Quote ="Phuzzy"You do realise that the exact same things are being levelled at your own fans/players, so are you saying Leeds are scum too? In fact you should listen to the Shaun Wane interview on Wigan TV about the treatment and abuse he received from Leeds fans after the game. Unlike yourself though he doesn't make a big deal about it and, rather, says it adds to the experience of playing there and why he likes the Leeds games.
As one of your own says: maybe you just have a lot of growing up still to do.'"
What I did definitely see is Wigan fans throwing things at Leeds players during a game, something that I have yet to see any Wigan fan admit is absolutely disgraceful. If there is no retrospective action either to the individuals or to the Wigan club, it sets a very dangerous precedent.
I did not see Leeds fans trowing things (feel free to prove me wrong), they were calling Wigan players divers and cheats at the end, but nothing worth writing home about, if any Leeds fans did throw things at players they should be banned for life from Headingly.
Fans shout things at opposition players all the time, its part of what makes the great tribal atmosphere you can get in RL games and I have no problem at all with Wigan fans shouting things at Leeds players, it is expected.
What is not expected is for players so shout things back or scream in fans faces. SO'L and Leuluai showed their sportsmanship and class by how they acted when being escorted to the dressing room, a few of your other players should try following their example.
EDIT: before you say it I know that plenty of Leeds players have intentionally wound up opposition fans in the past (essentially what Tomkins and Bateman were doing), this imo is unsportsmanlike but okay, what I saw from a couple of Wigan players was a lot more aggressive and in close proximity, it just stood out to me as classless and unprofessional behaviour
