Why join in then? Is the Cas board closed at the moment, or did you see a bandwagon rolling past and just couldn't resist?

Wigan are no worse than any other club, and a damn sight better than most.

Not half as thuggish as Rangi chase breaking Ropatis jaw to smithereens with a cheeky little elbow to the mush

West wood decking a prone Blake green with a naughty little blind side punch from behind

None of that will cut any ice with him mate.

Justin Carney has been cited 15 times in the last two years, charged 6 times and received 6 bans. 3 of those were for dangerous throws, and 3 of them were for striking an opponent.

However, Micky is still the habitual thug.

You couldn't make it up.

Chase on Ropati was in 2012 - the OP was questioning thuggish acts this season.

Oh, that's OK then.

You've just made that up haven't you ?

The worry for me about the game is the validation of the cheap shot merchant by the disciplinary panel.

Westwood injured Green, got a token 1 game, friendly, ban.
He knew the GF, last game of the season and a ban would be served by a friendly. Worth the risk therefore to injure a player and reduce the oppositions chances of winning.
Masoe head shot on Gelling was no attempt to tackle but to injure the Wigan player. The disip don't do anything.
Hohaia knew when chasing Flower to cheap shot him that any ban would be derisory and he will start next season.
Funny how there's no disciplinary matter or cheap shots in the two Final Eliminators, the games before the GF. A one match ban and the GF would be missed

It is mate. But you had the audacity to beat Wigan in the cup this year so you're now on their "naughty list" and can expect to be dragged in to any conversations at totally irrelevant times!
Warrington and Saints are long standing members of the list and you'll have a job to find a thread on this forum where one or the other or in most instances both are not implicated at some stage

Perhaps that's because since and before the times of Les Boyd and Sonny Nuckle both clubs have had their resident thug.
Saints beat us in a final, they've done it before and we have beaten them in plenty finals too.
Sorry, but remind me again when Wire last beat Wigan at Wembley or OT?

Nope. I went to the RFL Disciplinary website, and looked it up.

I find it pays to have some facts before I go running off at the mouth.

More people should do that.

No it's about Wigan's tactics and how one-eyed fans of other teams perceive them to be "underhand."

Now scuttle back off to your cave.
