I heard some of Wires fan base was pathetic but there's some folk here outdoing themselves. imagine hating a young lad who's got more talent in their left foot than they'd ever produce in their lives!
Didn't Eamonn Mcmanus bang on about a Knowles try in the CC final against you lot once cant remember the incident in full?! But Bet there was silence on here.

I don't think anyone on here is denying that Lewis has talent and some might even accepting of his antics on that basis and that the game needs characters but there's no denying that he's a prize WUM and as such should expect the reaction that he obviously craves.

And BTW you don't have to be an ex international rugby player to post on a forum and make what you might consider to be a valid point or opinion which probably applies in your case apart from the validity

100% Wigan. HKR don’t deserve to be there and can’t wait to see how many tickets they sell….if it’s less than 25k then they should disappear back in their box

They've caused the 3rd tier to be opened for the first time in years apparently so doesn't seem like they're doing too badly

Only if there's an erasure tribute act on. God what an embarrassing 'anthem', the crowd can't even sing half of it because it's so high pitched.

You would have thought Erasure would come cheaper than the tribute act about now.

I want Wigan to utterly destroy Hull KR. I'm not usually a vindictive man, but in this instance, I want Hull KR to lose so heavily that Lewis weeps on the pitch, sobs inconsolably all the way home, and then develops alcohol and urinary incontinence problems in the off-season.

Interesting views on here.

I’ve a lot of mates who are Wire fans and they were telling me how they are struggling to have the same dislike for Wigan as they used to.

Likeable local coach, generally likeable playing squad and play a very entertaining brand of rugby.

Think things would be different if Lewis or Welsby played for Wigan or even if Sam Tomkins still played for us.

Likewise vice versa the growth in Wire as a club is great to see. Given young local juniors a chance rather than just buying players all the time (that will reap rewards ina. Few years).

The clubs seem to have a good relationship to, Wigan inviting Wire to vegas, SJM organising Ashcroft and NGallager to play Robin Park etc.


I understand we are the lesser of 2 evils on Saturday and we’ll go back to hating each other next year haha

I have nothing against Wigan per se. I was only a nipper in the 90s when they dominated, but by the time I was a teen it was Bradford and Leeds' turn to run the show. But by then I had learned to despise a certain club from up the road with the most vindictive, sarcastic, victim-playing fans in the league. Their last minute wins against us and vile arrogance just cemented my hatred of them. I could never say the same about Wigan, despite them being kind of 'grubby' under Macguire and Wane, there's no doubt to anyone who watched on Saturday that they're now streets ahead of the other teams in SL, and the only ones likely to give Penrith a run once again. Just have to tip my hat to them, because they are class.

Look at all these simps on here, worshipping at the Wigan altar in the hope they'll be thrown a few pie crusts.

The answer to this question is so obvious it shouldn't need asking.

Hull KR 100%.

na'h. Mikey Lewis and his antics mean he's public enemy number 1 at the moment. The bloke is a proper whooper who deserves to be humbled big time.

I just don't care.

Wigan are the benchmark club we need to emulate. Everything about them is geared to success and the "in season" quadruple would be an incredible achievement and worthy of SPOTY Team of the Year.

I don't hate them, I admire them.
