No one else has done a player already out on the deck.

Saints had two players betting against their own team a few years back, no other SL team has beaten that record either.

I realise that the above is completely irrelevant, but then again so was your comment.

Here's what I've picked up from a few threads over the last couple of days:

If the stats don't show that Wigan are dirty, the stats are wrong.
If Wigan players havent been penalised any more than other players, it's because they get away with things.
If opposition players don't get injured any more against Wigan than other teams, it's not from lack of trying on Wigan's part.

In short, even if all the evidence point to the contrary people are still going to claim we are a dirty team.

Looks like Wigan need to bring in Mr Bailey and Mr Ablett, to give lessons in good manners and behaviour.... Naughty naughty Wigan... Looks to me like perceptions have gotten Wigan cited, but that a cold look in the light of day, found us not quite as bad as presumed...

Well in this case they clearly are.

Not to let a few facts get in the way of anything but....

doing a quick few sums from the SL stats page (regular season only I think - it's a bit sp on dates). Using a little from the old fairplay method (pen = 1pt, RC = 4pts, YC = 3pts)

Yes, clearly, and you haven't brought any facts to the table, you have just done the usual lazy perception thing, and poured scorn on other peoples to suit your agenda.

I don't mind if you find my stats to be incorrect, but at least do me the honour of actually trying to refute them with some of your own.

Please forgive me if I find it hard to take you seriously when you are too lazy to back up your own perceptions.

Theres a difference between biff and what flower did.

Go on then, show us how they are wrong.

Don't just post what you like to think is correct, show us how they are wrong by presenting your own.

It's seems like you find it very easy to ridicule other people's stats, but bloody impossible to come up with any of your own.

You've lost me there mate.

I don't have to, 2 others already did.

Are they right when they confirm what you want to believe, by any chance?

Whereas disputing someone's fact with no backup whatsoever........
