Re: Optimism
Last year we were top of the league after several games. But ended up with nothing. Without 2 Harry Smith’s 2 drop goals and Field’s tries we would be lucky to be mid table. The one real test was Catalans away and we were blown off the park. The next two performances will show whether we have the r...

Re: Optimism
First of all every fan has the right to express their opinion. On reading through posts there are negative comments about the team and against some players in particular from some individuals. A team needs to develop. Success doesn’t come overnight. Yes Wigan could do with a couple of “enforcers” t...

Re: vs Hull
Cust has been poor for a couple of weeks now and doesn’t get half the criticism that Smith has thrown his way. Smith has started 2 games this season and he’s won them both with a last minute drop goal, he’s also set up 3 tries. Not a bad return at all. Maybe the cup game against Wakefield would be ...

Re: Daryl Powell: Warrington boss says 'not many teams fear playing us' in scathing assessment after cup exit
Risky move from Powell so early in the season to throw all the players under the bus publicly I have rarely seen this tactic work unless you're a well established successful coach Agree. Just watched the game Brilliant open fast flowing. All tries a joy to see. Well reffed over all. I'd watch rugby...

Re: Super League referees to start erring on side of caution with yellow cards
Enforcing the laws of the game, one step forward. Move back to indecisive indecision two steps back to Thugby! Players must recognise their wellbeing comes lower down the pecking order than the"macho" image wanted by some fans and most coaches. Lip service and Micky Mouse Spring to mind! ...

Re: Disciplinary
It was a head clash in the tackle. And in union, they don't really like 'upright' tackles (as they term it) in the first place, So the nett result is, if there's head-to-head contact, that's considered the responsibility of the tackler, and he's likely to see red. For all we moan, I think the reffi...

Re: Disciplinary
Watched Ireland RU play Scotland. Not really a union fan. However the discipline on show could teach RL a thing or two. Proper tackles No high tackles. No collision attacks Proper scrums well formed and binding although the scrum half still fed ball to the second row when scrum was "set".I...

Re: Disciplinary
Point taken Chariots. Wigan Forever 1985 makes the same point. I. think anything that gives emphasis to skills of our game rather than batter and brawn having the wellbeing foremost in the players and coaches minds is essential. It doesn't make our game less robust no it makes it more so and improve...

Re: Disciplinary
And you are obviously a netball fan, which if we carry on will be more robust than Rugby League. I On the contrary I'm aRugby League fan for many years. I enjoy a robust game played within the rules of the game. I enjoy the skills in game when played properly And collision attacks Are neither skilf...
