5 October 2010 at 4:44 pm #48164Is it just coincidence, or is there something to read into the fact that all ‘jewels’ posts on this thread are prior to 8:30am or after 4:30pm.
I think we may just have to wait for the next nonsensical replies later today when the school bell goes, or he puts his sweeping cart away.
nice cushy job pal , tend to keep some nice easy hours 8-)
griff says ..
The fact that football is global means that far more people around the world play it and so there is therefore statistically less chance of you finding Wiganer’s playing for professional clubs. That said, there are Wigan lads playing proferssional football (Andy Griffin, Chris Porter).
i did acknowledge the fact that some wigan lads had made it, garry walsh being the example i used .
my point is not about the global game as you well know , it is the terrible fact that you as a club produce ZERO young players that make itAs only about 65 people play rugby league globally and one of the few places it is played is Wigan it stands to reason that there would be more Wiganers playing the game professionally. I wouldn’t expect a professional rugby league player from a far flung location such as, oh I don’t know, say Crewe, because no fu**er there has ever played the game.
see , its at this point your bitterness starts to pour out , the entire paragraph is just nonesense
As for no-one answering your question, what’s the point? It’s a rhetorical question* because we all and you know the answer is none. But so what because, contrary to what you say, no Latics fan gives a flyer if there is a lad from Wigan in the team or not.
so what :roll: ?
you are honestly saying you would not like wigan talent playing for wafc ? honestly !?
you also speak for every other wigan fan ? all 7 of them ?the more i read comments like this vain attempt at trying to convince not only me , but yourself that you dont care , the more you confirm the fact that you actually do .
in typical ‘tics fashion though you cannot let yourself agree with a lodger / chubbie / egg chaser etc etc5 October 2010 at 5:18 pm #48165see , its at this point your bitterness starts to pour out , the entire paragraph is just nonesenseYou might want to learn how to spell the word before accusing people of talking it. :roll:
It seems you also missed the English class at school where punctuation, capitalisation and basic grammar were covered.
You might be a big hitter on your own little bubble of a board where the world begins and ends at the Thelwall Viaduct but please remember there is a big bad world out there.
I personally see the fact that so many RL players come from Wigan as a complete failure on the sport’s part to expand beyond it’s natural heartlands ( well a handful of Northern towns where it is nearly as big as football )
I’m sure you would love to see Africans, Americans – North and South, Europeans, Asians let alone Geordies, Cockneys, Brummies and Midlanders playing top class rugby league but the fact is no-one is interested.
And no-one is interested in the nonsensical, hysterical drivel you seem to be spouting on here. Go back to your cavemen friends and tell each other that someone cares. We don’t
5 October 2010 at 6:25 pm #48170Jewel – with every post, you are doing nothing to dissuade me from my assertion that you are thick as pig-shyt.
And as for the paragraph that was “nonesense”? If you didn’t get it all you needed to do was ask me to explain it. And if it was “nonesense”, how do you know it was tinged with bitterness?
By the way, were you aware that I am a Wigan rugby fan, have always liked the sport, (don’t go watching live anymore, however) and am as pleased and proud as any of you lot that the auld enemy was beaten on Saturday and that the town’s team once again is top of the (admittedly very small) tree? It’s just the majority of the Warriors’ utter n0b-head, ill-informed, illiterate fans that get on my, and other’s, paps.
5 October 2010 at 6:37 pm #48171see , its at this point your bitterness starts to pour out , the entire paragraph is just nonesense

well done that man ! how long did that take you?
or did you just cheat and click ‘spell check’ ?i must apologise for the grammatical errors in my previous post , please forgive me for my totally unreadable comments
again though , i see no connection between foozball being global and your lot not producing the future of the club
then we have the comment that producing your own is a ‘complete failure’
that just about sums up the mentality . as long as you have your cash cow in big dave to continue to bank roll a failing team you remain deluded
i suppose man utd ‘completely failed’ in the production of giggs , beckham , scholes , butt , the nevilles etc , liverpool with gerrard and carragher, west ham with ferdinand and cole ??
unbelievable drivel

5 October 2010 at 7:23 pm #48175unbelievable drivelFeel free to keep passing things off as drivel because you fail to understand them. I shall try again and make it as simple as possible for you:
You seem to have only two things to say
1 ) lots of professional Rugby players come from Wigan
2 ) not too many professional footballers come from WiganThe reasons for this as several people have tried to get you to register in that tiny little brain of yours is that
1 ) hardly anyone plays rugby league outside of Wigan and a few other Northern towns so the fact that Wigan RL produces lots of players is not impressive, it is entirely logical given that statistically not many people outside of the M62 corridor ever bother to even learn how to play the game
2 ) By contrast, nearly every area of the country, indeed nearly every country in the world plays football therefore given a larger pool of players to select from, it is not inconceivable that football players may have originated from somewhere a little bit further afield than Thatto Heath or Woolston.
You seem to be trying to compare two completely different ball games, one of which you definitely know nothing about and I’m starting to have doubts about the other one. :roll:

hardly anyone plays RL outside of wigan.?
try opening your eyes to the massive amateur game that is thriving . oxford and cambridge uni’s , the armed forces the midlands, i could go on ..again , you go on about the global game of football , fair enough , so that is the excuse you will continue to role out to hide the fact you do not produce any quality youngsters ???
ok , you say it is not a problem.
why are the football authorities , both nationally and internationally trying to address a problem that you say doesnt exist or even worse doesnt matter ?get your heads out of the sand

Just a small point while your here again , With this talent in your youth ranks you keep spouting on about can you tell me your next three signings for next season ?
5 October 2010 at 9:45 pm #48184i could do , but its a rhetorical question , so no :lol:

Well in there TTY, coming from Melbourne Storm they’ll be use to the Salary Cap System in place at Wigan Wurrior’s half BACS half “Brown Envelope”!. :roll: :oops: :lol:
THE CHEATS!5 October 2010 at 10:16 pm #48186I’ve met a few good rugby men in my time (mainly members of my family, it has to be said) who can argue a decent case.
This berk is giving them a proper bad name.
Carry on, cock
5 October 2010 at 10:29 pm #48191yeah but what if jewel is really arky sitting in his lair(shed) with his laptop. cackling away to himself ;)

5 October 2010 at 11:23 pm #48199How Global is RL actually ? From what I can gather Australia is where its at its most popular and indeed where all the best players come from. For whatever reasons there have only been 13 RL World Cups since 1954 and Australia have won 9 of those ! It was won 3 times by Great Britain ( Not England ) but the last time that happened was 38 years ago ! Each time Great Britain did lift the prestigious trophy only 4 teams had competed in the whole competition !! There was however a massive turn out of 10 teams for the last one which was won by New Zealand who beat Australia in the final. Australia’s 12th final out of 13 !! I believe the Wigan coach to be of Antipodean background and so I honestly believe that Australia holds the key to the success of Wigan Warriors and has nothing to with the North West or England come to think of it ! St George-Illawarra Dragons will show em how its done if they can adapt to the freezing cold conditions expected for February ! Each to their own I say whatever sport you follow but football is far far far more popular than RL always has been and always will be FACT !
