Can't say more than that. Shameful from Wigan tonight.

Wigan were playing grubby tactics tonight. Not a style of rugby I like to watch.

Re: Dirty lovers : Fri Apr 12, 2019 9:45 pm  

More than coincidence that they all seemed to be leg injuries!!!

To be fair England did his tackling someone.

Re: Dirty lovers : Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:01 pm  

The one on Lyne went on report and Stu Dickens said in the bar after that it was a shocker. Said Lyne was stood up then hit under the knee front on.

There was one on Hampshire that almost looked like a cannonball tackle, and Fifita was clearly not happy with the attack on his ankle.

Wigan seemed to be employing a third man in to attack the knees/ankles.

The one on England was just unfortunate, looked like a knee clash. But no coincidence the rest were leg injuries which seemed the happen when a third man entered the tackle to attack the legs - absolute dirt balls. Fifita certainly wasn't happy

New coach, same very grubby Wigan and I hope that the injuries clear pdq.
I cant believe how disciplined we were not to go looking for some retribution, they certainly deserved some.

Lets hope that the disciplinary have a proper look and deal with them but, I'm not holding my breath.

lads did well to control them selves as wigan came to disrupt and it nearly paid off for them

RFL need to look more closely at teams aiming to cripple players

To be fair Lam didn't start off like that, has he been leaned on from above to change his tactics?

Probably thinking "we can't beat them, so injure them"

It was strange because I was giving Wigan credit for stifling our attack for the first 25-30 mins.
