More twoddle

Post by Matthew »

Congratulations must go to Andy Hampson at Sporting Life - whilst talking utter sh*te he manages to put the boot into Wigan at least twice!

http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... olumn.html

the best bit is:
yet more anti-Wigan drivel was spouted
What is needed is sustained success built on a solid and expandable foundation. The Dragons at least seem stronger in this area than London or Sheffield, being based as they are in a rugby league stronghold.
Excuse me? Is what now? Apart from the record score that they will concede against stains in the final - what success is he talking about? Finishing bottom of SL last year and being bang on course to repeat it this year?
yet more clap trap was added
The London club, now Harlequins, are still battling to win over western Europe's largest city and seem to hit trouble every few years.

The latest worry concerns chairman Ian Lenegan, who steered the club away from crisis by orchestrating the tie-up with Harlequins but is now linked with a takeover at Wigan.

This may be great for the Warriors, but it could once again leave the London club's future uncertain.

The fans down south are probably used to this, but they deserve better luck for their loyalty.
So obviously it's Wigan's fault that Lenegan wants to fulfil what must be every fans dream and buy the club he has supported his whole life?

If any club's fan deserve a bit of luck then surely Wigan's must be first in the queue - they supported the team last year when relegation threatened and will still continue to turn up as the RFL use whatever loophole they can find to make sure our SL season comes to nothing.

Perhaps the RFL could rule that it is against the spirit of the game for Lenegan to buy Wigan and make him buy a team in france to increase the television revenue?

Interviewer: So that obviously means that you're not going to St Helens and you're not going to Leeds?

Frano: I don't know why I would ever want to go to St Helens or Leeds
