I didn't see you lot offering not to play your full time players and ex SL players against Hunslet Old Boys when you were quite happy to put 86 past them.

| So... Fev play in a league which has a different overseas player rule from the SL and some of their fans want to impose that rule on Wigan as a SL team...?
Does that mean we have to cut our players' pay the week before the game down to what we would pay them if they were subject to the SC that applies to Fev?
Nonsense.

Excellent point.
If they were playing amateurs then presumably Featherstone's players didn't get a match fee, salary that week or other payment for their services - that would be fair.

But they played the game UNDER THE SAME RULES.

In that case, why don't we also make a rule only allowing SL teams to field a team of the same value to their Championship opponents? Forget the nationality issue. If Wigan can't field Hock, Tomkins, Mossop, Farrell etc, then you'll have a real chance.
In fact, why don't we go the whole hog and prevent the SL side from training in their own expensively-built faciltiies in the weeks leading up to the game? Why don't we make them train on a local school pitch?
Why don't we also deprive them of all SL-standard training staff, including head-coach, conditioner, etc?
Why don't we pour twenty pints of ale down their gullets the night before, and make them eat fish and chips and MacDonalds all week? Then we'll have a really, really level playing field.
Do you really want to go on with this?'"
Because none of this is the point people are making.
Because it is a legitimate point people are making, the only argument people can find is to be facetious.
Make a proper argument against it and behave like an adult or don't bother or you will carry on making yourself look stupid.

No just the same rules on overseas players, you already have all the advantages under the sun do you want us to play with 1 arm tied behind our backs as well. Were allowed 1 you 5 its plain wrong

The day your team withdraws all its professionals when you play a bunch of amateurs in the Cup is the day you can lecture us.
If you actually did that, I applaud you. If you didn't, the conversation appears to be over.

No it doesn't. That's not for you to decide.
How can a team withdraw all of it's professionals when they play an amateur team? They wouldn't have any players.

There is nothing in the rules stopping Old Boys playing full time pros though is there, there is however a rule that says we can only play 1 overseas player

| This thread is living proof that there's no point arguing with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and experience wins out.
Boo bloody hoo. Super League teams have an unfair advantage, its not fair. Life isn't fair, but instead of crying about it just get on with it. Is not as if a club outside of Super League is going to win the comp anyway so trying to dictate team selection is pointless and embarrassing.

So why did we not hear one single word from you prior to the Cas game about this subject? What has changed?
