Re: Cooper extends

He's obviously a very bad apple and is stinking the place out - need to get rid ;-)

Re: Challenge Cup 2023

Well done to Leigh. Deserved the win - played better for the majority of the game but credit to KR for sticking in there and dragging it back. It has to be better for Wigan that we have strong local teams: increased crowds, more local rivalry all adds to the interest around the town and money throug...

Re: Amor Spot On

Obviously we look much better with Havard back. I wonder why Harvie was only used for a small amount and came back only on the 75th minute. It's one criticism of Peet in that he does seem reluctant to give the younger kids game time - when we were plainly struggling in the forwards and I thought he ...

Re: Amor Spot On

Agree with the points above about size vs effectiveness. Saints forwards are attacking the ball from 10 metres back we have a couple of yards at best and after the first 5 mins mostly a standing start. It should be one of the basics for a forward. If saints players are fit enough to do that why aren...

Re: Cats v Wigan

We allowed Cats to gain far too many yards per carry due to zero line speed from the start. It's always a sign of how competitive we will be against top teams if we are quick off the line over the first 5 sets in defence. As a consequence our right edge were too often under pressure on our line. Sto...

Re: Cats v Wigan

The main issue wasn't Harry Smith, really not sure why people pick him out when obviously it was down to two main things. 1) Attitude in defence as a team: Absolutely no line speed from the off. we allowed Cats an easy 6-8 metres before any contact in every carry. They were on our line pretty much a...

Re: Miski

When Field is back i think we should move to Field at 6 and Rocky on the bench to cover 9 interchange and anywhere on the backline if needed. Miski deserves to stay - his strength coming out of our half and close to the line finishing are great assets. And with Field, French, Marshall and at times R...

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR

I feel Smith get far too much unwarranted criticism. Sure he's missed a few kicks in the past few games, albeit most have been on the touchline. He also made a couple of mistakes early on, but look at his involvement in many of the tries we score, especially playing without a recognised partner. We'...
