Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR (Semi-Final)

totally outclassed KR in the 1st half, Completely dominant, and hence you usually get a bit of the rub of the green. KR players should learn to stay on their feet when chasing, as it was embarrassing watching them fall to the ground at the slightest of touches of a wigan player BBC coverage was poor...

Re: Walters on the bench

Junior was immense today but for me Luke Thompson was the best player on the field. By an absolute mile 80 minutes in that heat and intensity - just shows the reason we've signed him. Tackled everything that ran at him and took the ball in strong for the full 80 if we can get him and Havard playing...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR (Semi-Final)

one thing i've just noticed as i looked at the current 2024 stats (was posting about the albert goldthorpe) is that KR have 4 of the top 20 tacklers in their team (Batchelor, Litten, Minchella and Whitbread), so we are going to have to work damned hard to break them down and come out on top in this ...

Re: Albert Goldthorpe Medal Standings after 11 rounds of Super League

salford whitewash at this rate :) Yes, he's a good player, but i posted recently in another thread that there's a reason he never got a gig at Wigan, Saints, Leeds, Wire, and thats because he's as his level at Salford / Hull. However, looking at his overall stats 1 try and 10 assists, even Jack Wels...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR (Semi-Final)

1- 7 picks itself Havard O'Neill Thompson Faz Junior Ellis Dupree Hill Mago Leeming semi final isnt the game to put Walters in (unless he's had lots of time training with the 1st team) and i think i'd personally go Hill over Cooper on basis he's faster / more mobile and hasnt taken a backwards step...

Re: 'Relegate bottom team' Leigh Leopards owner Derek Beaumont's Hull FC dig and Toulouse promoted reveal

from what i recall of the initial IMG stuff, there would be a period of exemption from relegation but equally clubs cant rest on their laurels for too many years Wakey and Cas have done f*** all about their grounds, and only now because they've been told that they may not be in SL, have they done an...

Re: BBC coverage questioned after underwhelming viewing figures

complete lack of publicity and they wonder why no-one watches the game i saw one advert on social media, RL returns to the BBC this week, but they never actually stated which match or when it was on, so was a waste of a social media post i thought it was most likely Wigan V Hudds on Saturday afterno...

Re: Liam Byrne receives suspension ahead of Challenge Cup semi-final showdown

Rubbish great constructive contribution to the conversation :) It is your view that Liam is rubbish or this thread / someones comment is rubbish? For what its worth, i think he has a place in the team, certainly in the longer term with Cooper likely to retire at the end of this season. He may not b...

Re: Disciplinary Round 11
