....really does get on my nerves, unless I'm misinterpreting it. Stuart Fielding was a big fan of it a few years back and it's still happening up and down the league. Anyone else not like it or just me ?

Welcome to the forum! It doesn't bother me too much to be honest, purely because all teams do it

ALL WIGAN SUPPORTERS MUST
1. Wigan must not win a hard fought struggle in appalling conditions, nilling the opposition and scoring 16 points, because that makes for the worst CC Final of all time.
2. Wigan must not get to the final by nilling the opposition and scoring 70 points with a display of attacking rugby because that makes for the worst CC Semi Final of all time.
3. Wigan players must not consider winning the game but devote all their efforts to entertaining neutral fans. Just like all the other teams do...
4. Wigan fans must not mention winning the CC Final, as that is arrogant.
5. Wigan fans must not mention winning the Challenge Cup 19 times, or indeed any other Trophies, as that is very arrogant indeed.
6. Wigan fans must not attend actual games. It is now compulsory to stay at home, watch on TV and moan about how low attendances at games are.: |

Lets hope Hohia doesn't cop another one then. |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Leigh have been doing it all season, if somebody did it to me I'd happily do it back with interest
Shows a complete lack of respect to your fellow players |

Let me get this straight.
You get your knickers in a twist on the Flower thread, because Flower reacted to a forearm the the jaw. Then you say you would have no issues in belting someone for rubbing your hair?

Flower knocked Hohia to the ground with a shot to the back of the head prior to his retaliation
I said I would do the same back but with interest, I wonder what the response would be from Ben Flowers for such an action?

I would hardly call it a "shot" he did knock him out the way during Hohias attempt to obstruct him, but that happens dozens of times in every single game of RL.
Regardless you are still showing what a hypocrite you are, whilst trying to make yourself look like the big man.
Make your mind up mate. Either condone violence or try pretend that you are some sort of tough guy.
Cant have it both ways |

Hitting somebody in the back of the head? How ' brave '? |

Your avoiding the question
You have condoned violence if some one messed up your mullet, but not if they take you out, off the ball with an elbow to the head?
It makes no sense whatsoever?
fair enough though
Pointless trying to get any sort of lucid answer from a total mouth breather such as your good self.

Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -
"You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more"
Utter disgusting abusive remark from a keyboard warrior:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44308.gif |

I don't like it to be honest. We had Hooper who used to do it all the time and it's in bad taste IMO.
It happens a lot these days and it does irritate me.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

I'll admit that that particular practise annoys me and I wish they would cut it out of the game.
Another one that quite simply baffles me is players congratulating each other when an opponent knocks on, under no pressure whatsoeve from that team's players.
Some kind of self-congratulation for something that happened without ANY input from anyone on that team.
I see this a lot from Warrington and don't understand it one little bit.

It's just gamesmanship.
Do anything to gain an advantage, wether it's congratulating a knock on, or a sly forearm(if you can get away with it).
It happens in all sports, at all levels.
Pros should know better than to react.
