[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]: |

it seems our goon fiends have taken exception to the gesture made by Giants fans...
viewtopic.php?f=28&t=508582
no class....and quickly becoming despised by most other RL fans. |

Astonished to see that. Brilliant by the Huddersfield supporters, filled my cynical old flinty heart with joy.

i made that thread because I didn't take exception and actually thought it was quite a nice thing to do, but I should have known what it would escalate into...
typical really, but nevermind

Particularly like the Wigan fan claiming Huddersfield have "little history" in the game. A visit to the George Hotel required I believe.

It was only the usual bitter clowns that contributed to that thread. Most Wigan fans will have been as impressed as we were.

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

You should be happy. It find it quite refreshing when stupid people identify themselves so readily.

Are people pleased that a thread that was originally about what's great about our sport has turned into yet another anti-Wigan tirade?

nope.... it gives me no pleasure what-so-ever to bring to attention the fact that any fan of any club or sport can remark in a negative way about such a noble gesture. |

Utter comtempt from the giants fans.
Everyone knows in sport hate and bitterness is a sign of respect. Why do you think the most sucessful teams are, generally, the most hated?
You didn't eaxctly see ''well done wigan'' banners when they were winning their umpteenth CC on the trot did?
That gesture from the giants fans is almost like they're saying ''you're not a team we are threatened by, but every dog has it's day so well done''.
Friendly rivalry is better.
You'll be hugging and kissing next, and going along to each others games to support each other.
