Some great tries in that match. The second Preston one was simply top class.

Excellent game that, thanks to the Wire fan for posting that. What a spectacular own goal!

It's funny looking back at the "semi-pro" era (in fact most of the players playing that day were full time or close to full time professionals) just how good some of those players look (if only we had a centre like Kevin Iro today!) and not just the Wigan players. Mike Gregory was a special player too. Has the game really moved forward all that much since then?

Nice one Site Admin, glad to see free speech and banter isn't screened to please its audience!!

Oh yeah. Obviously it was the admin

As a Warrington fan you should think twice before criticising the Moderators on this board.

On this board the Mods understand and apply the principles of the AUP, which is why the Wigan board is largely free of the kind of offensive comments that regularly appear on the Warrington board (and because while all clubs have a minority of fans whose behaviour is poor, Wire seem to have attracted a disproportionately large group of badly behaved fans).

You only have to think back to the fiasco on that board when the Wire coach made an unfortunate comparison between Gareth Thomas and Joel Monaghan's treatment by RL fans and the homophobic comments from Wire fans that were allowed to remain on the site - there was some genuinely offensive stuff on there, which the Mods did nothing to remove. It wasn't just Wigan fans warning of the inappropriate nature of the comparison, Saints fans and others also posted to that effect but these comments were greeted with abuse from many Wire fans, which remained on the Wire board unedited by the Wire mods.

So, if you're worried about censorship then I suggest you contact the Wire mods and ask them to apply a little more screening to the Wire board rather than having a go at the Wigan mods for what would appear (if your allegation is correct) to have been a humorous edit of a link in your post.

I never get why Wire went for 2 when they were 8-0 down in that game, boos would ring round the stadium if they did that now
