Serious question here Andy
I know you say don't respond etc. to trolling and I get it but this fellow is going all over other fans boards winding them up (probably more than on here) and has been for the past 6/9 months.
Can anything be done by Mods (Should it?)At what point is this picked up on (And action taken)?

Isn't he supposedly some RL journalist from Leyth or something? If so, why is he hiding behind the profile pretending to be a Wigan fan? I don't understand his agenda?

Is it to wind opposition fans up on their boards so that they retaliate on here? I'm just not getting why he wastes time and effort posting on here if he is a wind up merchant.

The guy should be castrated, assuming he has a pair that is.

Just on the right side of the line at the moment in terms of trolling, and seems to have moved on from his previous agenda of trying to get every thread to be a Wigan v Leeds bitchfest.

If the AUP is broken then action will be taken, as would be the case with anyone.

Get a girlfriend Neil, you have far too much time on your hands.

Burgess will be a top winger again after a few months back home, he's been part of the scapegoating going on at the Roosters and Souths, usually the biased TV pundits (which all of them are not) due to their woeful seasons.

Roosters were destroyed by Melbourne last weekend with so many top players in their team, Robinson will be gone end of season.

Souths...Where have all their players gone?? To fit a misfiring Sam B under the cap, massive mistake, Inglis injured all the time, even the players left look a shadow of the Premiership winning team pf 2014.

Mcguire came to Wigan and won the GF first season and cup next, went back to Aus and ended South's 43 year drought of Grand Final succes but looks lost this season, what's gone on there, i imagine plenty behind the scenes.

I'd take MM back on a big contract tomorrow, he is Mr Disciplne and would sort our rabble out within weeks.

Burgess at times has looked like a young inexperienced kid thrown in at the deep end that is exactly what he is.

It was a tough night for him, his first drop was a little unlucky as he lost his footing going into contact collected an elbow to the head and lost the ball. The high balls are an issue that needs work and he got targeted coming up with 2 big errors. His confidence in that department looked shot to bits.

On the positive side, his went on the outside both chances he was given, set field position for a try for one and was robbed of a great try on the second occasion. Terrible video ref decision which should have put Souths back in the game.

His carry is strong clearly added some mass in the last year.

He went out as an inexperienced winger after a boom season, he is returning a more experienced player with extra size but still with issues in his game. He will be under less pressure playing a lower standard which is the ideal place for him to work on those issues and regain his confidence.

I'm genuinely not concerned in the slightest by his form at the moment but I am excited to see the areas he still has, the areas he has improved in his game and safe in the knowledge he should be a better player than when he left, which if we are honest is a pretty good player.

Yep, same here - I thought: "pacific" as soon as I read the thread title.

Cant blame Mcguie, he has had his side depleted to fit in Sam B and has come back without a pre season and looks it.

Hope we can lure him back for next year to replace SW.

Can't wait to see JB next year, top class winger.

agreed

Bringing Sam back has cost the Rabbits a season. He has lost power and just generally looks shot from playing for over two years non-stop without an off season and RU trying to turn him into a centre.

As for Joe, like Hardaker and Eden he just looks physically weak in comparison to his opponents. Both also show poor technique near their own line bringing the ball out, allowing themselves to be pushed back rather than hitting the deck. If he were to stay in the NRL he'd need to bulk up considerably. On the plus size apart from the fact the try wasn't awarded it was a superb finish. He'll come back to SL and be a star.

The Aussie commentators are ultra critical of Rabbitohs this season because of their poor performance in the league and anyone with the name Burgess is attracting more than a little flak.

Watching him in the last few games, I think he's developed a habit of trying too hard in an attempt to prove himself and ended up making more errors as a result. It hasn't helped him playing in two poor sides either.

With the Wigan hat on, I'm delighted he's coming back next year, but at the same time, from a general English RL perspective, a little disappointed he's not staying out there to prove himself. In the right team I think he could make a success of it and develop himself more than he will coming back here.

It does make you wonder how he will be when he comes back,his confidence will have taken a knock thats for sure.

Yes, well said.

True. It may take him a while to build it back up but I'm sure it'll come. He'll get enough space in superleague to allow him to breath.

He could do with coming in to a Wigan team playing with more confidence and attacking intent then the current one though.

Starting to find his feet, 3 tries last week and a good game tonight. I think Wigan are going to get the benefit of a bigger, stronger and more complete player next season.

I think people need to put things into perspective. The lad is only 21 and has a couple of years experience at first grade.

Add the fact he's been left out at the Roosters for most of the season into the mix and think people should cut him some slack.

Being back in familiar surroundings at Wigan next season with shelter from Aussie press will undoubtedly help him get his confidence back

It's a pity there isn't a facility to block him like you can on other social media sites.

Put him on your "foes" list - that works until some twit quotes him...

Just seen his try against Cronulla, anyone who thinks his confidence might be shot had better think again, tremendous finish

He had a solid game against the Sharks, with the glaring exception of one awful drop when a precise chip over the defence left him only needing to catch the ball at chest height and fall over the line. Sadly it slipped through him, but to his credit he stuck at it, and produced that great finish in the dying moments of the game.

BTW I just watched Tommy in defeat against the Tigers. The Warriors go out of 8s contention with that home loss, but once again Tommy had an excellent game, organising the left side attack to great effect.

Phil Gould described his time in the NRL so far as one of rocks or diamonds. This was again summed up by his latest performance where he took a pass from Inglis broke down the left wing showing real pace, stepped in an he approached the line was hit by the cover defence and had the ball stollen off him in a 1 on 1 tackle just prior to crossing the line.

He has made some very strange errors some that were harder to make than actually undertake a skill correctly but he has also shown some really impressive glimpses as well.

The Roosters played him on the right where he looked lost at sea but he has done great to come back from that experience and start to show what he is capable on the left for Souths.

He has clearly packed on some size and doesn't show signs of slowing his pace. He clearly has some issues with his skills, particularly catching kicks, but hopefully we can keep working on this. He is a confidence player however he is also a natural finisher with a strong kick return and will be better for the experience.

I'm sure he will be right back up there at the top of the scoring charts in 2017 assuming we do something about our attacking style in the offseason, but I also think we need to accept there are always going to be the odd brain fart or 2 a season that will lead to us conceding points also.

That's one of the things that I know Wigan and the Aussie teams were working on. I'll just be glad to see him back at Wigan next season, it's just a pity about Manfredis injury as I feel we would have had the best pair of wingers in Superleague.
