Quote: AJ "Will certainly be interesting come the game at the KC. I wonder if any Hull player will be unavailable that day.
Wilson has an anti Wigan agenda, you only have to hear him on GMR or follow him on Twitter to see that. The story itself is pathetic, we have agressive defence is the upshot?
The reason why RL in the Uk will never be anything but a minority sport is people like Andy Wilson, we have a champion team, who can match it with the NRL clubs, we play to large crowds in a modern stadium, we have great facilities, youth development and push the boundaries with marketing. But that is to be shot and sniped at in an effort to influence the powers that be at Red Hall and keep reminding them that sponsors like Engage and clubs like Wakefield and people like Kear are actually big time and will make the code of League relevant.'"
I don't suppose we can ever prove that he has an anti-Wigan agenda, despite the evidence we often see before our eyes. But whether he does or doesn't, to write an article as negative as that, based on 'evidence' so unreliable that his newspaper wouldn't let him print it, add spice with the embittered, one-eyed drivel of a micro-intellect like John Kear, and then basically present it as a form of preview to the Wigan and Saints game (a match which was always likely to prove great entertainment) is a very strange policy for someone who supposedly cares about Rugby League.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone like Wilson occassionally used his position to say: "Today you are are going to witness a magnificent spectacle of skill, athleticism and controlled aggression - two of the best sides in the country are going to rip each other to shreds in a desperate battle for two vital league points. Tune in or miss a treat."
If the response to that point is that his editor won't let him, then he should show real loyalty to RL and go and work for someone who will.
