Maybe if Salford had made the same decision without informing the RFL or Widnes then they would be deducted and fined to the max

Do you actually WANT us to have points docked? With friends like you who needs enemies!
You might think that winning the WCC would allow fans to be universally supportive of IL.
This cock up is manner from heaven for the likes of you isn't it? Always willing to stick the boot in.
I wouldn't blame IL if he thought of jacking it all in. After all, there's just no pleasing some folk.

Maybe. I guess we'll never know, but don't let that stop you sitting there and getting increasingly furious about the potential injustic of such an imaginary event ... Walder.

| How can Wigan RL be fined and/or docked points for a decision which was beyond their control?
The SMC could well have advised us in writing that the ground was no longer available for the game.
Also why would Wigan want a Friday 8pm ko with a 5 day turnaround from the Cronulla game? Surely Wigan's best option would have been a 7 day turnaround playing Sunday the day after the 'tics. The only body demanding a Friday game would be SKY. They decide when TV games are played, not the club nor RFL but SKY!

I blame the pitch, the Latics (a team in the relegation zone) need a bowling green standard surface to showcase their obvious skill and quality.

| Whoever arranges the fixtures at RL Headquarters has to take some of the blame here. They know the football fixtures well before they fix the Superleague matches. Surely it shouldn't be a difficult matter to see that clubs who groundshare with soccer teams are given home fixtures when the soccer teams are away. At this time of year having two matches at the same ground over a weekend is asking for the problem that has been faced in this instance.

Yes, I want a massive fine and points docked. One big hit may give Lenagan the kick he needs to open negotiations with the stadium people that need to happen.
How the fans have been treated is disgraceful.

| According to Cockney Latic the pitch was watered at half time!
Did they not want us to play because there was too much standing water or not enough?

'" Wigan like all clubs were given multiple drafts of the fixture list to approve or highlight any issues. This isn't an issue at other clubs where things are changed well in advance or, shockingly, the stadium can cope with more than one event a weekend.
But I'll ask again since some of you continue to try and for some reason blame the RFL: are there 11 weekends, excluding WCC, cup, Magic and International when the DW Stadium would be available during the regular season - if weekends when the Latics were playing at home and the weeks of never-ending pitch work (which always happens during the RL season I note) are excluded?

Rocket science it's not; if you can't meet this quite fundamental criteria of membership of a professional sporting compeition then perhaps you're better off in the NW Counties league. No other member club of the RFL seems to have these difficulties.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| Its time we had our own ground, I don't see what the issue is as it's us who will be paying for it over the next god knows how many years.
If Leigh can do it and we can't, what's going on there then? I'm sick of playing second fiddle to the football now, it's beyond a joke. Add to that we can't have homecomings or testimonial games at the DW or amateur cup games or academy games either at the ground.
We need our own ground.

I suspect they thought that if both teams came out in flippers, they'd have more chance of winning. They were wrong.
