Certainly cancelled each other out, two robotic teams putting on a very dull encounter for the neutrals.

Suppose that was a glimpse of what SL will be like in 5 years when everyone adopts Wigans wrestling style.

Of course it would be much better if everyone adopted sloppy defense instead. That way we would all get to watch a high volume of easy tries, right?

Didn't your very own Micky Higham recently get banned for 2 matches as a result of doing dangerous tackle? Seems like your new to them already.

Yes it would be, as opposed to 20 second tackles, starting to turn into Union the amount of time each tackle takes.

It never fails to amaze me how some people whinge about good defense being "boring" whilst completely failing to realise that excitement will be totally absent if points are easy to come by. Teams like Wigan make it difficult to score, and that's good for the English game. And when everybody else's attack catches up it will be even better, especially for the neutrals to watch (though the games this year which have been touted as great adverts for Rugby League are Wigan-Saints Good Friday and Wire-Wigan QF). Until then, fans should stop whinging and ask more of their own clubs instead of expecting Wigan to make it easy for them. Watching Wire put 60 past Salford is extremely boring mate. What next, a letter to Mike Maguire "Please sir, let us score." Pathetic.

Hey if you want slow PTB, less tries, go watch Union.

Or the league with the best players in the league, the NRL.

If you think its good for super league to have 50-60 point victories every week, your so wrong.

I still believe the only difference between the NRL and SL is the intensity in the matches every week. If the entire league was made up of teams the calibre or Wigan, Wire, Saints, Hudds and Leeds (minus McDermott) then players would have to learn to actually attack decent defences.

On another note, are you WireWonder reincarnated? Or just a conincidence that your another poster making Wire fans look awful.

FYI they don't have PTBs in union. But if it bothers you so much maybe you could start by writing a letter to your own club asking them not to slow the PTB down, not to turn the tackler, to only employ 2 men in each tackle, etc. I'm sure they'll accept that allowing more tries is good for the game and pleases people like "Ron" so it will all be worth it. Hey, be sure to tell them not to do it when they play us though, cos at Wigan we don't need any favours, you know what I mean Ron? You can tell them to continue throwing everything they've got at us, and we'll do our best to up our attack to match their defense. At Wigan we'd balk at the idea of expecting someone to lower their standards to make it easier for us, but there you go.

Hey we all know Wigan don't care about the good of the game, we know your history, don't worry about that!

Lowering the standard of English RL under the banner of "improvement"? Well, your doublespeak is improving if nothing else.
