I think theres a few reasons why people aren't really interested.
1 - The state Super League is in
2 - Previous years like you've said
3 - and the biggest factor for me are ticket prices - I know standard match day prices are pretty expensive at Wigan but I've paid £26 for my season ticket seat (east stand) - I'd say thats quite expensive for a non season ticket holder never mind a season ticket holder. Wigan pricing themselves out of the game completely. I know plenty season ticket holders who aren't going because of the prices. Why pay £26 quid for a ticket when you can go to the pub, watch it for free and have a few pints and only spend 15 quid? I'm not saying they should dilute ticket prices so it becomes a bargain but come on, be reasonable, especially for ST holders and families.

I did. 100% he meant to put that hit in late. Gildart got rid well before the hit took place. Cronulla lad had plenty of time to stop his hit but went straight in with shoulder. At least it didnt stop Gildart from killing it.

Your left side attack is going to be crazy good this year by looks.

Didn't notice that one until I watched the link above. It's hard to tell without a slowmo where the point of contact was but if it was around the head that's a bad one.

And yet we have Phil Clarke on the sky site earlier saying we got all the close calls. The games biggest call went totally unnoticed! They should have been playing with 12 men for 55 minutes.

I saw it straight away it was deliberate and I would think intended to deliver maximum damage.
The only downside to the game was that no Wigan player attempted to put their winger over the west stand which where he should have gone.

The more I see it the more I think the guy should be facing a long ban. It is an absolute shocker and a real cowards trick.

It's so frustrating that more wasn't made of it by the Sky team (I say more when actually anything would have done) because it makes an absolute mug of anybody who claims we got the rub of the green.
