Quote: NickyKiss "The environment seems so different at the club now to the one in the days of the likes of Burgess and Williams. There was that group of 5 mates (Burgess, Gildart, Sutton, Bateman and Williams) who just seemed to think of Wigan as a stepping stone to bigger and better things and that is unsettling (as well as ridiculous). It's been a positive in seeing that sort of mindset leave the club and to now have a group of players who seem to be fully aware that pulling on that shirt is a privilege not to be taken for granted.

It's very rare that leaving Wigan for any club is a step up.'"


Really good observation. Everyone who's interviewed now from Wigan reference the history and tradition of the club and wanting to form part of that history going forward. It's not just the younger players coming through but also the Aussies who traditionally would have been here for a few years to make their name then go back to 'bigger things' in the NRL and players from other clubs like Cooper and Leeming who recognise the special culture created by Peet and Rads and the special history of eth club - especially how they recognise, look after and involve past players. THat's they type of club I want to be at - where you're not just forgotten when you stop playing for them.

Quote: Jukesays "How is that spot on when Burgess went into the tackle at the exact same time Hiku dripped on Nsemba with considerable more force, granted Busgies and does make contact with an open palm but I'd bet a hefty amount that Hikus contact made more of a forceful impact on a prone player, remember both of them could have just placed a hand on Nsemba and effected the tackle, fair enough they didnt, but just because Budgie runs back to the wing for the next tackle whilst the other 2 stay at marker I'm not sure what punishment for the initial drop he should face, especially in comparison with Hiku ?

Being an ex Wigan player, or leaving the club in what some deem was a poor way a couple of times doesn't immediately mean he's guilty of anything'"


Fair enough, I was probably being a bit harsh on Burgess, certainly regarding a ban anyway. I think Hiku sort of drops on Nsemba and, for me, doesn’t do too much wrong. In contrast, Burgess leads to his head, difficult to say whether or not it was with an open palm. It’s just too fast to tell.

Your last sentence had no bearing on what I previously posted.

Quite right too. Agree he didn't do much wrong in the spirit of the game.

Quote: Big Steve "Hiku makes no attempt to drag Junior up - which is where the bans should come into play. His actions don't warrant any sort of ban - anyone can see that regardless of the rule.

Burgess hitting the head of a prone player with at the very least no due care and attention and with plenty of time to assess the situation and not even make contact is ignored. It just makes the review panel look incompetent.

The letter of the law can't be used to support the first case then ignored in the 2nd. Similar applies to Lewis lifting Farells leg intentionally well above horizontal. It should have at least been looked at .'"


Heaven forbid. It couldn't be that, could it? Mind you ... it would explain a lot.
