I can assure you Sheffield would have given far more effort today. That is what was missing.

Oh surprise, East Yorkshire, poster?? I have not visited the Wigan forum today or ever?

I am still wondering where they are, Where were all the other 10, 000 so called Pie fans, was the bus delayed out of depot, the game is in Wigan really and those so called fans did not bother....shame on them only £3.80 on t'bus..... though they will all come out the woodwork now.

Lost all respect for Wigan now, big club..........not, Leigh......Proper place, they, with passion, hate anyone from Wigan

Lenigan better send out a search party, though David Attenborough, should be called in to do a one hour special on the rarely seen lesser spotted Pie eater, in a filed just outside Thatto Heath...................Would make fascinating TV

Yes, that's what you should be concerning yourself with, the attendance, don't let the performance of your team bother you at all, priorities and all that...........

Re: Wigan game : Sun Jul 28, 2013 4:09 pm  

Do people actually think we played that badly? Genuine question.

My overriding impression from the game was that, although we are rubbish, Wigan were red-hot. They are just far, far too good for a team such as ours. They didn't give us any chances, and when we did have the ball, we haven't a clue what to do with it. They've got strike players, leaders, relentless forwards, a well drilled defence. We don't have any of those. Are you in some way surprised we got tubbed?

My overriding emotion is not anger, it is depression. Depression that after 33 years, London rugby league does not appear to be able to compete. At all.

We should have just taken the two...................

Surprising to note that we have had More Visitors all Non Bronco Fan visitors than ever before today!

The Penguin, we started off doing what I asked for on twitter, to just play it simply and that is when we held Wigan, our line of defence was not bad and some of the tackling was superb! But when an opposition has 75% of the ball, what can we really expect, any team would have buckled at some stage, yes even the Eagles.

Yesterday was more like going back to the day before the limited tackles rule. The match officials did nothing to help, in football, the three of them would be dropped next weekend, especially the referee, when he takes advice on two occasions from the side, and both were long, and immediately lead to further tries!

In all The RFL have a lot to answer for yesterday, it has done even more damage to the opinion of the game to TV viewers, more and more people I know once RL fans are saying they enjoy the union more on TV?

Well the two points would have stopped the nil!

Re: Wigan game : Sun Jul 28, 2013 4:29 pm  

On answer to the Broncos team YES I think we were shameful, weak, clueless and the team were disloyal to every fan that travelled by putting in no effort at all. Friends who watched the game couldnt believe LB were such a non competitive team. In answer to your question about Wigan - again yes they were technically brilliant but more importantly they played with pride and passion. Strange we have fans who will support and clap the team no matter what dross they serve up and Wigan have fans who cant t be bothered to pay a local bus fare to get to the game but I bet they will all be excellent journeymen when it comes to Wembley they will have so many fans on that day. The pride and passion Wigan team play with deserve better from it's fans.

Apart from the game, it was quite a nice day out - good weather, Wigan fans picnicing on the grass and around 'The Whistling Wren', nice ground with friendly and helpful staff (don't eat the pies, though!)

Could have fooled me - Listy and Leeboy had two each!

Ridiculous post. Yesterday's drubbing was just one of a series of diabolical efforts this season and to blame the RFL and the officials is simply to stick ones head where the sun doesn't shine.

Re: Wigan game : Sun Jul 28, 2013 5:17 pm  

still waiting for someone to come up with why the officials were so rubbish? What is wrong with the ref asking the touchies what he saw errrr that is what they are there for
