Well how else would you like me to describe them? Other than by their one collective similarity and the thing they are both purporting to represent and defend?

How about "a few knee-jerking fans".

that wouldnt be really specific enough would it. Considering we apparently have to be more specific.

how about,

[iHe probably knew not to name names, because look at the hissy fit from a fair majority of Wigan fans to comment on the subject, with very few in opposition, though this may or may not be representative of the entire fan base of Wigan Warriors. when they werent named in something they are adamant they dont do. Imagine the collective apoplexy if he did name you.[/i

that accurate enough?

Not really, and even then only if you want to say 100 words when a few will do.

I might share that sentiment without the "winning" being included. I gained no pleasure from Wigan winning. I was as ambivalent to it as I was any other team, bar Leeds.

now now, you dont know that this is 'a few knee jerk fans' anymore than anyone else knows its a majority. Im guessing you havent conducted any kind of survey, so if your going to get antsy when i generalise that it was 'wigan' then you wouldnt be hypocritical enough to actively want me to generalise the other way would you?

No need to conduct any survey, I've seen enough posts by the people before to know the score.

To take this little ditty to the end game, based on what someone has said on this thread I could quite easily say:-

"Leeds think their third SL title in a row was a fluke, because they didn't win it the following year." See, dead easy this generalisation thing isn't it?

Playing beautiful rugby league is a must and winning a game is a bonus. It’s about winning and losing games gracefully. As long as Danny Buderus throws at least one magical pass in a game, then I don’t care of its outcome.

you, see that isnt a generalisation. Its just making something up. There hasnt been any posts, not even one never mind the majority of posts on the subject which say this.

All you have done is made one huge extrapolation based on one persons view about something completely different.

So maybe its not as easy as you first thought. Thats maybe why you have got yourself all confused twice now on this here thread.

whats funny is you did make a generalisation [iNo need to conduct any survey, I've seen enough posts by the people before to know the score.[/i but decided to make something else up.

All I've done is exactly what you did - so all you've done is sum yourself up there, which was my point all along. Knitting fog is easy isn't it - but at the same time utterly tedious.

all I can say about the wigan fans reaction is "they protest tomuch methinks". as smokey says if they truly beleive they played the most artractive Rugby then they would have ignored the man who runs the most successful rugby league in Britain (possibly the world) it's solvent does not depend on a sugar daddy and has been moderatly successful? please feel free to suggest another club thats better I will of course bow to anybody else opinion as being a Whino i know nothing and was probably born in Barcelona

The tasteful comments about danny mcguires injury have returned

No style on show today, only one up rugby, Bradford style.

i'm not going back on their forum,what they are saying about Danny is disgraceful.If I do i'll say something I will regret

Small town, small minds, vicious little old women supporters too, its a hen-pecked small town club with a massive chip since their fall from grace, who still believe that the salary cap was only introduced to shaft them and their midget bookie rule-bending owner.

insular hicks from the sticks

Batleyrhino makes a very good point in saying that all teams in SL need to improve the quality of both defence and attack.
The England squads we have sent down under for the World Cup and the recent Four Nations were awful.
One problem being that every single player played at a standard lower than they are capable of.
Super League does not appear to prepare players for International Quality Rugby League becuase the standard is nowhere near good enough.
GH would be far better asking for an improvement throughout SL to both aspects of the game as it is that improvement we are desperately in need of.

no, you didnt, you somehow managed to fail in making a simple generalisation.

and yes knitting fog is quite easy, and tedious, a little like making pointless distinctions without differences
