Your dodgy Australian inspired techniques have been well and trully exposed, and are common knowledge throughout the game, including Redhall. Hopefully the new regulations will put an end to your borefest, and the Rugby League will once again be the fast attacking spectacle that most fans would prefer to watch.

You have the option of changing, or be continually pinged by the ref before he loses patience and starts waving cards.

Simples really.'"


i will never get bored of us stifling oppossition attacks and slowing them down.

i can watch the quick play the ball and open rugby when we have possession

Quote: Coventry Warrior! "I think the coaches coming out and saying stuff is funny, shows how much they fear us. But when opposition fans jump on everything they say and believe it and try to justify it for themselves, then it becomes boring.'"


Other teams fans coming on here making puddings of themselves because they're obsessed with Wigan is just as much fun as far as I'm concerned. icon_smile.gif

Well certainly ruffled a few feathers on here! icon_lol.gif

Hope plenty of you are coming to Odsal on Sunday, should be a decent crowd and atmosphere. With the positive signs we have seen in the last couple of months I am hopeful we'll give you a run for your money.

Quote: Wigan have been accused of adopting the technique of employing dummy runners, whereby a player acts as though he is about to receive the ball when he isn't, allowing his team mates a greater chance at scoring. "Champions Wigan have been accused in the past of adopting tackle techniques that deliberately slows the play of the ball, halting the momentum of the attacking side and allowing their own defence to reorganise.'"

This is getting so tiring now. I mean whatever next, "Wigan have been accused of adopting the technique of employing dummy runners, whereby a player acts as though he is about to receive the ball when he isn't, allowing his team mates a greater chance at scoring." Bad Wigan! Bad Wigan! eusa_naughty.gif

Unfortunately (for the game) this is being taken seriously. The Cas/Wakefield game refereed by James Child last Saturday might as well have been touch rugby.

What do these whingers want? 40-30 scorelines all the time?

To me, those types of matches are much more boring than one which sees defences being tough to break down and an act of brilliance proving to be the match winner or at least a key to unlocking the defence. It's called earning your points instead being gifted them with easy yards from dummy half. How about if the RFL change the rules yet again so we have to get back 20m instead of 10m? d040.gif it's just downright bizarre.

Rugby League is a tough sport. It shouldn't be easy to make metres and score points.

Just like the early 90's.

The normal status quo is restored. Wigan vs the rest of RL, just as it should be. icon_biggrin.gif


On this issue, Madge has instructed Wigan to play to the rules, and done it very very well.

If the RL wants Wigan to change tactics then change the rules. If it doesn't then shut up and stop whinging.

Simple (not Simples).

Someone may correct me on this, but I don't recall Madge ever making such comments about an opposing side or coach?

Aaah we might chicken-wing every bugger on the pitch, bore the cr-p out of everyone, smash the salary cap, have players who cling on in the tackle - but at least we do it with dignity. icon_smile.gif

Leeds-Bradford is an airport. Wigan-Saints is a derby!!:simpsons/simp049.gif



Great to hear the opposition are getting so worried about Wigan again. Coaches cant find a way to stop us, so try to influence the game before its played. k020.gif k020.gif

If we were so boring how come we scored 197 more points than you last season and scored superb tries like Joel Tomkins v Wire, some of Amos Roberts' crackers before his injury, Sam Tomkins v Huddersfield to name but a few.

Oh and beat Leeds Rhinos 3 times on the way to Old Trafford fair and square.
