This all started from Cps comment of "You obviously never played sport to a decent level. Winners are never satisfied with mediocrity WIN or lose. Stupid fans are blinded by a result!"

Some of that was inflammatory but This bit is quite astute "Winners are never satisfied with mediocrity WIN or lose. "

We all want Wigan RL to be the best and I am sure both CPW and TBW will both agree that the above quote is a sound assertion.

I am equally sure you have both played sport to a high level and so have I but can we cut the mud slinging and get on with the rugby!

Why is it that when ever we win by a big score, it is always more of a case with some that the other team played bad rather than we played well.

Come on, there have been occasions every season when the same could be said by supporters of other club's about us when their team has beaten us by a big score.

Every dog has its day, but we have more good days than bad!

How is it obvious that Hampshire has an attitude problem.
I never said that we won solely on their performance, just how much it may have had to do with our winning.
Did you think Hull FC played really well on Thursday night?

But he didn't link being stupid to how good you are at sport! He questioned what level I had played sport at which is ridiculous when you don't know anything about that poster other than a username. He said stupid fans are blinded by a result which has nothing to do with the level of sport you played at.

I agree with the second statement about winners are never happy with mediocrity, win or lose, however in this situation the result away to Hull after our previous away performances and some at home was a little better than mediocre so it was an irrelevant comment at that time!

Hampshire and Williams played at 6 and 7 respectively in a successful academy and 19's side, why change the cogs of perfectly working clock..... A bit late in the day going into the 8's thingy-me-bob.

I can't even play tiddlywinks but even I know Hampshire should be getting far more game time than he has been doing.

From the matches I have watched he looks like a great attacking player who needs a fixed position that gives him more opportunity to show that skill rather than just being lumbered with "he's another Sam stick him at full back" argument.

With next seasons rule changes he is going to be (in my opinion) a very important player to have in your side

The best form of defence is attack!!

Spot on BM, if GIVEN the chance I am sure Rocky would bring more of the Hampshire doubters on side.
