No bites on the Wigan board so copy and pasting the same thing here. Between having a go on your sister and watching cash in the attic, it must be hard trying to fill your days when you're waiting for your next giro to go in.

Lol....
The season hasn't started and here's my post of the week nomination.

Simply don't appreciate the so called 'bad blood marketing ploy'.
It's juvenile.

The first game of the season with 2 of the top teams and the big picture is the start of SL with power, skill and athleticism on show - not a so called spat which belongs in the gutter along with The Sun.

SL should have read the riot act to the clubs. The sport is bigger than these 2 clubs.

We've been inundated over the off season with posts by the club to keep the Wolves name in people's minds but honestly speaking it's bored the pants off me.
I wanted a few weeks 'off'. (Changed most of my settings to achieve this eventually).

If we get the same brand of rugby as we did the 2nd half of last year, all the media posts in the world won't tempt me to attend.

Agree entirely

Didn't mind some of the silly stuff with Wolfie but I thought this 'Bad Blood' thing was ill-advised. Not funny, yes there is a fierce rivalry but let's keep it sensible. I suppose KF thinks because people are talking about it he has done his job but not for me

It's nowhere close to the bad blood in the 80's and the battle of bridge street! It's like boxers where they potty mouth each other before the bout and then hug after saying the other person is great.

The clowns who came out with the "bad blood" statement should be given their P 45s. The club is still tarnished with the Catalans escapade & our spokesperson is stoking up possible crowd trouble at Wigan. Time to get Karl a taxi,methinks.

Wasn't it a Warrington fan last year who tweeted that Robert Hicks was going to be shot dead on TV?

I guess they think all publicity is good publicity.

Spot on the lancs cup final where Andy Greg and Alan rathbone were sent off and the world war 3 game at wilderspool makes today's games seem like flower arranging convention
