I think you’re the type of bloke who loves to dish it out but can’t take it back. The type that revelled in Smith and Smithies rubbing Welsby’s head and screaming in his face last year but then gets annoyed because Welsby goads the Wigan fans after they taunt him all game. Throwing beer onto the Saints players for celebrating tries was very classy from your fans. Some kids hit with pint pots too but let’s blame Welsby eh.

I didn’t have a problem with Tomkins giving it to us in his Wigan days. He was a class act, took it and dished it out. Remember the V signs? Didn’t bother me in the slightest.

He shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as Sam Tomkins. He’s a good player and could be a very good one but Tomkins was smashing out numbers Welsby could only dream of at 21/22. He put 25+ try’s and 25+ assists on the board on a regular basis.

Being a bit of a nob at times is probably the closest comparison on an individual basis.

Spot on.

Welsby is a decent player, no qualms about that. I don’t like any player irrespective of their team that play the big I am and says he detests opposition teams. He’s not a young lad. He’s got 4 or so of first team rugby. I just expect better from experienced players.

He’s not said that to be fair. I assumed it due to his reactions when he plays against them.

However on reflection “detests” and “despises” are two very strong words and I don’t think that’s genuinely the case.

Ah! You've decided something have you? Do you even know me in the slightest to be deciding what I am? I can take it just fine. I also condemn the beer throwing idiots as I did at the game. Where, exactly did I "blame Welsby" for anything? I'd love to see the quote. What? There isn't one and you're just making it up? Surely not Stu. You're clearly a decent individual who "loves" to see people "despising" others so that can't be true. Do you "love" a nice bit of homophobia or racism as well or is your bigotry solely reserved for Wigan fans?

My issue is with you, not Welsby.


*BTW. Nice to see your empty words acted on again. I thought you were walking? Apparently, that's gone the way of your "not posting, win or lose" (sic). Why am I not surprised?

Ah I don’t know you but now I’m racist and homophobic? Quality comeback.

I’ve also just applauded Wigan on Twitter for their Daniel Anderson gesture. I live in Wigan and have a lot of Wigan mates. There is a rivalry and at times emotions get high. Personally I like the sub plot of how Welsby and Makinson react to playing Wigan. It’s similar to Rooney when he was at Utd playing against Everton in the first couple of years.

To be fair nearly everyone apart from you and a couple of others have moved on and have gone back to discussing rugby again. That’s the part I like about being on a Wigan forum.

I tell you what we’ll do Phuzzy if you like….

You PM me and I’ll give you my Twitter username and Red Vee one. You can see for yourself what type of bloke I am. Naturally according to you they will all be homophobic and racist of course

Find the ones where Rogues Gallery was being called all sorts on Red Vee and I’ve jumped in on his behalf. Or the ones where I’ve praised Wigan for various initiatives.

You must think I’m some sort of Neanderthal knuckle dragger or something.

Also be very careful making references to someone you don’t know on a public forum being homophobic or racist. I’ll argue with you all day long but there’s a line. And you’ve just crossed it.

Read the post. Unlike your own post I didn't say you were anything. I asked the question of whether your "love" of someone "despising" others extended beyond Wigan fans. A fair question seeing it was YOU who admitted to "loving" someone "despising " others. It's YOU who crossed the line in that post. You even admit as much in a later post. Your response? To put this to bed by apologisin....oh! Wait a minute. That's not right is it? You decide instead to post telling me what I am! Then you go on to accuse me of continuing this when I responded to your ridiculous post!

You're a hypocrite! Accusing others of doing exactly what you're doing. Why are you still not walking Stu? Are you not a man of your word or the honourable one that you claim?

BTW. I think this should be taken to PM as it's detailing the thread. I'll send you that PM.

Welsby being compared to Tomkins....... ha ha ha. Not even in the same district. Sam at his age was a better player on one arm and one leg. Welsby is completely overrated and the Sky Sports crew are responsible for that. The same they did with Trueman. The same they do with Smithies and Knowles the thug. In fact Welsby was only the 4th best full back on the pitch on Friday. He is nowhere near Lomax and not remotely close to Field or French and never will be. He has put a big target on his back with his cockiness and it was delightful to see him get absolutely skinned by French 2 minutes after giving it the big one for shoving Miski over the line with the illegal second effort. There is a long way to go yet. Hopefully we can play Saints again while they are at 50% and we play the best we have ever played in our history.

Haha someone’s bitter. What a post lmao

Is your inbox full? I've tried a few times to reply to your PM and it is stuck in my outbox

Hi Stu. It's come through. I'm having the same problem.

Historic?
