Cut and pasted from the Guardian comments on the Exiles game:



"I'm glad its out the way so now Sky Sports can get back to their primary function of covering Leeds games. It must have killed them to broadcast a game where the Rhinos weren't playing......



So, on to Monday Night football. I wonder who Sky have got on that.



Well knock me down with a feather, its Leeds Rhinos for a change.

Some original scheduling is that."



"Wigan did win the league last year. Had the best attack and best defence, much in the same way this year, top of the league, again best defence best attack. Also add into that they averaged the highest attendances last year and the fact that they probably have the biggest following nationwide, and are arguably the biggest club in England with the biggest history.



Oh yeah also add into that they have the the 1 superstar of the game on these shores, the best player this country has ever produced, especially of this generation in Sam Tomkins. Also add to that, to the general public they play the slickest and best brand of Rugby to watch. And yeah you're right it makes perfect sense to have had the Rhinos on SKY 3X more than Wigan.



If the guy who is in charge of this in SKY isn't a Rhinos fan then I'll eat my hat. It's a joke!"

Craig... Was an article, or the comments?.... If it was some wigan fan he needs his bumps feeling.. Leeds are current champions, why would they not be on?

Comments.



Also there are no other league games this week, which seems to have passed him by.

Hell yeah. I know that this successful period is not only unprecedented but wont last that long.



It's a bit like being on holiday, you know it's not forever so you enjoy it as much as you can while you're in the sunshine.

Just stumbled across this beauty of a thread.



Always nice to have 18 pages dedicated to your club on another clubs board.

This guy has answered his own questions; why would SKY want to put on matches that involve one sided drubbings (which is part of the reason why Mr Tomkins has a platform to shine), when they're after competitive down-to-the-wire nail biters? I'm afraid that Wiggin will have to play at the same standard as us mere mortals to get more air-time

We could go over to your board and post our comments, but we know how tetchy your mods are. We saw what happened when Leeds beat you in both semi finals last year

That's simply because you can't post anything slightly controversial and without going over board too on the Wigan forum without getting banned, It really is a no go zone at times to post anything when Wigan lose a big game such is the zealousness of some of your tetchy mods



Personally speaking i love all this rivalry and banter between our 2 clubs fans but if you wish to provoke any responses from us Rhinos fans you'll have to come over here to do it I'm afraid

was that comment on the guardian by phil clarke?!?!

To be fair to the Wigan Mods, some of the.................... people.......... that come onto the Wigan board are not representative of the normal Leeds posters.. Like all boards fans come on after a game, and the Leeds "fans" that post are by far the worst and most offensive.... We all like a little windup, me especially

I got banned from the wigan forum for posting ''that's the way the cookie crumbles'' after the CC semi last year (serious).



Your moderators are pathetic and can't take losing, which is funny because you've had good practice at losing semi finals in the last 6 years.



So if we could actually post on your forum then the content of this thread would be spread out over your board in various threads and it wouldn't even exist.

That's the way the cookie crumbles isn't an offensive statement. It is however probably a rather irritating statement if it's posted by someone after a defeat, but you can't ban someone just because you personally find something irritating when theres nothing wrong with the statement.



Your mods are a joke.
