Pathetic

Soon as clubs like wakefield or swapped for the likes of leigh and widnes teams who are trying to move forward. this game may start to adopt a new attitude

yeah a couple of people weren't bothered because it didn't affect Wakey. Hardly representative of the feelings of West Yorkshire is it?

i think the thread kind of went off topic and i agree it is an issue that needs looking at for the good of the game.

but is hardly a reason to go Wakey bashing is it, you seem to have enough excuses as it is.

If you look at the attitude though a few are hedging there bets saying nothing needs to be changed yet but may well in the future after the next pick of franshises, ie hopefully when Trinity have a new stadium are secure and then the whole League can move forward.

I enjoy posting on there I really do but this attitude has stunned me, I would not expect any rugby league supporter to think losing a player like Smith is ok, as long as it is not in there back yard.

LOL.... They are in a proper lather now...hehehehe.

great season init , Union , A leeds player and the Wakey board top of your agenda is it

thanks for clearing up the definition , i now feel safe in the knowledge that i too can use the wigan board as a medium (don't mention mediums in wakey) to express my views and opinions.

IMHO

you are talking out off your bum if you think the cap is killing the sport

Of course you are free to express your opinions...as indeed am i...

It absolutely sickens me to think about how much of a hold RU has got over us at the moment with regards to pinching our players. I know at this stage it is just a rumour, but even so if lee smith goes it will again be a massive knock to our game. I really was quite shocked to read the attitudes of some of the Wakey support, in some respects I find this more concerning that the fact that union are poaching our best players after all that is only natural, why would you not want the best?.

Jonh, I thought you fought a good battle with those numptys, however the old saying “there is no point arguing with an idiot” springs to mind when I read some of their responses (especially about Farrell being pot!!!!).

I am on a bit of a downer after reading this, I always thought that to be a league fan you had to have this “us v them” attitude. I can’t believe people would condone it, never mind encourage it because it does not affect their club.

It beggars belief.

That thread is the main reason why i dont bother posting on other teams boards. As soon as they find out your a wigan fan, it turns into a anti wigan rant about how we only want the rules changing so we can buy success again.

I dont even bother to tell them the reason we could 'buy' success, was our success was based on the intial winning of the team and a want to become the best team in the world at our sport.

Any reasoned argument is usually followed by

Well you only won cos you were the only full time team, or more recently

you should have been kicked out of the league for breaking the cap!

You cant reaon with people who have made up their mind regardless of facts!
