| I just noticed on Twitter that Tomkins has had a dig at Bilko which has kicked up a bit of a storm.
A tad petty on Sam's behalf IMO at a time when he should be enjoying himself with his team mates. Those comments by Bilko clearly hit a nerve amougst the squad and you sense they used it as motivation.
Those comments by Bilko has ultimately played a pretty big part in the squad getting its act together by the looks of things. I'd say that's something he should be proud of.

Earlier in the year this place was like a morgue in comparison and several posters from here started cropping up on there and I don't think that was a coincidence.
As to it going away, that may not now be the case so you may be spared any invasion.'"
'Heated' being a euphemism for venomous, petty, pompous, narcissistic ... etc.
I don't include you in that, by the way. But there's a certain member over there who I'm starting to suspect is no real friend to Wigan RL, at least you don't get that he is from his online persona. He's tried to become a member of this site several times under different identities, almost always causing immediate acrimony and very quickly getting sussed and banned.
So if what you say is true, and all the cuckoos are staying that particular nest, then I'm more than happy.

Yeah, I used to be a mod on there, as you may remember, but I gave up on it several years ago.

Me three, good while ago now. I can't remember the last time I even logged on there.

Clicked out of it five minutes later. I might try it again in 2019

| Not sure I understand why anyone connected with Wigan would be upset at the criticism for the dire performances and boring rugby earlier in the season (as long as it wasn't personally abusive). We are Wigan and we shouldn't settle for second best, let alone third rate performances. I'm old enough to remember the great Wigan sides being booed at CP by angry Wigan fans. Some of what we have seen this season has simply been unacceptable from a Wigan team. On the other hand the finish to this season has been up there with the Mission Impossible run of games, it was Wigan at its finest. You have to hand it to SW and the players, what a superb end to an otherwise forgettable season. Well done lads!
