BBC GMR : Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:04 pm  

It's taken me almost one hour to get over it but have sat open-mouthed listening to the jokers on RL extra.

Throughout the whole programme the number of anti-Wigan jibes was phenomenal, digs at us losing last week, signing more Aussies (supposedly going against the tradition of bringing through our youngsters that IL had put in place) even though it was pointed out that they were actually like for like changes with Bailey, Feka and possibly Phelps leaving. Oh and we'll regret letting Feka go as he'll come back to haunt us! The type of impartial shi'ite that Hemmings normally spouts!

The BBC actually want to spend a bit of money and get their coverage of RL sorted out, between that and The Harry/Sinfield/Kear love-in that the SL show has become their coverage is appauling. Bunch of complete Bar Stewards!

Appreciate this goes nowhere but rant over!

Simple answer - don't listen to it!

I was thinking exactly the same when listening to Hemmings on Boots n All last night.

Re: BBC GMR : Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:14 pm  

I dont watch boot n all or superleague show anymore - they are embarassing. Just watch the tries

The media, pundits, "experts", commentators and supporters of rival clubs are just doing what they have done for years. Spouting the same, mindless, bitter, drivel about Wigan & whatever goes on at the club. I find it quite flattering they take the time out to go over the comings and goings of the club so intently. I've posted the facts of that matter on a thread on the VT - http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=463936&start=15 But people like this don't care. Some fans have more passion in hating Wigan than they do in supporting their own team, see here: Saddened! wrote: Just pure scum are Wigan. Such a scummy hive of scum. If Thornley is such a talent and such a strapping lad and is 18, why the feck hasn't he already got a 4 year deal? Why hasn't he played in the first team? If he's genuinely so good why not cut one of the useless NRL players and sign him up? You are not telling me that Thornley is going to Sale for anything other than money. Hands in pockets FFS, cut the overseas players and the numerous exemptions and act responsibly FFS. You can't have 7 overseas stars from the NRL on bumper deals and they blame it all on the salary cap either. Not to mention the Stuart Fielden thread. I find it flattering, as well as being quite sad.

Was that on today?

Did you hear their programme on Sunday.

The presenter spent the whole programme talking about the fact he saw Wigan fans leaving early against Warrington. If he had made the comment and moved on fine, but the guy spent the whole programme discussing it. I am convinced he was doing it to deliberately to get Wigan fans and rival fans to ring in about it. The best part was when a Wiganer rang up and said he was disgusted.

Re: BBC GMR : Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:24 pm  

even Barrie Mac was "expressing his concern" about the imports on the tries programme. Like was said on the other thread 3 or 4 imports out and 3 in. Pretty simple maths really.
Add to that the guys coming over will only help the younger lads come on. One of them (Lima?) is only on a 1 year deal so will come help the team, help the squad players and go home... Job done.
IL has said it makes for a perfect blend of youth and experience and I absolutely agree. Unfortunately that kind of sensible, intelligent club management doesn't make for filling air time. Kinda glad I missed it now.

Re: BBC GMR : Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:29 pm  

It's just another case of the media bricking it that Wigan are getting ready to dominate British rugby league once again

Re: BBC GMR : Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:39 pm  

Just shows how worried every anti Wigan díck head is getting by criticising everything that happens at the club. That comment by Saddened! is absolutely fantastic. Wigan are back

saddened is a grade A loser.

dont waste your time reacting to him ..it only gives his life meaning.
