Lam wants 'flamboyant' rugby at Wigan

[TrueBlueWarrior]

Flamboyant - tending to attract attention because of exuberance, confidence and stylishness (Oxford English Dictionary) That’ll do for me!!

Castleford had this for the past 2 years, what did they win?

Nothing, but at least their fans got entertained and received value for money, It is nice to win trophies, but what's the point if you have driven fans away with a dull boring brand of rugby all season

You're only as good as your last game!
Not bothered what the entertainment is like so long as there's pots coming in!!

Last night, I watched the highlights of the finals from 1988 to 1995 on utube.(infinitely better than Come Dancing). THAT was flamboyant rugby.

Did you go to the GF? Probably not but anyway, it seemed like the only driving Wigan’s fans did was to Old Trafford to see their team win another trophy, meanwhile back in Castleford!!

Hence the name ‘Highlights’!!

Truth is though you have to at least try to marry the two, be entertaining and win trophies along the way, and while I did enjoy the style of play Wigan had last season it seems it didn't grab the lost numbers from the DW,which was a shame for the most part it wasn't at all bad to watch not like the previous two seasons.

If its true it that winning only mattered then the DW would be packed to the rafters when you think of the trail of success there's been at Wigan in the Wane era its a shame more people did get to see it.

I love how there is complaints before the season even starts.

What RL ground in England is ever packed to the rafters?

The point I am making is great defence wins trophies at any level and any sport. Please understand that I am all for entertaining/flamboyant RL but if it jeopardises winning trophies then I don't want it.

Totally agree though that a combination of great defence to allow flamboyant RL is the way forward but you have to earn that right and I hope PL brings that.
