How so? Proving yourself over the course of the whole season deserves some recognition .

Leeds have faced loads of sh*t over the past few seasons when they were champions and i've had my own pop at them for some of their tactics and attitudes but i've got to say now I understand to a point.

All this tripe that keeps being talked about comes with the title of superleague champions and you can't help but smile especially when somebody as unprofessional as Paul Cooke is joining in. Why the hell does he think anybody would be interested in his opinion? He questions Sam Tomkins attitude and says he should concentrate on using his talent instead of trying to con the ref.........well thats rich because maybe if he'd have concentrated on his talent and kept himself fit instead of getting pis*ed all the time he may have just about been good enough to lace Sams boots.

Laughable.

I couldn't agree less! The only reason the league leaders shield (or minor premiers as it's pehaps more accurately referred to in Aus) isn't more significant is purely down to tv and nothing to do with sport! I have many non-rugby league fans who simply cannot understand how the playoffs are more important than the table as decided by the games played over the whole season. Despite being a fan of the playoff system, I have to agree with their viewpoint. It's less than 20 years since the 'league leaders' was the way the ultimate prize of 'champions' was decided. To suddenly reduce it to near insignificance so we can whore our sport to tv says more about us as fans than it does about the achievement of finishing at the summit after every team has played every other (at least) twice! Maybe we should stop being Sky's little lap dogs and show proper sporting credence to what is ACTUALLY the major accomplishment of the season. It in no way detracts from the playoffs to recognise the significance of finishing at the top of the table. Shame on us, as fans, that we don't.

Quote: Mr.Side "I read this Paul Cooke column yesterday, and still cant believe he is telling the young player of the year 2009 and 2010, a reigning super league champion and one of, if not England and Wigans most important player to concentrate on his rugby.

Sorry Paul, but come on - when did you ever concentrate on your rugby?'"

Perhaps he should go and coach Barrow. ( sorry any Barrow fans )

Quote: pondmonster "The rugby gods have said, let it be so. Thou shalt be sent a Messiah, a saviour with a foreign tongue, who is wise beyond his years, a visionary that everyone shalt worship.

Other followers of other sects will try to derail our faith, constantly moaning about how good our religion is. They will proclaim damnation of our good defence, of our outstanding attack, all whilst watching the paint dry.

They wilt accuse us of the chicken wing, and of the play acting of St. Sam, and of the forward pass, and of the Wigan walk, and of anything as long as we’ve won.

All sorts of jealousy shalt spring forth, but we will never stray from the path. For Wigan are power and the glory forever and ever.

Amen.'"


Does this mean Phil Clarke is a prophet of the church of Wigan? Or is he just a prophet for all of the Rugby Gods faith but not affiliated to the church of Wigan? icon_razz.gif

I agree, I was always frustrated when we finished first and lost the GF (twice in a row) and never got a mention, its clearly the more difficult achievement and more impressive IMO. It's stupid that fans of teams that finish 1st and don't win the playoff series are forced to consider it a poor season.

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg

Ah, the all seeing rugby gods noticed you have mentioned the disciple of Clarke. Clarke dost spreadeth the gospel according to St. Rugby of the league. He is well versed in the 10 commandments :

1. Thou shalt not cheat (Danny McGuire)
2. Thou shalt try to remain unbiased when discussing Wigan. (Phil Clarke)
3. Thou shalt not cryeth over spilt milk, nor eateth the sour grapes. (Richard Agar)
4. Thou shalt watcheth the paint dry. (John Kear)
5. Thou shalt not buy the pinketh home shirt (Wigan fans)
6. Thou shalt not succumb to the power of the dark side. (Kyle Eastmond & Chris Ashton)
7. Thou shalt return with thy tail betweenth thy legs. (Lee Smith)
8. Thou shalt use twitter or facebook only when engaging thy brain. (Ryan Bailey)
9. Thou shalt keep clear of all 4 legged beasts. (Joel Monaghan)
10. Thou shalt not win a “home” game this season (St Helens).

On these 10 commandments hangeth all the laws and the prophets.

Let us give thanks to our Lord Michael, for he taketh the team and maketh it great. For Wigan are the power, and the glory for ever and ever.

Amen.

The only fans that dismiss the League leaders are fans of teams that haven't won it.
