Re: Wigan Warriors duo banned for Challenge Cup Final after landing charges

My biggest concern is the kicking. It could be a close match and we'll be at a disadvantage it Harry loses confidence after a couple of misses. IMO Keiran's was a red, and would have been in previous seasons. I reckon it does warrant the grade D charge in this current regime. Its the shoulder charge...

Man of Steel 2023. Can't tackle. Isn't stand off. :D

Re: "We’d love to do it’: Wigan Warriors reveal plans for US Super League game

Another pie in the sky money making racket that totally ignores the fan base. Yes, a small minority may fancy ( and be able to support) a trip to Vegas but RL will never, in a million years, be popular in the USA. I worked over there in the early 90’s and their entire sports news reports on TV were...

Re: Wigan squad for Warrington (A)

Bad coaching form Peet IMO. Marshall should have been off at the first sign of a niggle. Who cares if a forward goes to centre. French should have been off at HT even if peet wanted to play him, and protect our goal kicking surely. IMO French and Smith shouldn't have even been considered to start th...

Re: Worst refereeing cop-out of the season?

So it's a matter...

Re: Worst refereeing cop-out of the season?

To my eye the Nsemba Sneed incident should have been an incorrect PTB. Nsemba clearly puts the ball down to aid him regaining his feet, rather than regaining a balanced standing position and then playing the ball. On another day, with another ref, I think that's a hand over. I think this happens be...

Re: Salford Red Devils and Leigh Leopards receive academy licence boost

Good news, the more clubs developing talent the better. After all not everyone develops at the same rate and kids can be lost to the sport when there's only a few academy places.

Re: Challenge Cup Final Tickets

They don't tend to sell out these days so hopefully everyone will get the tickets they want.
