I read the RL Express. It is a shame that the media have somewhat of a bias towards us as stated with the League Weekly (based in Yorkshire).

I reckon someone should write into the RLXpress including some information and views above, would be interesting, even I got a letter published last season after 2 points were deducted.

Whats the Castleford letter count this week? :lol:

1 - wigan haven't even been found quilty yet so how can we be 'getting away' with anything?

2 - why is no-one up in arms that bradford haven't had 4 points deducted like they 'should' have done?

Any people have the nerve to say that we're paranoid when we say that everyone else is antiwigan

I got into an argument with some idiot from Huddersfield last time I wrote to League Express, but despite Martyn Sadler's often-ridiculous editorials, I still think it's the best of the two papers. League Weekly is rubbish, and not a patch on the Wigan-based paper it replaced when the old Rugby Leaguer and League Express papers merged.

To be honest, I'm at the stage where I'm almost hoping that we've gone over the salary cap by a large amount and we find a technicality to get away with it just so it winds up the anti-Wigan brigade even more.

I also read that letter two eyed warrior and from what I can pick out it seem's that the cas fan who wrote the letter blames wigan for going down I think they need to take a look at themselves before critsising other's as I seem to recall them breaking the cap to come into SL :angry:

Exactly my view. Wouldn't that be hilarious!
