Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

They would see it as a way of making the weekend's games more action packed and there would always be something to play for....
Whatever happens they must keep the weekend overall, its been one of the best additions to the game in recent memory I feel.'"
I don't think they are that bad.
Personally I think it should be the last game before the split and the top 4 championship clubs from this season should be given the opportunity to play as well, making it 4 games on each day and also adding to the attendance. Fax, Leigh and Fev could potentially add significantly to the attendance IMO. With the lack of big games they play in all 3 could bring a couple of thousand. |

That's a sure fire way to kill the "novelty" of the event I would say. If you start devaluing the whole concept by limiting the teams that can be in it then it simply wont make it worth while. If you have it the weekend of the cup especially at the quarter final stage, usually you will have at least 4 of the "big" teams left in the cup. |

Its already devalued by the mickey mouse derby games and easy 2 points for certain teams |

This, but with 2 games from each tier on each day, otherwise the middle 8 day attendance would be appalling. It is going to be a 23rd fixture before the split though, which is ridiculous IMO. |

should be the 12th league game. After every team has played each other once (11 games) then the next weeks fixtures should be the first round of the cup that the top 12 enter. This then gives 2 weeks from game 11 to arrange the Magic fixtures, It should then be 11 v 12, 7 v 8 and 3 v 4 on the Saturday and 9 v 10, 5 v 6 and 1 v 2 on the sunday.........everybody plays a competitive game and 2 weeks to get tickets is no worse than some cup rounds
