Fast learner?

Got to add, prior to Headingly I had NEVER seen any team perform like the leeds players did, they set the standard that day.

Considering what he actually did - a cynical professional foul I was quite disturbed by the deafening boo's all around me in the East Stand as the poor lad was being stretchered off. This isnt Football and RL players only go off on stretchers when there really injured in my experience. Bad form.

well said

Some right prats on here

The rugby family never wishes an injury on anyone.....

sub section B

unless he's cheating then it justified and warranted we can all smile and the worlds a happy place because the great god of karma has spoken ???????

Sad very sad, always thought Wigan fans had more class

Great post Cruncher.

Wish Danny a speedy and full recovery, hate to see any player get injured regardless of how it occurred.

As you said, it's only a game and we're all RL fans.

Some of the stuff in the past 24 hours, from both our own, and from other clubs fans has made me seriously question if I want to keep reading and posting on this board.

And most do mate if you read the thread and see the many who wish him a full recovery. Please don't be like some of the other oppo fans that just read what they want to read and selectively respond, i've always thought you were a classy poster on here.

off topic - where can i find a bigger pic of your avatar?

Agreed. Without trawling through all the $hite of the last 24hrs, how many Wigan posters actually commented about wishing him injury? I know of two on here (who after having thought about it apologised), two other comments were links to Twitter and nothing to do with RLFANS as far as I could see.

Now compare that to what 100+ regular Wigan posters on here?
Doesn't make it right, but hardly the majority.

Well said Matty, would be nice to get some credit rather than just be vilified for a small number of ill chosen posts.

Good lord!

The mind ain't the only thing that boggles

Glad to hear most Wigan fans not being glad an opponent got hurt. I'd like to think Leeds fans are targeting some of the individual comments rather than Wigan fans as a whole. One thing's for sure - had the roles been reversed and it had been Tomkins at Headingley, you would have sadly seen a few Leeds fans revelling in an injury on these boards.

It seems to me that every club has a fair few idiots who delight in talking about 'hating' players (see the numerous ridiculous threads about Ryan Bailey as an example but there are sadly many others) and hoping to see them get beaten up/injured on the field. Its about time all that sort of talk was cooled off IMO. I especially have no time for the 'I never hope to see anyone get injured BUT....' brigade.

Anyway, its unfortunate that this incident has thrown the spotlight on Wigan fans specifically - as ever there are plenty of people happy to tar you all with the same brush. Well done those Wigan fans speaking sense, and also well done to those who have apologised for comments they regretted - unlike some people I can accept that sometimes the heat of the moment isn't the best time to log on to these boards, and apologising even in print isn't easy sometimes.

Me.
