Wigan are the most blinkered, hypocritical club in any sport, ever. They seem to want to operate under a different set of rules to the rest.

That's quite a claim. I'd agree that we're far from perfect - unlike your goodselves of course. What is it that irks you so much?

I wonder what people would have said if Wigan had gone out to Aus to train with Wire's opponents (leaving aside the unlikely nature of such an occurence) in the World Club Challenge. Imagine the claims of sour grapes, undermining the British game etc. There is a feeling in Wigan that we don't get any help in this quest. Last time we played, Jeff Lima, who was our best prop at the time, was banned for the game against St George. What purpose did that serve other than to undermine Wigan's chances. Why wasn't he banned from a Super League game? (But no, rules are rules, and they weren't changed for Wigan's sake)

Personally I couldn't care less what Wire do. As if the Roosters need any help from Tony Smith (good coach that he is).

Yeah Lima was hard done to, to be fair he only did TWO chicken wings in one match to get that ban.

Also Wire didn't "go out to Oz to train with Wigan's opponents". They went out to Oz in the same way they have done in previous years, to carry out the same training camp at the same club. The fact that Wigan are playing Roosters this year is simply a coincidence.

Yes I agree. He deserved a ban. As I said banning him from a Super League game might have been more sensible. But rules are rules and Wigan have to abide by them like anyone else.

I obviously didn't think that they'd gone all that way just to help the Roosters. Anyway as I said I'm sure the Roosters can manage quite easily on their own - I just imagine the shitstorm that would have followed had say Wigan helped the Rabbitohs against Wire (unlikely as such a scenario is)?!!

for that to happen, wire would have to win a grand final

So what your saying is players should be able to pick and choose which games they are banned for
