Quote Highbury Rhino="Highbury Rhino"Mainly fair points but Wigan's good season is a signal that the game has to change. In it's present state the dominance of slow play the balls, wrestling, 'winning the floor', 5 drives and a kick, physicality and power generally at the expense of, flair, speed and skill is leading the sport towards a general sterility with an increasing proportion of dull games. This is a view that I think is finding more and more favour with the games administrators and Gary Hetherington in particular is an advocate for change. I for one hope that Wigan and the Wigan way find themselves back where they belong - the dustbin of history'"
