Yep, I'm aware of the tactics they used for the Quins game, and have been extremely impressed with the back-room staff at Wigan, my comments were purely based on a post6 about empty seats in the Wire end. Bot sets of fans got behind the game and the concept, and I don't think either club deserves criticism for getting the largest regular SL crowd of the year.

Halton Stadium in super league 2011

Yes, apologies I was referring to their KR stadium and even if they stayed there it shouldn't over-ride everything else that is good about the club. -
Yep, was pleasantly surprised with the Saints crowd, especially when they have already had 5 lower crowds than the game against Quins, which is probably quite unusual. I know Warrington make a bit of an effort for games like the Quins and Cats games, with more promotion and offers, and it does make you wonder why they don't do it more regularly. I assume that Saints did something different for this game with regards the promotion, although as you point out, it may have just been the day the game was played.

Why should any club be kicked out due to one piece of criteria? They will rightly lose that point, however they are still in a better position than many other clubs, based on support, turnover, capacity, on-field, youth etc. -
I genuinely think this game has made you crack up a touch! Any chance of backing up some of the above? What did I spot about Tomkins? These were my comments about Tomkins: Must admit I wasn't happy with that at the time, I was just relieved he wasn't hurt. then: I don't think it was great, and at the time (with beer and 3D goggles on) I was calling for him to be binned, but then I do think the slow motion replays make it seem worse. It was more the lateness for me, as I don't necessarily think he attacked Myler's head on purpose, although that was the outcome. I would expect a warning about future conduct tbh. followed by: As for Tomkins, like I said earlier, I was disappointed with it, and I didn't think there was any need, but let's see what the panel do, and I will accept that. So from the above, how are your comments about me spotting Tomkins all manner fo dirty deeds? Seriously you need help, as you are reading stuff that isn't there. Simply because we had a disagreement about Morley and a previous incident, you are too stubborn/stupid to have a sensible conversation about anything else, although that hardly worries me. As for your pathetic comments about not attending games, I have addressed them elsewhere, and the point certainly isn't worth going over twice.

I agree with the principle of the rest of your post, although not really sure what you are talking about here. It wasn't 1 man who bank rolled the Wire project. It is also longer than 5 years. Our first game was played there almost six and a half years ago. -
Ah, with you now. I think at times they held on the same angle for a little too long, and I wonder whether that was simply due to lack of experience with the new technology. Some of the angles didn't work,some were weird, but overall, I thought they were very good once you got into it. Yep, I do agree with that, and I suspect that I was out with a couple of people in a busy lively bar reduced the commentary impact, but moving forward I would definitely ask for the correct commentary.
-
Not that this post is worthy of a reply, but simply to highlight how stupid your post was, here goes. I live in Edinburgh however still have a season ticket so the club gets my money. I have attended several games this year at considerable expense, and attended my last game just a couple of weeks ago in Wrexham. Try reading some of the threads instead of looking to make racist remarks to the Aussies or being a smart-###### and you will see me commenting on plenty of games I attend. Hope that's okay with you, let me know if not. So what are your thoughts on 3D RL, or are you just here to sidetrack threads you are clueless about? Seriously, why did you post on this thread?
-
Thanks again for your expert analysis.
-
Ha ha, you are showing yourself up big time! You love to come on here all high and mighty, yet as soon as you lose a game, you act like a little girl. Where have I squealed like a pig? Seriously, quote me, as you are almost as mental as Paris and Lobby - I must admit to wondering whether you are all the same person! You love to make out everyone else is a ##### and against your beloved Cherry and Whites, when in fact, you are clueless, and prove it time after time, despite very rarely giving your opinion in favour of attacking posters.
-
Well, thanks for your post but it is completely irrelevant to the thread. I assume you went to the match, so haven't seen 3D RL. Why did you feel it necessary to post such a ###### opinion on it? Not everyone wanted to go on Friday, or indeed could attend, so your comments weren't really useful when discussing 3D. Wonder if some 3D abuse will come my way now.
-
Couldn't agree more with this, and love the fact that fans on here stilllove to rip him to pieces. His pace and energy around the middle of the park is a breath of fresh air for us! Last night, had he had teh odd bounce he would have had a hat-trick.
-
Quite disappointed to read your comments on the support. It was announced (on your precious Wigan board) that Wire had 600 seats left at the start of Friday, meaning that they had sold around 4k, based on a 4.8k capcity (5402 full capacity minus 10% H&S capacity reduction = 4,800(ish)- although this may have been 15%). This means that with the Friday sales Wire probably took around 4.3k, and Wigan took around 18.4k. Considering the fact that you got 18,605 versus Quins at home, the fact that you attracted fewer fans to a game like this should be a worry? You probably had around 17k against Saints, so you are actually bang out of order attacking the empty seats in the Warrington end, which legally couldn't be sold.

So you are saying that Mathers isn't too good for Hunslet?

Disappointed, although not surprised with some of the responses. The three late hits were penalised, and will get no further action. Anyone who can defend the O'Loughlin tackle and then moan about Morley or Carvell last night seriously needs their brain checking! I agreed that the O'Loughlin tackle was no big deal, but then certain people who agreed seem to now struggle now it was against their precious players! As for Tomkins, like I said earlier, I was disappointed with it, and I didn't think there was any need, but let's see what the panel do, and I will accept that. PADGE - One quick question - you are great with the rules, what are the rules around theextra penalty after the try? Is it if there is a foul prior to the try, and the fact that Myler had scored and play was technically dead a factor? Thanks in advance!

I love beer snobbery. How the feck can anybody be snobby over the fact that they prefer a beer over lager? If it makes them feel self-important then go for it, tossers.

Mick Potter confirmed as the new coach of Bradford
Dave T replied to Tommy The C5t's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
OR, just perhaps, Leeds have been slightly better than you during tha last two years. Radical thinking I know, and the kind of thinking that the most arrogant fans in the league don't generally go for, but perhaps he didn't stand a chance. -
Disagree with the above about the angles. We watched it from way below the screen and it was awesome. You really don't need to be at screen level, and I would be checking with the pub that they had it set up right if that was the case. We couldn't have reached the screen, so it was at least 9ft up on the wall. I didn't see an issue with the angles at all. Almost every angle was 3D, with only one or two replays in standard. Also, with regards to the sound, we had the same issue, and whilst we may have missed some things, it took us ages to realise that they had the wrong commentary on and it certainly wasn't an issue. In fact, it was during the half time interviews we realised.
-
Yep, that's why I am being quite restrained on the thread, and couldn't possibly get way with some of the expressions I used live at the time! -_-
-
I don't think it was great, and at the time (with beer and 3D goggles on) I was calling for him to be binned, but then I do think the slow motion replays make it seem worse.

That's the point isn't it, Wigan couldn't have scored more tries as the defence was outstanding (best I have seen this year from us). Perhaps Wigan should have done better in the opening 20, but they didn't do much wrong. They kept the ball and tried to grind us down. I was worried after 20 with the amount of defensive work we had done and the impact it would have later on, but then Wigan started to make the same forced and unforced errors as us so it balanced out thankfully! As for your last line, are you getting a touch worried?
-
Must admit I wasn't happy with that at the time, I was just relieved he wasn't hurt. They do seem to have had a clamp down on the hitting the player after they have passed the ball though, which you can't really argue with, there were three penalties for it last night.
