I don't know about Graham spitting his dummy out. Looking on this board I think it is most of you lot who are spitting their dummies out. I don't know whether it is sour grapes because it is not Lockers or what. Get behind your England team and cheer them on. Club bias does not come into it now. We are all part of one team - Team England.

Well said. But this is the Wigan board, so what would you expect!

And to Wigan fansmotivate[/i. With the mandate to motivate given to him, he could turn out to be a very, very good captain. Just so long as he remembers his ps and qs when around the ref.

well said lets give the lad a chance he is a great player what any body would welcome into there team and he will give 110% and lead by example

He was one of my three picks, O'Loughlin and Ellis being the others and in truth wouldn't have complained if any of those were chosen.

As I said on the other thread, it may help him discipline wise, and good luck to him. We won't win the game because Graham is the captain, but we won't lose it either because of his captaincy.

Jammer is the perfect choice, 110 percent effort every game.

As for any discipline issues, I am sure that the extra responsibility will be noted by Jammer and he will act appropriately. Now lets get behind the whole team. Come on England.

Just going to post the same thing myself. Don't know why so many wigan fans are spitting there dummy out, having a fit , want England to lose etc. etc.
Graham will give his all and as captain he will expect the rest of the team to do likewise and show some passion.

Don't have a problem with him being captain, great player who gives his all in any match. Don't think he will repeat his grand final rants when he is captain of his country and in fairness was probably only his frustration and desire to beat us that brought it out, he will have the same desire to beat the Aussies and Kiwi's but think any objections he may have will be more controlled. I wish him the best of luck and hope it brings out the best in him and in the team.

Do you have Saturday's Lotto numbers?

No problem with it being Graham tbh but 'm not a fan of some of his actions.

Jeez there are some children on these boards.

You deny he chewed his collar like a sulky bum?
Do you also deny he 'refused' to stick his head in the scrum with 90 seconds to go?
Do you deny he threw away his losers medal into the empty seating area?
Do you deny he had a mass football style tittylip with the referee.

All the attributes required of an England captain, I'm sure.

He's also whinged to the ref on several occasions in other games

Maybe but there are a lot who do know their rugby.

Can you please explain to them how you think James Roby did not replace Sam Tomkins on Saturday, or how many Superleague Grand Finals Saints have won (they did have to tell you on the Leeds board, didn't they) or our favourite one of how the pass to Meli wasn't forward on Good Friday.

If you watch it again, he actually says to the ref - Im not bothered what you say/think!

Child.

typo etc corrected
