On pitch fights show passion from the players, it makes you invest in it as much as the them.
The most dissapointing part of this season has been the lack of passion from the wigan team.

Bring back the biff , our game as been sanitized beyond belief , god knows what will happen if and when pull Sky the plug
Wigan is and always will be a town of Cherry & White
Re: Brace myself for a slagging dropping crowd
I agree with the aggression,hard hits and passion All done within the rules of the game. Calls to bring back the biff send the wrong message. Speed, skill and athleticism will put bums on seats not the skullduggery of yesteryearancientnloyal wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 9:38 am Agree you want aggression hard hits and passion. We lack that

One of these competitions would be an ideal way to reduce the number of times a team must face each other in the league.AncientWarrior wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 12:04 pm Sorry to adopt a “when I were a lad” attitude but in prehistoric times before Superleague we had the County Cups, and the John Player Trophy in addition to the Challenge Cup all of which kept the “pot boiling” throughout the season. If you got knocked out of one, there was another round the corner and crowd interest was maintained throughout.
As it would also reduce the number of league fixtures then each one would count for more so making them more intense as well.

Re: Brace myself for a slagging dropping crowd
Also the game would be better if the fu---ing referees would stop blowing the whistle every 5 minutes Hicks is the worst he ruins games, I think he must have been bullied at school .
In the NRL you sometimes forget the refs are on the field, they let the game flow a lot more and dont blow for minor incidents .
I am buzzing today getting it off my chest and saying what i think others are thinking, Hicks should he dropped to referee Shevington Sharks .

Re: Brace myself for a slagging dropping crowd
Funnily enough I was about this at work yesterday how the RFL have took the intensity out of the game.
There should be a change in rule about the shoulder charge, just don’t hit the head for example, and the fighting. Ok no one wants to see loads of fighting but it was part of the game to a point as rugby is an aggressive sport and players are passionate and get fired up. But to say you gonna get sent off when you throw a punch is abit over the top, I can understand if they headbutt or stamp on a player. But when abit of a ruckus kicks off, it makes the game abit tastier

It would create convo and interest (who made it and who didn't) and would give something different to playing the same team 8 times a year.

Re: Brace myself for a slagging dropping crowd
If they banned Ice Hockey fighting in Canada no one would watch its vicious and gets amazing crowds to watch . Also imagine Cage Fights were you are not allowed to punch the opposition fighter, no one would go.
