Wigan have played Champagne rugby and been recognised for it in the past.



This brand of Maguire/Brown rule-bending is not in any way attractive.



I am happy to be thrashed by Saints or indeed any team that plays flowing rugby.



I have stood and applauded many teams that have done something special against my team - they shoe RL for the art form it can be.



Wigan don't do that - they play a filthy, unattractive kind of rugby.

The game was over as a contest thanks to the ref they should have been going in at 18-12. Whys

should we think before the game that if Catalan dont get robbed then they have a chance. It was over as a contest after the 1st half. Pat Richards may aswell took the whistle off ganson as he was going to give Catalan there 1st. I feel sorry for the poor french who actually made the trip to Wigan. It was shocking and embarrassing. Shows what a set of pathetic individuals we have reffing the game over here. Even when we played Leeds at Headingly it was 40-6 and they were still getting 50-50 calls. Australia games you dont see crap like we saw tonight!

Congratulations to be thick enough to buy into the Eddie and Stevo show.

That's unfair mate!



NGB4C's stupidity has got nothing to do with him listening to Eddie and Stevo!

What is your point exactly. I am happy to admit that once again Wigan are playing the game professionally dragging the game forward to the next level in this country.



I am happy to say they push the boundaries but play to the rules.



Once again Wigan do this and are slated just like they were when they had the glory years, even though they dragged the game back then kicking and screaming into the professional era and got the same level of vitriol spat at them. Not sure how old you are but I am 33 on Tuesday, my first real memory of rugby league was 85 cup final the start of the revolution and I remember the same level of abuse and criticism thrown at Wigan for what they did back then as i hear today.



To be fair though the criticism today has yet to reach the levels it did back then, due to Wigan cheating for employing full time professionals (even though Leeds did it first).

Disagree they raised the issue of Richards calling for the fourth official when in truth on the replay Ganson was always going for it, once again admitted by the due after the replay but with less of an emphasis that they were in fact wrong., and regardless the call was right. The lad was offside he broke the rules, so not sure what stance you are trying to take?



Claiming Wigan cheated but trying to justify a try was chalked off, that was against the rules.



Don't blame the refs, Richards or anyone else. Blame the left winger for Les Cats for coming up with such a poor idiotic play. Still easier I guess to slag the evil Wigan club.

Take the blinkers off for gods sake

SG was about to award the try until Richards came over whingeing footballer-esque telling SG to refer it.

Agree with Rumour 13's post, which is why most neutrals will be supporting Saints next week.

Whoosh...@JonH

Watch every try scored when the Sky team are there they call for the video ref, every time. Because Eddie states that Richards changes the mind of a St Helens supporting ref against Wigan is laughable. Watch the replay, even Eddie admits he got it wrong.



The fact remains though that the player was offside and it was correctly not allowed so not sure what point you are trying to make. The decision was correct no try offside.



If you think the game swung on those decisions (that and the line ball) you are disillusioned.

So if i have blinkers on, you are claiming it was a try?



I can only assume you attempting to justify a "try" that blatantly broke the laws of the game and was correctly judged no try and yet calling me blinkered is in some way ironic.

There is no whoosh - he's doing it on purpose.



It actually amuses me that Wigan fans refuse to accept that the universal dislike of their style of play by the majority of neutral fans, not to mention the condemnation of many well-respected coaches, is all based on jealousy.



If that's the case, where are the outpourings of hatred when other teams get flogged by Warrington or Saints?
