[quote="headhunter":lnxdgxk2]Union people are idiots. They almost universally accept that league is a better, faster game played by better athletes, yet for some reason they continue to disregard and belittle it. That game is tedious as hell from start to finish. If he'd ever played or even bothered to give more than a fleeting chance to league he would realise that the game is far more 'technical' than Union ever could be. Booting the ball into touch, scrummaging and forming rucks and mauls aren't areas that involve any skill, technique or mental capacity whatsoever. These are clumsy, outdated facets of the game that are also extremely uninteresting to watch and thus have to be defended in some way by people who are too prejudiced to see the truth.[/quote:lnxdgxk2]:

Quote: TheElectricGlidingWarrior "It looked more like 10k, sounded like 10.'"


The crowds looked bigger than that for both of our recent CC games at Sheddingly v Leeds (excluding the one that clashed with the cricket), yet hetheringtons calculator gave sub 10k crowds on that occasion! Makes you wonder with 50:50 gate receipt shares.

Me thinks the RFL have done the opposite with this one to make it look more credible, in the same way as there was never 9.5k on in Montpellier IMO.

Quote: 100% Warrior "

Maybe it's an over-reaction, but tonight (and arguably in the English game in general) something was tragically and emphatically wrong. Amateur play, powder puff defence, as much bottle as Audley Harrison and a generic p*ss poor attitude. Thats my opinion anyway.'"


you could tell a game 2 days later was on their minds aswell..

the good old RFL!

Game would have been better if they'd played on a free weekend their heads will have been on the SL games.

I also agree with the cheering georges try though I think that's more of a thong about George being so liked and likable rather than simply being wigan over England IMO.

The only reason I cheered Georges try is because -

1. It was class, he took 4 players out with one step icon_lol.gif
2. The treatment the Tomkins brothers got off 'England' fans.

Wigan > England.

Quote: Odemwingie "After last night though despite loving the success of the game, I fell out of love with England RL a little. I don't want to be a part of it when we have fans like that, I won't enjoy going to the games. I would rather be going to Wigan games where we support the team for at least 65 mins (before any other fans get a joke in!).
Come 4nations time I will probably be right behind England but right now I'm just more bothered about Wigan. I have always cared more about international rugby but after last night Im just not as bothered as I was, I still want to watch it and enjoy the rugby but as for supporting England over Wigan, I think last night switched my views slightly.
Saying that, I love that we are hated! I think it's brilliant! I can't wait for the Leeds game at home.'"

But... it wasn't that long ago that Wigan fans were booing their own off the pitch. I'm not going to let a minority ruin watching my country for me just as I didn't and won't let the moaning twonks at Wigan ruin supporting my town, my team.

Would never happen. We cant just rely on the RFL to try and make international RL a success in Britain, the fans have got to help also.'"



I remember a certain United song that had Ronaldo mocking England.

Back on topic and in regards to the game I think based on a purely playing perspective the Exiles idea worked.

The game last night was 20 times better for us than what the French games have been.

I just hope the RFL really stick with the plan and let it grow from here. Next season let's play it somewhere like Wire or the new grounds at Saints or Salford and see what we can do.

It's an idea that works.

I was trying to say I won't let anyone whether by way of booing, whistling or cat calling stop me watching my country or the club I love.
