I’m going Wembley with a team to shout for, for the day.
I’m happy!

If I didn't put a shift in at work, then I'd expect flack for it.

Think about what you have said here. I don't know what you do ... but I bet you wouldn't enjoy being criticised week after week in such a public way. But never mind eh! they are sportsmen so fair game to throw sh*t at.

Great win for Leigh made up for them especially the little boy who cried on Beaumonts shoulders when Lomax went over near the end..his tears turned to smiles...also we all now know golden boy is bang average...thought Kendall had a shocker too

Exactly it is a huge privilege to be paid for playing sport and fair play to the people that achieve that. But it also comes with massive scrutiny, it’s not just Rugby or Football it’s a lot of sport. McIlroy, Bairstow and many others it is what it is and your constant attacking of people that vent their opinions is worse.

If people paid their hard earned money to watch me work I’d expect to be criticised if I didn’t put a shift in.

Most sportsmen (and you must have met lots) are hard working & lovely people as are those that give their opininons on here.They all deserve respect. Sorry if you feel that I "attack" people who vent their feelings but I don't believe that sportsmen should be "fair game" for insults just because they are sportsmen.

I bet you wouldn't enjoy it too much if it was on an online forum. BTW it is optional isn't it to spend that "hard earned" money.

Yeh I have met many, had the pleasure of spending a month with Gary Schofield in Australia believe it or not he is actually a nice man but he gets hammered a lot for his comments far more than some on here get. The point is people in the public domain will always be up for scrutiny and it is what it is whether they are hard working or not.

Right, we know, you've expressed that many, many, times. There is a clear difference of opinion and each is entitled to their own. I dont know why you continue going on about it - what are you hoping to achieve?

My opinions are ...

1) Holmes was poor (crap) for Warrington. So much so he was ejected half way through a 2 year contract by the very same bloke that signed him.

2) our owners do need to look at themselves in comparison with Leigh and wonder why a team with our castoffs is at Wembley and stuffed us earlier in the year.

And I am entitled to express my opinions. If you don't like them that's your issue not mine.

Yep "it is what it is" ... but is it right?
I wouldn't pay to watch Elton John & then boo him ... cos he can't keep his trousers up.
As for Gary Schofield he has actually made plenty of money by throwing crap at people I'm not surprised he gets hammered.
