Why are Rugby League fans so blinkered

Was I the only one that saw Perry raise his elbow into Gaz Hock's face in the tackle and then slap his hand away before Gaz had a little slap back, Perry then hit out again in retaliation so Gaz walked after him.
Are the Snakes players as bad as, if not worse than, any team where their players throw the ball into the away supportes stand to goad them after scoring a try. Wellens comes to mind.
These Stains fans clearly wear some Rose Tinted glasses.

Thinking the same myself. Players have celebrated a try by throwing the ball into the crowd for years but when Hock does it, suddenly its a hanging offence!

Let's be honest about this did anyone seriously expect any different reaction?

That lot would despise and hate Mother Theresa if they thought for one second she was a Wigan fan :roll:

Did anyone else notice Wilkin with his hand on Gaz's shorts seemed to be guiding him forward hoping they would get a penalty. Also perhaps worth thinking about, maybe they would have got the penalty had Perry not hit Hock?? Hmmm :eusa16:

It was those idiots in the studio who started all this guff about moving off the mark. I would say though that not a single Wigan fan is blinkered about Wigan, are we?? :devi: :blush: :devi:

Why was "pretty boy" Wilkin feeling Hocks arse anyway or was he attempting a "Hopohate" with his finger?? Maybe RFL should look into that as well!

I dislike Wilkin more than any other Snake, he is a cheap shot merchant picking on those that dont fight back.
He tried it on again swunging his arm into Sams jaw in the cowardly way he is.

I remember Wellens chucking the ball into the south stand when Saints beat us at the DW a couple of years ago. its always the same story though, only Wigan players chuck the ball into the crowd and only Wigan fans leave early from matches. And as for the Hock penalty the ref might have blown if Wilkin didnt have his hands around the ball. If the defender is allowed to interfere then surley the attacker is allowed to move forward a couple of steps
