Absolutely pathetic today. How anyone would feel the need to slag off another club during an international is beyond me. People wonder why some of our top talent go to RU, well, it's because small minded idiots like you won't let our game flourish internationally. You are more than happy in your little local bubble and to hell with anything else. Well F**k you lot singing the anti Wigan songs today. Don't ever turn up to another England international again. Also those who retaliated and sang anti Saints/Wire songs, the same goes for you. There was no need, it ruined the day. If you cannot get behind the team - regardless of what club they place for, stay the hell away from future games.

Another very good reason for NEVER taking another International game there.

I can remember it happening at the last lanc v york game that was at wigan, differant supporters all singing songs against their rival clubs.

It's pathetic. People just have their club loyalties and then that's it. They seem to forget that England is a separate team, and rather than all get behind the team, they'd rather just snipe at each other.

Leigh, the town of six fingered inbreds. Anyone with a child playing amateur RL in Wigan will know what a fantastic experience it is to travel into the land that time forgot to see their kid playing in front of the worst specimens the human race could ever wish to develop.
The sort of place in which you will hear mums with more facial hair than Jamie Jones Buchannan encouraging their sons to 'kill the pie eating b*st*rds' (this is at under 7s and 8s by the way).
Little wonder that by the time they reach the age of 13-14 most Leigh team fall by the wayside. Once they develop, their cavemanlike postures slow them down, probably due to the friction from their knuckles dragging along the ground.
Super League would be wasted on them. Thankfully the powers that be have more sense (Please God, let me be right).

YES!!!

I recon if rugby league got more violent it’d be more popular.

Just look at what publicity football hooligans got for their sport. Any publicity is good publicity.

Hope they never get another test match
Hope they never get a super league franchise
Small time team with small time mentality stuck in the dark ages.

Sorry mate, as you know I've been watching Leigh for nearly 20 years and I've never heard that song being sung - I've only ever heard "I'd rather be a pasty than a pie" as was sung tonight. I was stood with a group of crust munchers (a couple of whom post on here) and they took it in the manner that it was intended.

I've only missed one England game in this hemisphere in the past 5 years and, despite the club-centric chants from any number of clubs, tonight's crowd was actually more supportive of the England side than I've heard in a long, long time.

yeah it is pasty...used to watch both Leigh and Wigan

and on the subject of chants when i went to the 4 nations game at the dw last year the wigan fans started that good old chan w***n w***n W***N and were signging songs about wigan players at that game so i think you lot are blowing this up into something bigger than it actually is oh and by the way sam tompkins was outstanding for england yesterday a reall class act

In football, you don't see people turning up in club colours, they all wear England shirts. I'd like to think if the RFL tried to promote the wearing of England gear, it'd be harder for people to distinguish the clubs they each support, so hopefully would get behind England. If there's a group of Wire or Saints fans and they see a group of Wigan fans sat not so far away, they're going to chant anti-Wigan songs, the same with us, we'd sing anti-Wire songs like we did at Murrayfield Magic.

Love it

Jealous thats all they are **** um

Both fair points. Think it can be related to the lack of games to be honest as people think what's the point of buying a shirt if England are only going to play at home once a year, and I think the same could be said as to why so few people take the international scene seriously.

Look at how many games the football side play and how many the RL side do, and I think that begins to answer why there's an entirely different culture. That said, I'd rather the inter-club banter of RL internationals than the all-out xenophobia of the football!
