If I was a fev fan I would want to see players like Finch, Richards, Leuluai etc play at my home ground.

| Quote: gingdong "Everyone keeps talking about the challenge cup and how to stop the big scores when super league teams take on the championship teams. The answer is hitting us all in the face when Featherstone play Wigan next Friday Wigan are allowed 5 overseas players and Rovers just 1 in the same competition, unbelievable. So come on Shaun wane you seem like a decent man so play the game, just play 1 import against us the same as were allowed. lets all play to the same rules in the same competition you already have the advantage of 1.3 million from sky to our 100k that surely must be enough do you want us to play with 1 arm tied behind our backs as well?
Come on take us on with just the 1 overseas player'"
I agree it isn't fair that we are allowed to play 5 overseas players while you can only play one however this is not the fault of Wigan RLFC this rule is due to the RFL and so I think you should complain to them. Shaun Wane is employed as head coach of our club and is judged on the results he gets with the team, due to this I would expect him to exploit any advantage available to him over any team we play, so with this in mind do you really expect him to play just one of our overseas players and therefore cause disadvantage to himself and the team? |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

We'll play with one overseas player if Featherstone agree to play the game on a flat full size pitch.

| What a ridiculous argument by Fev fans.
First off - is there actually a cup rule that says they can only have 1 overseas player or is this just the reality because the league rules they are subject to mean that they only have one overseas player so are effectively unable to field more than one for a cup match? If it's just the latter, then what they are saying is they want to impose their rules on SL clubs.
Secondly - this has to be the most ludicrous example of the dumbing down, level playing field nonsense that afflicts RL. I expect a Brett Kenny post is imminent.  |

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 |

| Quote: gingdong "Iv been going on about this for years as have many other people, they keep mentioning the lop sided scorelines in the cup, no one seems to mention on any rugby programme that there are different rules for super league clubs to Championship clubs. Super league clubs are allowed 5 overseas players and Championship clubs 1 in the same cup. It is a massive unfair advantage to super league clubs as though they need it any way, all we want is parity each club plays to the same set of rules, is this really too much to ask?'"
So shall i go see your OP on the Cas board re the same subject? Or is it just because it's us... Lemme guess. |

There are no rules saying Wigan have to play 1 overseas player in the challenge cup, unless that comes into fruition we will play whoever the hell we want

Wigan should set the standard and put 100 on Rovers.

God knows.
Wigan aren't going to field only one overseas player unless the rules are changed so we'll end it here. |
