| Quote: Cruncher "Something inside me quite likes the idea of International RU being heavily staffed by ex-Wigan RL greats, showing the world that they have more basic rugby knowledge in their little fingers than the likes of Rob Andrew and Martin Johnson have in their entire bodies. But I always ask myself the follow-up question "why aren't they doing it in Rugby League?" The inevitable answer then follows "because Rugby League has never made these guys adequate offers to tempt them, and probably never will" - and that always leaves me a bit depressed.'"
Agree, but there's little we can do about it. I don't begrudge them doing it though. |

Might I remind you, Wigan Warriors use to be called Wigan R.U. and my grandfather was very proud to be a follower, as indeed he was equally proud to watch them, when they become Wigan R.L.
Without Wigan R.U. there would not have been the Wigan Warriors we watch today. I feel your comments are not only negative, but also extremely unnecessary. |

And without soccer there would be no rugby union. So what? |

Wigan were never called Wigan RU as far as I am aware.
Wigan were and perhaps still should be called (The) Wigan Football Club.
Wigan, Hull and Oldham are examples of where the first football club to form in a town played the oval ball game (although some clubs weren't sure which code of football - association or rugby - to play). Which is why when people formed soccer clubs in those towns/cities had to find different names for those clubs (Athletic/City).
That's my dull factoid for the day.  |

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

20th: Wigan

I refer the honorable gentlemen to the point I made earlier.
Rugby Union is a horrible sport played by, watched by, commentated on by horrible people. (IMO!!) |

Some very bitter comments on this thread, nobody cared or commented on Union until they started pinching our best young players, and why wouldn't they, they are a bigger, more worldwide sport with a lot of money. Its not RU I hate, its the RFL for sticking with the communist cap as it is and letting this happen.
