Hello Minerlad,you must be really really old, at your age i am surpriced that you can see the players on the pitch,never mind the cheating that you say is going on, the muppets must be the only team in super league who do not give forward passes,holding down,knock ons,high tackles,offside,late tackles,what a clean team they are,i bet you can remember sonny nickle,one of the dirtiest players ever,who did he play for,if you dont know i will tell you.

Age is a state of mind. If you feel old then you are old. I feel 21 so I am. Just to put you right, I am not on about the odd mistakes that happen during any game. I am talking about deliberate cheating. I will explain: When a player after being tackled hold on to the defending player who was the tackler by either trapping the defending players arm or leg so that the Ref penalises the defending player, THAT IS CHEATING. Have a look at your recording of any Wigan game and you will see that happening.

Names to conjure with along with Reg Blakemore, Duggie Greenall, Bill Finnon, Joey Ball, Digger Delves, Steve Llewellyn, George Parsons and company

How about Jimmy Honey, Len Aston who was the greatish exponent of selling the dummy, Jonty Pilkington.

Hello Minerlad,i seen that happen on friday against leeds,the player was sam tomkins,but the leeds player was holding on to him and that is why he got penalised,you see that happening every week no matter who the team is.i bet you did not see them two dirty tackles on wigan players did you.by the way i am four years older than you 25.

i'm a neutral (widnes fan) but i have to admit the pies are the best team in the game at the moment.....

[joe90]

Hello Johnny,dont tell the muppets that,widnes have always been my second team,i wish that they could get back in super league were they belong.

There are none so blind as those that do not want to see.

Ablett got a three match ban,so he will not play against the muppets on saturday,the other dirty b,,t,,d got away with it,no evidence so is television no evidence when someone goes in with the knees,they should have ganson up in front of the panel,and get him demoted again.

I've supported Saints from being old enough to carry my brick. No not for any act of vadalism but to be able to see over the wall. All of us who were to small stood on a brick got from the pig farm on the way up. The rules of the game seem to have changed so much. When there was an infrigement of the rules you were sent off, there was no putting it on report, the retribution was instant, and i believe that's the way it should be. The blatent head high tackles that are not given and I am not picking any team in particular are downright dangerous. These players somme of whom are quite young are risking serious injury because the refs have not got the bottle of the old refs to SEND THEM OFF. It's a joke when they go infront of the board you know that nine out of ten times nothing is going to be done which gives carte blanch to any future offenders. Our house is divided between Wigan and Saints with the grandkids siding with either their mum or us she is the wigan supporter. We just enjoy our rugby.

[joe90]

Hello Swimmer,you are bang on there,the refs lately are a disgrace some are not fit enough to keep up with the game,ablett appealed today but it was thrown out.

[SWIMMER]

Hi joe90. Both myself and my husband have been rugby fans from being little kids, so naturally it followed that our children not so little now, would be. I support the saints sadly from an armchair now, so when there is a good game on we watch it. I thought the game between Saints and Warrington was a good game right up to the final whistle. My Wigan supporting daughter in law shouted for saints and I return the favour whenever Wigan are playing any other team but Saints My husband and son and daughter all think the tele is a conduit to the refs ear. If only. There have been some really terrible infridgements with no punishment. If that is allowed to carry on then someone will be seriously hurt.

[joe90]

I thought some one would have been on now about the muppets performance on saturday,i was glad when they got beat,but they played very well for sixty minutes,then they tired and to me they did not seem match fit,the ref was a joke again,forward passes must not count now it his going like rugby union,the Catalans made Warrington look very good yesterday.

[Alan]

I agree with part of that Joe. Yes they played well for sixty minutes but I think Leeds players' experience in big games in the absence of Eastmond and Pryce was the crucial factor. I thought the ref was OK but there again I've never been one for blaming defeats on referees.

Catalans were poor.

Will be the best new Wembley final yet. Expect the first RL sell-out at the new Wembley (minus the Wembley debenture-holders' seats that is)

[Carr Millite]

Ha Ha Wigan beaten. Again.
Note the Wigan walk beginnning four minutes from the end with two points in it?
Shameful.
No hub cap yet then!

[joe90]

Hello Carr Millite,i thought you had emigrated after you were knocked out of the challenge cup,you have not mentioned the muppets last defeat,people walking off there where still more left in the stadium than there where at stains ground on friday night,less than ten thousand again,and dont forget how many stains fans walked off when you got hammered by the catalans are have you forgot,still we can lose the last two games and still win the league trophy,when you won it all the muppets said it was better than winning nothing.
