread involving Wigan

Classic Warrington.

Nice one Ron. Thaler from last night should join the pilgrims of boring rl.

Oh so our beating of Saints was boring? and the beating of you last week was too?

The thing is, there getting away with it so as far as there concerned it's legal technique. And there top of the league and in the CC semi final so it must be working.

just because their winning it doesn't make it right.

I'm not saying it's right just as long as referees and the RFL aren't doing anything about it they will carry on doing it.

Wasn't it Cullen who actually timed the time it takes Wigan to peel off in a tackle and that of another team ad concluded they both took the same amount of time.

Do you wear corduroys in real life Ronald?

I can't comment on the Wire game last week. The saints game was passable.

However, in my subjective opinion, and many appear to agree, it is frustrating watching Wigan play the game. It is not defence that is at the root of it; it is the lying on in the tackle, the several men in the tackle and the twisting of players into ever position conceivable with the sole purpose of slowing the game down.

I would never suggest that a Wigan players aim in doing these things is to injure a player or any other malicious intent. I do believe though that Fadge has placed into their minds a mentality of doing anything to win and that starts with slowing the PTB down. E.G Although I am sure all the Wigan players were 'shocked' when Sol was attacked last week, it gave the Wigan defence a much needed rest and time to reset while Wire were battering several shades out of said defence.

This frustration was intensified last night when you can watch two teams play expansive rugby and not resort to underhand tactics.

My only hope is that Wane (or is thatThing from Fantastic 4) couldn't arrange a up in brewery and this tackling technique (banned in the NRL) follows Fadge back over there.

What a load of .

I turned off Hudds v Hull KR, thought it was awful.

I thought Hull were bad on Friday until I watched Hull KR. That Sam Latus makes Rhys Evans seem like Greg Inglis, light years ahead. When Graeme Horne is swatting people off from halfway, that's me done, stick hole in the wall on.

One get's locked another one starts. Wigan lie on alot...so what. Do it until you the referee stops you. That's what the coach would say. I love a crack with the Wigan lot more than most, but to have a pop at them everyday is becoming boring. The odd sly dig isn't bad, but to have thread after thread slating them is a bit gay. We both have great teams, they're slightly better at the minute as they're more structured and disciplined than us. All will be decided in a few weeks.

Agreed, it was poor. I stuck that Penn & Teller on though after it, good show.
