What a sore loser. I hope we stick 50 past Wire next time we play them! At least no one can claim Syney aren't taking it seriously

I don't really have an issue with it tbh. They have no loyalty to Wigan and this is a club fixture. They may have helped in a very small way but ultimately I'm sure the Roosters staff and players are good enough to analyse us themselves and come up with a plan of playing against us.

It will make our fixture against Warrington even more intriguing, which can only be a good thing. If Smith and Warrington have done this because they're still hurting from the grand final (I doubt that's why they've done it tbh) then that should just make us smile in truth.

I doubt Wane is bothered, it's a red top paper for a start, they only tell the truth once a day by putting the date on it.

Warrington train in Oz, Warrington partner up with Roosters, like they've done before, coaching staff thought 'hey this is an opportunity we can use seeing as we don't play SL teams that often'

It really is a nothing story OR Wane is faking anger to gee up his players.

I liked this on twitter

"Wire played like Wigan against the Roosters? So they moaned at the ref throughout, held down, cheap shot tackled and wished they played RU."

The thread title is an appropriate response to this.

Hey ... if Wire are happy to be used as pawns in the usual pre-match banter, that's fine by me. At least they'll feel a bit like they're involved.

Don't think Shaun will be fazed one bit by it he'll take it as a compliment, however the Aussie sun seems to have got to Ian Millwards head when he reckons Stefan Ratchford is going to be the next Sam Tomkins!

Nothing story really and no reason for us to get our knickers in a twist. I'll bet if Wire were playing the Rabbitohs and we were helping Madge out, no Wiganers would be getting upset about our involvement.

Nothing to see here, move along...

If warrington could play like wigan do they'd have won a grand final by now.

Meow haha

So Tony that's how you beat Wigan in knock out games. "Ermmm, I don't know, I haven't done it since 2009 and they've had two different coaches since then"

This was infinitely better

Typical Wire - Always the bridesmaids never the bride.

No History.

Yes they have. Didn't you know that Andrew Johns played 3 games for them?

Another expensive publicity stunt. Much like this current trip to Aus.
