Re: Tom Briscoe lined up for Hull FC return in Leigh Leopards player swap deal

He’d likely be backed at Hull FC Does that mean that Tony Smith wasn’t backed fully by Hull FC & was just a ‘fill in’ until the club got fed up? i'd read it more that he's at Salford where he's not had a massive budget and with the money apparently coming into Hull, he'd get backed there instea...

Re: Sam Eseh Jr joins Castleford on loan

good loan for him this as there isnt a reserve game til 4th May, so would be another 2 weeks til he got some game time. Ideally i'd give him 4 weeks there (if he's playing) then he's match fit and ready to challenge for the 1st team at Wigan

Re: Ryan Hall set for romantic Leeds Rhinos return with Hull KR departure confirmed

i'm afraid its going to take a lot more than Ryan Hall to get leeds back to anything like winning trophies or challenging for the top of the league again Bringing one ex player back who was part of their success doesnt mean the culture will change over night. it takes time to build and develop a cul...

Re: CCSF

If memory serves me right it was 1992 semi final versus Bradford at Bolton, that was the last time we played a Yorkshire team in a semi in Lancashire I believe that was the day Henderson Gill scored for Bradford and was cheered by Wigan fans all the way back down the touchline. Yes he did whilst of...

Re: Charting the remarkable rise of Wigan Warriors’ proud Cumbrian prop Harvie Hill

You missed out Sam Eseh. I knew i'd missed someone but it wasnt coming to me yesterday :). I was thinking more of one of our young lads from the academy but, it just adds more firepower to our pack, with another young hungry prop, with some good 1st team experience already at Wakey. Glad i'm not Ma...

Re: Charting the remarkable rise of Wigan Warriors’ proud Cumbrian prop Harvie Hill

the potential of this current pack is actually quite frightening, and could be our pack for the next few years, with a little bit of smart recruitment / development of youth we have Thompson, Dupree, Cooper and Havard, that you would see as the starting 4 when all fit. Mago, Byrne, Hiil and Chan. E...

Re: Squad v Castleford

good strong squad chance to rotate one of the props to give Cooper game time and poss give one of the young backs some game time i wouldnt go wholesale changes as we need to win the game, and keep some consistency ahead of the game v KR the following week Out of the backs I'd definitely leave Keigh...

Re: CCSF

Does it matter? Clearly to some it does reading comments on here and social media I personally think its better than Leeds last year as that was just plain ignorant how we got stuck outside, whilst the KR fans had 3 stands with a roof. If Headingley isnt available, then this is probably one of the ...
