Quote: Tricky2309 "So you don't disagree with what I say then. Glad we cleared that up.

I suspect that you'll only go out of the play offs with a whimper, whilst you and the rest of your blinkered fans (with your delusions of grandeur) claim to have lost due to inferior opposition coming to slow the game down and employing "rough house tactics"'"


how can the biggest, most famous and most successful rugby league team in the world possibly have delusions of grandeur?!?! icon_lol.gif

You just proved my point. Your not the biggest team in the world in terms of average crowds, your success is largely based on running a professional team when the rest of the league was semi-pro and you only avoided being relegated from SL when you cheated to stay up.

As soon as the playing field was levelled up via the salary cap, your success began to diminish - your not in the top three UK clubs for success in the SL era.

You're right. I now wish I was a supporter of Wakefield Trinity Scaredycats.

Biggest team/club in the world? Don't be silly. The Brisbane average attendance is probably double Wigan's.

Like comparing Wigan to Hull KR.

Ok but we are the most successfull British Rugby League Club in History theres no arguing with that one, i wonder where Wakefield rank on that scale???? I bet your bottom dollar there are teams in the championship who have a better history than Wakey, and lets not forget we are the joint record holding club for the most wins in the world club challenge and the only one ever to go over to Austrailia and win in this most prestigious of competitions, sorry if youve never heard of it Wakey fans i wouldnt expect you too looking at your incredibly bare honours list.

It's bad times for your club im afraid when your sitting below a woeful Widnes Vikings side in the super league table!
Best of luck your team needs skip fulls of it, i say skip because it's probably a term you understand going of recent vists to Wakefield! a014.gif a014.gif icon_lol.gif a014.gif a014.gif d040.gif Let's just say ive never seen as many boarded up windows in my life, apparently the window cleaners go round in wakefield with a sander. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

It was always a level playjng field. You just couldnt be bothered to play at that level and had to have the sport brought down to your level due to the lack of effort required in putting in the hard work required to reach that level.

There where no rules saying only wigan could turn pro. You just couldnt be bothered putting in the hard work. You would rather come withthe whole woe is me and its not fair.

We were both crap in 06 one club got stuck in with the hard work and won a championship the other didnt and is still languishing at the bottom of the table. Why is that now we have a "level" playing field?

True support is when your average attendance increases dramatically during difficult times. Try it some time.

Or maybe not. By the way how did Wakefield officials enjoy the recent Super League best practice seminar....oh yes, they didn't as they couldnt be bothered to turn up. (Along with Cas, Hudds & Bradford).

Ship up or ship out! You've only had a hundred years!

We have increased our attendances dramatically in the last few years but wouldn't expect you to notice anything that goes on outside of Wigan, the self proclaimed home of the worlds biggest, most famous and most successful rugby league team.

As for the best practice seminar I am suprised Wigan attended unless you were the presenters telling everyone how great you are and how everyone shud do what you say. It's a certain arrogant quality Wigan fans have in abundance.

Oh and if everyone shapes up or ships out to the levels you no doubt require, you will be playing in a 3 or 4 team league

This post sums up why I can safely say the majority of fans in RL hate Wigan. Nothing to do with jealousy over your past success but the sheer arrogance and contempt with which you look down on everyone else. Yet in my experience half of your fans haven't got a clue about RL your just along for the ride (you seem to fit nicely into this category).

As for your comment about Wakefield, I forgot that Wigan was the UK equivalent to Beverley Hills. I for one can say I would only be too happy if people as clueless as you don't bother to visit Wakefield.

Keep talking about the past, cos as I said in a previous message, in the SL era your not even top 3.

Quote: Tricky2309 "Obviously nothing thought of the mellars incident by the disciplinary committee since he was not charged with anything that I have seen despite the incident being put on report.

Maybe they thought they would have to deal with Farrell putting the knee into poore before he got put on his arris if they decided to do owt to mellars.

Sad that the majority of u can't accept your as bad as any one else when it comes to high shots and slowing the play the ball down.

Mind you I agree you should be more concerned about how an inferior team with one man less can score 24 points against you and have another 3 or 4 opportunities to do so.'"


Rather than go by the, always outstanding and fair, disciplinary committee I'll say that from 15 metres away it was an off-the-ball shot and probably a shoulder charge (no wrapping arm movement whatsoever). But keep your faith in the RFL.

Watched the replay a few times (for comedy value if nothing else), if Poore was upset by Faz's "knee" then he should take up another profession. To quote Ricky Hatton "It's not a tickling contest", Faz had his weight on his arms pushing off Poore's back and his knee barely bends. Then again, Poore looks like a right softie.

Wigan aren't bad for high shots. I personally think we should do more!

I'm sorry to have to tell you but the offensive team wants to play the ball quickly and the defensive team wants to slow it down. The ability to do so, to release when the ref calls, to force the defence into mistakes is what makes good teams good and Wakefield Wakefield.

As for the 24 points, I could point to inexperience or complacency, but winning 4 games in two weeks with a score of 218-50 should suffice as an answer.

Why did I bother writing this? You're from somewhere that isn't Wigan. icon_rolleyes.gif

We already have a 3-4 team league so wouldnt make much difference. How about you get your act together and put the necessary effort in as a club to makd that a 5 team league? Its not impossible we went from terrible to champions by a bit of hard work.

Because all I ever hear are excuses as to why clubs like yours cant. And how its everyone elses fault. If that makes me arrogant then so be it.

Arrogance is inherited through success.

You seem to have really big chip on your shoulder regarding Wigan. I can fully understand why, but can you just be a malcontent in the company of all the other malcontents that 'hate' Wigan and let us carry on with our merry lives?
