Re: Scapegoats through the years

I remember shaun Edwards being booed when I was a kid. Usually for looking for a gap in the line. Gregory did that to thereby Closing his three quarter line down ,what we usually called "running" them into touch" effectively closing any gap there might have been,which, by the way cou...

Re: Time to reassess Adrian Lam?

Unquestionably, there is a different feel about the club now under Peet but to be fair to Lam, coaching a team through the height of the pandemic was quite a challenge. Despite this, he was seconds away from us winning the Grand Final in 2020 and in 2021, he was effectively without French, Field an...

Re: Hooker

Me too. I also "it's a known fact" amusing. It's a known fact that successive and successful coaches have picked Powell, but clearly some on here know better than them. Shaun wane didn’t as soon as he was allowed other options didn’t even have him him in the top 5 English. Hookers it's a ...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR

What is glaringly obvious we need a hooker with pace a big rough forward and after about 8 years without a goal kicker , is it just me who sees this ??? its time you got up to date. No team needs a "hooker" these day's and as for "a big rough forward with pace" your having a lau...

I would say if it has to be Golden Point it should be Golden Try, drop goalathon is not good to watch or a good way to win/lose, i realise we scored a try.

This is just my opinion
At first blush it seems feasible. Certainly food for thought

Re: Hook

You’re absolutely right Josie. So there’s no other hookers out there for us? We stick with Powell? Also Josie but how am I disrespecting him? I don’t rate him as a PLAYER and that’s my prerogative. That’s what people get wrong in here, I’m criticising his ability as a player not what he’s like in p...

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Ha! I remember that one. Great tackle. It was one of Hampson's trademarks, coming across field and hitting the winger hard into touch, along with uncanny ability to leak far higher than anyone under a high ball. If I recall he said he used to practice on a trampoline. He did. He was also a drayman ...

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Steve hampsons tackle on gary schofield in the regal match at bolton was the best i ever saw What a tackle that was. "12 stone of solid granite" Ray French said on commentary at the time. 1987-88 Steve Hampson was the best full back in the world [/quote Is that when he was awarded the Gol...
