[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]

Just remember that people died to get the right to vote, and many people aroud the world are denied what we have fought for and now take for granted... Time we ALL learned to care...

I am interested in the reasons why people don't vote though and what I think is important is that as a result of this recent election people have been made aware of the pitfalls of not doing so. Hopefully this alone will make those people more interested in who is representing them at parliamentary and local levels.
I thought the same way many years ago... (not being patronising..honest) when the Conservatives won and we got Thatcher, and came to the conclusion that there could be a NON OF THE ABOVE box..... which would be a way of showing distain.... just not turning up is not enough IMO

I agree with this. I did vote this time but in the past I have perhaps not been as involved and not always voted. I voted because you could see what was going to happen and how the BNP were trying to take advantage when the country was losing patience with the current government.
Hopefully this will be a real eye opener for the majority and will remind them that actually every vote does count.
