It's not due to the success you've had over the years cos you've only been champions once this century. Today proved you are small fry compared to the teams that have been doing it on a regular basis. The main difference today was a referee that didn't bend over backwards to give you everything your players cried for. Despite that the officials still missed about 9 or 10 blatant forward passes from your lot, you could have been beaten by fifty today. You got off lightly.

its due to us being so dominant when sky started to broadcast the game, remember rugby coverage didnt start with superleague

Small fry? Last Saturday must of really hurt!

What's Mr H done then?

I think i know the "trip" you mean. Lets get one thing straight, it is on nowhere near the same as Wilkin's trip against Hull KR. Morley was tackling Tomkins, and used his leg to tackle Tomkins. Was a very poor technique which he has used many times. Nithing more than a written warning needed.

Got to say I agree with you. The viciousness and hatred by some opposition fans comments on this forum towards the Wigan club and ST is really disappointing. Some contributors who I had previously considered to be balanced people (coinciding with a time when their club were winning trophies) have really shown themselves in their true colours now their particular club is not quite so dominant. It seems some fans can't handle defeat and are paranoid of a Wigan revival.

Sam kicked the ball, barely even made contact with Clarke's arm and certainly didn't touch his head.

Anyway, I've said to the Mrs today, after the past few weeks there's a small part of me wants Sam to go to RU, make his millions and stick 2 fingers back up at the small-minded bandwagon-jumping morons who are doing their best to make his life hell. I certainly wouldn't blame him if he did go, in fact I'd wish him all the best and follow his career with interest.

Genuinely, honestly and truthfully, without your pie-shaped glasses on, can you even entertain the idea that young Tomkins brings some of this on himself?

The fact that so many of you have convinced yourselves that every single criticism that's levelled at this precociously talented young man is born out of jealousy, is nothing short of astounding; it's like a cult.

The ball was only short after it had been kicked by tomkins, the camera angles conclusively showed that clarke had placed the ball on the line prior to getting the kick. I don't think there was anything wrong in the tomkins kick as there was no malice in it, just trying to prevent a try and would hope any warrington player would have the nouse to do the same.

First of all, point out where I've said it's jealousy? Oh, you can't, because I haven't. So wind yer neck in.

Yes, he infuriated people with some niggly aspects of his play but he had in fact eliminated most of them this season (trapping arms, etc), and this was widely accepted. But still the hatred and abuse continued, including the England booing. Now there's 2 fairly minor incidents in a week and the lynch mobs are circling.

I watch him every home game at the DW. When he's lining up for kick-off he stands on the dead-ball line, obviously very close to the away supporters for half the game. Almost every time some well-'ard prick (or indeed a good few of them) decides he's the man who's gonna tell little Sam just what he thinks of him. And 99.9% of the time he ignores it.

The abuse he receives is ridiculous and getting worse. Why shouldn't he just say, "screw it. I don't need this." RU crowds certainly wouldn't treat anyone in that manner.

how can you tell when a planeload of Wigan fans has landed........you can still hear the whining after the engines have stopped.

newp, was clearly short when the ball carrying arm hit the floor... Of course, when clarke moved his arm forward a few inches... Double Movement... OOPSIE! Then there was the Microphone Head (what's his name) 'try' which he pushed Josh Charnley... of course Josh has the ability to change his direction in mid-air... Let's face it, Warrington won, and were the better team today, but the score-line is not a reflection on the actual running of the game.

Pot, Kettle, Black, methinks...



Edit: Anyway, it's our bloody board! We'll whine if we want to. If you don't like it, you know where the door is!
