Re: Jake dropped

Jake Conner was described by his coach at Hull as "a slug", and is old enough to know better.

I get the impression that Mikey Lewis is maturing. I'd be happy if Wigan signed a player like Lewis, but not Conner.

Re: Challenge Cup Final Tickets

I checked the RFL site the other day, but waited til today to try to buy 2 tickets from the club. All I could get behind the goal was "safe standing area" or similar. Baffled, and me and my brother are in our 70s and not standing, Next choice was near the corner flag (not good) or up at th...

Re: Wigan Warriors: The incredible stats behind Challenge Cup semi-final triumph to reach Wembley

Matt Peet has mentioned on several occasions about "playing behind Harry's kicking game" or similar but I doubt that extends to a deliberate policy of not gaining yards on exit sets. The luxury of having a kicker who, as Kev Brown often says, "puts his boot through the ball", es...

Re: Wigan Warriors: The incredible stats behind Challenge Cup semi-final triumph to reach Wembley

A question for our tactical experts from a mere spectator . . . I've noticed that some of best performances come when we seem to spend much time in our own half and rely on Harry's kicking to get down field. WCC and the semi-final being two examples, Could this be a deliberate tactic? The thinking m...

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

Harry Smith's kicking (and our chase) is the big difference between the sides

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

I hadn't thought about Broadbent being cup-tied. He's been good for them from what I've seen. You can look at us missing Byrne and Isa, but our squad strength goes much deeper than theirs, which should help us in what should be a tight game. I'm looking forward to seeing Walters debit, but this is n...
