True
It is happening already
I am going to submit the following article;
Wigan gain hollow victory!
Wigan secured an uninspiring and very worrying 50 point victory over a gallant never say die Wakefield team. Lacking 55 regular first teamers, injury ravaged Wakefierld were forced to play a team of schoolboy part timers. Amazingly, Wigan struggled and only scored several times late in the game.
The residents of Wakefield were unable to support their heroic team. Instead they stayed behind in an attempt to clear the picturesque Yorkshire village of snow. 100mm having fallen in the last 6 months.
The RFL has launched a save Wakefield charity campaign.
That sounds about right.
Or:
Crisis at Wigan:
The expected 100-0 scoreline never looked like happening, as the Warriors suffered on the back of a 23-3 penalty count against them. It could have been worse, as Gareth Hock should clearly have been sent off for wearing the #11 shirt, but Referee Ian Smith (whose Wakefield shirt was difficult to distinguish from the other Wakefield shirts), perhaps felt that 3 sendings off (for O'Loughlin, Leuluai and Richards) were enough.
Down to ten men, Wigan struggled to keep up their point-a-minute scoring rate, and the final scoreline of 96-4 was a disapointment to the paltry 16,000 Wigan fans who bothered to turn up, and were heard booing their team at the end, although some fans later tried to claim that it was the referee that they were, amazingly, booing.
When asked about his 12 tries, new signing Amos Roberts could only express surprise that the man-of-the-match award went to Jamie Rooney for defying his crippling injury to score what could have been the match-winning try.
The result lifts Wigan off the bottom of the table for the first time this season.
