Quote Judder Man="Judder Man"Yes, all teams have a couple of players who are the enforcers letting the opposition know they are around to dissrupt there play.
I think Wigan just play it up to and beyond the "acceptable line" consistently, the refs seem to know that this is Wigans style and factor it into the game.
For the opposition fans this is intepretated as "Wigan are getting away with Murder", I don't really know what the answer is, maybe we can quicken the game up and return to an open running game instead of slow controlled physical contact.'"
Ok, where's the bandwagon gone ? beyond the acceptable line is when a referee steps in or the judiciary and our record this year has been pretty good ( I am sure someone will be along any moment with the exact figures)
We play rugby to win, rough and tough and are coached to play within the rules and with a certain consideration towards each other and respect for the opposition. If teams get roughed up and they cannot cope, then obviously their fans will bleat about it for months.
We all have players who make mistakes, with such a fast competition fatigue or the red mist can interfere. But any knowledgeable or intelligent supporter of any club will see it for what it is. So don't be offended by the rants of ill informed 'experts' of the game. We are not a dirty side, we just play to win.
For what its worth, St Petes first answer to the post is almost spot on
