I might be wrong but I think a good few of your team went into the game carrying injury. Monaghans injury was caused by his own tackling technique and was noway Richards fault.

You seem to be confusing outcome with intent. Westwood certainly intended to cause injury all of the other tackles including Hansens are up for debate.

Are you saying that the ref was biased in Wigan's favour?

Biased? No

The trouble with Wigan is they are like tax lawyers, what they do is legal but unethical.

You look at things you can do that push the limits of the laws, laws have been changed and updated on the back of some of your 'unsavoury' play, including the Hanson 3rd man in on a player that's effectively tackled.
When the Saints Wigan game was obviously looking like a game of tight margins you deliberately targeted the only consistent kicker they had GOB and that almost worked when Saints missed every penalty presented to them.

I hope they stick 60 on you tbh, I can live with it.

Well that's the difference between us. Are you aware of how you are parading your bitterness and stupidity all over the Saints board. Probably better to just stick with stupidity like me!!!!

To be fair, I imagine he is in the majority when stating he hopes Wigan get beat. You'll do well to find many neutrals who will be shouting for Wigan.

Probably in a diminishingly small minority, but I hope Wigan stuff them.

I'll never ever understand this if I'm honest. A Saints fan wanting Wigan to be World Champions makes no sense whatsoever.

why?

Re: Walsh injury update : Wed Feb 05, 2014 1:18 pm  

Nope can't shout for Wigan on this one.

I think the only time I want Wigan to win is when it will benefit us ie taking out a rival.

AS we are not in this competition then whilst not supporting the aussies, I'm not wanting Wigan to win.

I think it's better for the game over here big picture, in terms of oiling the wheels of a potential money spinning expanded WCC that has been floated a number of times recently. It's also good for the credibility of SL as a competition which carries a number of positives that aren't immediately obvious, including what we as spectators think about the standard of RL we're paying to watch (and that sponsors are paying to support).

I'm also probably influenced by having flown over to Oz a couple of times to support GB/England and putting up with the Sydney natives . . . .

Nothing that you have described is worth having Wigan as World Champions.

Meh, it's a similar argument to the "Saints GF vs England WC win" that gets trotted out every now and again. Some look towards potential long term benefits, some look towards local bragging rights.

Neither is "wrong" and it's never going to be unanimous.
