Months or games ban for Ben is neither here nor there to me,what i want is someone from Wigan RLFC to come out & demand some realistic punishment for the initial offence by ho-aroo or whatever his handle is & complain about the diabolical refereeing of the whole incident from pitch level to video ref (what were those mugs looking at?) or were they watching last years RFL xmas party DVD at the time? Instead of cosying up with & agreeing with any rubbish doled out in our direction. Its pointless whining & whinging about always getting the crap end of the stick from hapless refs like bent man & useless judiciaries if we roll over & take their nonsense instead of actually disagreeing forcefully & pro actively on occasion when we have been duly stitched like this. Instead of moaning on here or in the pub when Mr L does nothing,hit him hard where it hurts most & organise a fans protest by non attendance en mass for first home game next season. Maybe then he might think twice if we ever get royally shafted like this,on or off the field in future. As to Ben,i personally think he was one of our best forwards this season & many others do to. Talk of selling him in the wake of this is utter tripe,maybe he should look at exploring some old loopholes ala messrs Roach,Boyd etc in the past? Im sure Madge could use him to help fill the Burgess void for a few months at the Bunnies & he would return to us in even better shape,then again he might just decide to stay down there with the marsupials given the Kangaroo court he suffered here!
Wikimann - I have not read any of the above and I bet I am not the only one.
It is unreadable in one big chunk. Can you try breaking your posts up in paragraphs so people can read them easily?

You will get more responses of you do.
I did exactly the same Dave, there are a few posters who do this & make it near enough impossible to read their posts.
Please use paragraphs
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
