Many thanks Bilko. Look forward to hearing you both this season. Brightens our life in the deep south.

Joe Mills website gives details of all the upcoming matches he is due to commentate on. Beginning to have my suspicions that it will only be available if you subscribe to Wigan TV.

Leaving our pack aside, Warrington, even without 87-year old Ben Westwood, certainly have the dirtiest.

I thought that at the end of last season Joe Mills suggested that they would be broadcasting as part of the club's coverage. Surprised there has been no follow-up to that. BBC local coverage is a bit grim frankly.

I do dislike it when fans talk about players not trying. Not sure I've ever seen a player 'not try' - people have bad games and things go wrong but that's not the same. With Budgie, I thought that Farrell's injury combined with George having a scrappy season meant that the decision was taken by the ...

Farrell in one on one ball steal attempt - definite penalty and so on and so on. I hope, in a sad way, that they get the Grand ...

A well-coached average team will always beat a better team that is badly coached.

Probably less than he has played hooker. If we're not going to use his pace at full-back, put him at centre instead of Sarginson. It's currently a bit like buying a Ferrari (other makes are available) and leaving it in the garage, except for the odd 10 minute shopping run. I wouldn't play Navarette ...
