Fans Forum 28.08.08 Fan from Haydock "I've got one word for you Mr Chairman - Penalty Count" [quote="The Daddy"]I've got one word for you all......Steve Hanley[/quote] Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!" I thanked him and went on my Merry way! RIVERCAVE DWELLER OF THE YEAR 2015! "The club used you last night and didn't tell the truth." Officially one of the 119 Mugs used by the club:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg



Quote: The Whiffy Kipper "BATEman

You see you've made a mistake in thinking that Bateman's nickname must use his true name up to the "e" and not the 1 letter earlier at the "t"
You've then unilaterally decided that a "y" must be added after the Vowel e without recognising that it is, under ECHR (European convention of Human rights) acceptable for someone to utilise the more commonly used shortening and "ty" approach

Radlinski was known as Rads or Radders - Who decided he or anyone else could add an S to the back of RAD? Or put an extra "ders" on the end?
Farrell (Andrew or Liam) are known as Faz - Where did the "Z" come from????
Heaven help you figure out why Edwards was "Giz", Tuigamala was "Inga" or Offiah was "Chariots"

I could go on - I always thought Nicknames was an often under discussed, interesting and informative subject
To be fair though, it's the closest you've been to being right or handing out a lesson on a subject so well done eusa_clap.gif

I quite like some of the Australian nicknames:

Adam Gilchrist - Church
Phil Sigsworth - Whats-a-packet-a'
Matt Hilder - Waltzing
Pat Cummins - Postman Pat
Ray Warren - Rabbits

Quote: The Whiffy Kipper "I see the Cherry & White tinted goggles are out, Batey (as it should be spelled) is currently playing at 80% of what he was playing before he left. Last season was 70%, some fans really to need to stop bullting certain players up just because they are your favourites'"


What performance trackers do you use to come up with those percentages? Why not 75% and 85% How can you tell if someone has improved by 10%? Which bit of his game would that be?

I thought he was awful last season (by his high standards) and i hold him in very high esteem which is why he is in my all time wigan 13 alongside Betts but that was from his first stint with us. I don't think he is near peak Bateman yet though but has admittedly been a hell of a lot better this season than he was the last. He is playing well.

[size=100:2md8k3b3][b:2md8k3b3]'Do you remember when we had that meeting in Orlando? We talked about how we were knocked out the previous year by Leeds. And at the end, I asked you one question. "Do you want to be a semi-final team? Or do you want to do something special?" You all said you wanted to win. But talking is easy – it needed you to believe. It needed you to work hard – harder than you had – and make sacrifices. You did all that. you worked for each other. You stuck together when it was tough. And because of your efforts, you sit here tonight as champions. I'm proud of you. Be proud of yourselves. You've done something special.' [color=red:2md8k3b3] Shaun Wane's post-Grand Final speech. 5th October 2013.[/color:2md8k3b3][/b:2md8k3b3][/size:2md8k3b3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_16304.jpg
