The game against cas, Steph tackled kenny edwards, and the lovely kenny was hurt, Steph tapped him to say ok when he was on the floor, why!!, this is kenny Edward, yes! the guy who would punch your grandma if it ment winning, sorry Steph should of been happy he was down, let the cas medical staff to deal with and left his concerns till after in the bar, first game of the season at Leeds, wire attacking kick Leeds new winger catches and curry times it lovely, top hit winger done, get in, oh no!! curry bends down and makes sure he’s alright, someone like jake Conner would be over him telling him what’s he’s just done(it’s well known that jakes a top lad off the pitch ) see the difference, it’s called aggression.

Not with you on this. The actual contact & the tackle is where the aggression should be. Showing no concern when someone is obviously hurt is just being a prat.

I’m with Willow, the Wigan way, hit them hard, hurt them and buy them a lolly pop after the game is won.
Had enough of snowflaking. (If that is a word)

Well with McGuire, Vaughan and Kasiano on the field I don't think we'll find Smithies or Harry Smith rubbing anyone's hair with such enthusiasm.

So super benny was a prat, because love him or hate him that’s how he played the game.

remember king les Boyd, he was ultra concerned when he hurt the opposing player, sorry that’s why we are poor to SOFT!!!!

I honest can’t argue against Willow.
I don’t remember Mickey Mac, or perhaps it was Harrison Hansen, apologising to Ratchford when one of them turned his north facing foot southwards!
However grubby, it won them the GF. Had Hodgson been on the bench with 3 forwards, things just would have been different.
However we didn’t have, Shaun Mane knew it, and the fat git was singing and we were shell shocked.

Refs have more restraint in finals, they don’t send players off however dirty, they are mindful of how that can diversely effect the out come, (yes i know about Flower, that was unique).
Refs even find it extremely difficult to sin bin them with the same ease as they do in a league games.
In finals, refs don’t want to make the game all about them.

Bring back the biff, great games with grubs.

I for one cannot wait to see McGuire in P&B…and hopefully some white too for a change.

With that in mind, you are set if you play the Wigan way. Use the margin that refs give in these games. Come out champions.

I loved him. Played tough but OK for me. But as for Micky Mac. & worse still Harrison Hansen ... closer to being a prat. HH is lethal.

Games soft early rounds this season players were in the bin for nothing more than a micro second late push on a player passing the ball..see worst on a Sunday morning watching my grandson..glad I don't hand over my hard earned dollar to watch this
