Re: Wigan squad for Hull FC (SLR9)

There were a number of times where Miski just kept pushing through and breaking tackles, made some very strong carries - very good yesterday.

I must admit I was looking forward to seeing Douglas get more game time at the expense of Miski this season, but have changed my opinion now.

Re: Jackson Hastings targeted for Super League return with suitors revealed

I think Hasting's history at the various clubs he's frequented in Australia - I think all with him being a very expensive reserve player speaks for itself.

Re: Sam Walters ?

Really stepped up this season, tireless in defence as well as a damaging runner. His lateral movement is great for a prop so he can do long mins too without getting flat footed.

Re: Six again

There's a very illuminating thread on the RL Fans site started by Nicky K on this together with penalty count stats for/against Wigan compared to the rest of the league.

Re: Kaide Ellis signs new four-year deal

Good to retain that strong well connected group of aussies in French, Field, Ellis, Miski and AK. Seeing many of them sign long term contracts together with other stars like Smith and Junior just builds that desire to stay together and really achieve something special over the next few years. Keepin...

Re: Sambou and vaughan

Sambou looks a pretty decent prospect for a winger and the type Peet likes in terms of ability to carry out of defence.

Re: Hull FC swoop to sign Wigan Warriors forward

We should continue to pick players on merit. He's contracted for another year, we need to make full use of our salary cap and if we select players who are not as good just because he's playing elsewhere next year the coach isn't doing his job. At the moment Walter's form is keeping Hill out of the t...

Surprised Jai is the squad, even as a precaution I thought they may rest him....

Re: Hull FC swoop to sign Wigan Warriors forward

Looking at the impact Sam Walters has had at prop in the past 4 games he's put himself ahead of Harvie in my opinion - and previously we had been playing him much more as a 2nd row rather than mix of prop and 2nd row. So maybe not quite as big a loss for next season as he might have been. Still, a s...

Re: Reinforcements?

As it looks likely we will have Adam and Jai off for a good few weeks how do we reorganise? Move Zak to his more natural position at centre seems obvious but he also covered well at FB. Who can go to FB if Zak plays at centre or vice versa? The next two with 1st team experience are Farrimond - has h...
