Certainly not the worst 80 minutes I've ever had to endure at Belle Vue

How dare you suggest such a thing

The mods on the pie board are pathetic, I was banned because I had the temerity to criticise Sam's defending capabilities.


As for today's result

Strangely I always say wait 10 games until you make a judgement about sides.
For the first 5 or 6 games everyone was saying Leeds will come good eventually, that Widnes were playing really well, that Cas looked class and Wigan would be as strong as ever.

Well 10 games in and Catalan have kind of sneaked up into 2nd, Wigan have just had their points difference obliterated. And from Wakefield up, 3 games covers the top 9 teams.

It's a competitive league and the traditionally lower ranked teams are making sure that they don't make the same mistake as last season and get cut adrift too early in the season.

It's very unlikely we would knock off Catalan by 40 points but if we did we would be 2nd next weekend.
I think this season will be another case of large swings between teams as on their day most sides can beat any other side.

Even people in war torn Syria are celebrating Wakefield's win....

They might not look it, but the Wakefield fans are jubilant....





(I'll stop now)

It just wasn't the Wigun wayicon_smile.gif

Couldn't put the scoreline out of there minds as well having to travel back for 62 mins on the M62-0, averaging 62mph.

Bet the ban button is glowing red over there...

It gets better. They are so horrified at losing a game that they have to release a video explaining it. The ego on that club is something else.

www.wiganwarriors.com/news/2016- ... s-reflects All that information and the virus wasn't given an actual name or the symptoms of the said virus and it's effects. The interviewer only used flu as an example of a virus which Rads went along with. He didn't confirm or deny it was flu.

Could have been a Wanes Virus were people get physically sick and weak at the knees when given bullying demands etc. I,ve known gorilla's to get it when being imposed by the dominating male of the tribal pack.

I also asked the below on the Wigan board

I doubt Wigan will be using NHS care and will have private medical insurance which would probs cover illness. If so many had the virus would not be irresponsible of Wigan to not at least find out the name of the virus? If they had to inform the RFL I doubt they would just accept the word virus as a reason? Wouldn't they require medical evidence so they could exercise dispensation for the salary cap? If not then that's pretty serious as every club will start the play the virus card just to increase the playing roster.

Some valid points there. Just mentioned that on the Wigoon Board, so Im expecting the "ban button" to be executed this morning.

in the interview they just keep saying Virus... the interviewer used the example of flu and Rad's just ran with it, he didn't really confirm or deny it it was flu.

Some very irresponsible players all turning up to train with flu.

Surely it would have been better if they declared their health issue and stayed away from the rest of the players.

With such an inexperienced back line I think Wigan should have gone boring, five drives and a kick and hoped for errors. I can understand the lack of precision in the attacking side of the game when you are missing four of your biggest metre makers, but that should not transfer to the defensive/ tackling side of the game. I hope Radlinski goes in to the young players and reminds them of his first team debut. On a lighter note, my shower new gel appears to be working.

again no one in that interview actually said it was flu. flu was just an example the interviewer used as a virus
