How about Martyn Sadler editor and chief writer in League Express? Is he biaised like the whole world against wigan?
from yesterday match comments by Sadler:

".....the new coach whoever it is, and we assume it to be Shaun Wayne, needs to look carefully at some of wigan;s tackling techniques. Jeff Lima is particular seems to be a problem, having had his share of run in's with the RFL this season, and I imagine he will do so again after dangerously twisting Lomax's leg in a tackle in the 65th minute. That made me cringe to see it and it is just not acceptable......"

Rogues will just ignore this because it doesn't fit in with his one eyed biased version of events.

Yes Sadler was wrong as the review panel clearly show. They are independent and unbiased unlike most RL fans (of all clubs)

Sadler was wrong to have faith in a review panel that clearly is not independent or unbiased! Coley's head tackle on Makinson went unpunished too but that was as clear a dangerous tackle around the head as will ever be seen. Presumably if he had decapitated Makinson he might have got a ban.

You've been a dirty lot under Maguire and I'm glad he's gone. I hope he's a total failure in the NRL.

maybe unbiased (Although I'm not 100% sure on that) but most certainly incompetent. Its clear to see for anyone with eyes that Lima is twisting his bl00dy ankle.

Dont forget Wello almost getting decapitated on his own line and then just to rub it in Bentham gave a drop out.

Wigans tactics over the last couple of years have been despicable , personally I hope he falls flat on his face at Souths

How many players have actually been injured by any of our tackling techniques/Special moves? If our players really wanted to snap other players arms legs etc like some of you claim then surely they would just do it? Its not hard when a guy is on the floor is it?

If they did it more openly you'd have more than Cokehead psycho Steptoe banned for the year. Snide dirty cheap and cowardly tactics like knee's in and 'accidental' twisting of joints is more your former coach's style

Apart from the saints players mentioned on here you mean, just from one game?

What about when coley came in late when solomona was being held up and nearly snapped his knee. Solomona was out for several weeks and Smith had some very bad things to say about about the "tackle" e.g. it is only a matter of time where it will end a player's career.
Its just plain nastiness from a team coached by a plain nasty person.

After one match with you, three players had dead legs and one had two dead legs! Knees in at the tackle. Dirty play.

From Saturday's game, Jamie Foster has had to have a scan (according to his Twitter) and I read somewhere that Wilkin might be having one (although not confirmed by him or the club). Lomax was limping at one point thanks to Lima (he started off well with a two match ban).

It's not just us either - a recent example: Catalans lost two players in the first half of their play off game against you. I'm sure Wire lost a couple of players in their league game against you?
