Quote: jaybs "Calls that Sheffield would have done better. what a Joke! just taunts from the Northern Parochials? Sheffield remember could not beat us! the likes of the teams who feel they are Super League quality Featherstone and Halifax would have been destroyed yesterday.
Wigan took it serious, willing to give St Helens two league points and rest players last Monday, yes many of us travelled in Hope, that first period was fairly good, but once the flood gates opened, heads went down by the minute, tackling was abysmal as we have seen over and over again this season, what are the coaching staff doing during the week? Some young players heads have been fed rubbish from their personal managers telling them they are much better currently than they are!
The game was a terrible advertisement for the game, 6,000? we took around 200-300, their must have been some Leigh people and also general rugby fans, so how many travelled 12 miles from Wigan? The match officials did not help, two terrible calls from the touch line, resulted in tries, when the referee had made the right call? The number of penalties, you are not telling me that Wigan did not commit more fouls at the play the ball, but got away with it. TV Viewers must have fell away even with 20 minutes to go!
What a bad day for us, but also for the sport! and they feel that splitting half way through the season to three leagues is the answer! Woods is killing the game, would you as a major sponsor be involved with rugby league, I know I would not currently advise any client to!'"
I can assure you Sheffield would have given far more effort today. That is what was missing.
