Are they thick?

At ten past four on Friday night when Wigan are four hours away from playing their second Super League game, they decide to print ANOTHER story about an ex-Wigan player Micky Higham, who is a Leyther and who plays for Warrington.

Seriously, who pays these people?

Considering they're the main newspaper in Wigan, they make no effort to report decent, exclusive and interesting news in regards to one of the biggest Rugby League clubs in the world.

Are you?

Is it too much to imagine that there may be people out there that are interested in where an ex-player has gone and what his is up to now? Is this a major article in the paper WEP or a space filler?

What is the coverage of the game from the paper before the game, is there any news to report? I suspect not, the majority of the news will be after the game having something of note about rugby is better than nothing.

Could NickmanHighamlover actually be a hack on the WEP?

As for someone being interested in a former player, yes, if it was one of note. However, this was about Higham.

Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.

Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.

So long as there is anything about RL i am happy.
It beats the hell out of reading about football.

that said I "read" the WEP one in a blue moon anyway it's the worst paper in the world.
It would demean the likes of the Beano and Dandy to call it a comic.

The reporter at the game won't be the person who puts the page together. He'll just have wrote the thing at the game. Many other outlets are reporting 4,573 instead of 14,573 so I guess its a Press Association cock up.
