No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

The highlighted bit is the most laughable part of your post (although the rest is sadly amusing as well)
As I recall, Wigan were never found guilty of breaking the cap - Only of breaking "The spirit of the cap", which was never previously listed as an offence by the RFL, simply for doing something that was common practise in other sports.
As for Cas - well you were found guilty of ACTUALLY breaking the cap in not one but TWO different leagues.
Well done, Mr Bitter.
Enjoy your off-season.

| The saddest thing was actually Cas fans chanting "Wigan's a poophole, I want to go home"....
...to Castleford - really?  |

That doesn't make any sense. |

I've asked many people why they hate Wigan, and I never get an answer that works. Thuggish? I don't know the stats but I'd be interested to see how many teams have had more players banned in recent seasons than Wigan. Cas are the 4th most penalised team in the league, so, you know, your discipline isn't good. SW is no more or less of a gobe than other coaches and they all say stupid things. He's more in the spotlight than 2/3s of SL coaches so cockroaches like you can get your quotes ready.
As for the cap, you've already had that handed to you twice, so I'd shut up about that.
Literally all I can think of is the success in the past. You lot all grew up seeing Wigan win everything, and that's stuck even though Wigan aren't winning everything, that resentment is almost passed on in the DNA. Sam way everyone hates Man Utd. They're one of, if not the biggest "brand" in their sport and a lot of people naturally hate the big ones.

| I thought this thread was about me catching my new shoes on the edge and falling up the steps in the west stand and spilling a complete pint of beer over myself.
I literally made a complete fool of myself as i accelerated as fast as i could trying to delay the inevitable.
Looked up and about 2000 people were laughing their heads of at my misfortune
I must have looked like a right bell  |

Worse than me a few ago. After a game I ran across the road (near Burger King), tripped and landed flat out, spreadeagled! Not my finest moment.

| I hurt my foot midweek (a form of tendonitis I think called turf toe) and not moved from bed for 3days.
I got dropped off near front of West stand about 5.30 and it took me 35 mins to hobble and get to my seat in east stand using a home made walking stick.
Not my finest moment and would much preferred a full pint poured over me!  |

Not good pal, hope it gets sorted
Though it took me nearly an hour to walk home from the Boars head last night. I only live in Springfield...
Wish i could put that down to a dodgy foot.....

Rugby league isn't football; for me it's a bit more complicated than that. Players put their bodies on the line for our entertainment, and I don't see a contradiction between cordially disliking certain teams (say Brisbane Broncos, or Leeds), whilst still admiring and respecting some of the players (like Hunt, Milford, Hall and Burrow).
It's like that thing about, when your team is playing your arch-rivals in a big match, are you glad if their star player is injured and can't play? I'm not. I want us to beat their full-strength team.

I just thought the Cas fans were having a laugh and some fun for their final game of the season and there is nowt wrong with that from where I come from.
Some of vitriol though on this thread confirms my view that Kelvin Skerrett must have gone out with some their mam's whilst their dad's were doing a shift down the pit. |

Oh we laughed when Ryan Hall nicked it at the death to deny the Goons the LLS.
Karma for the 'shield back in the box' incident at our place last season.
Boot now firmly on the other foot.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

We got a home semi, we don't need a hub cap to end any trophy droughts and I think everyone at Wigan is happy enough that the best side over the course of the season got the LLS.
The biggest prize of the season is still to play for and if that goes tits up for us in similar circumstances feel free to take the mick.
Ps Leeds last second try got Saints a harder game then playing Wigan by the way! Laugh at that. |

23 - 20 - 4
Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Leeds well deserved the shield and the circumstances in which it happened vindicated the marketing mantra (and was great for the sport). No complaints here.

Exactly right.
Only downside of what happened is that what would have been two decent crowds in the semis will now become one as our game will struggle to break 8,000. |
