Put O’Neill loose and move Ellis to prop best option

I hope if the series goes to 1-1 that it doesn’t rain on the day of the decider, all the umbrellas on the western terrace isn’t going to look good for a sport that’s looking to push itself to an elite level

So they want all our better players going to NRL, which would make their league stronger and ours weaker all with the intent of having a better chance of winning a World Cup every four years ? Doesn’t sound much of a plan to me

It becomes the most important trophy on offer, when Warrington win it

Cheers Mike

Just got my tickets for south stand and we’ve been allocated row and seat numbers which we don’t usually get, is the south stand reserved seating for this game ? Not seen it mentioned anywhere

Can’t really be losing Eckersley, as well as his good form so far we don’t have much cover at all at centre. I think only Cooper Isa and Hampshire out of contract this year so got a bit of time to sort it

It would be a mistake to rush him back to soon because if he breaks down his seasons over, better being sure and making sure he’s right for when it matters

What did they lose WF 1985? Probably a bit of goodwill with the season ticket holders, they lost money on the Australia trip by subsidising Hull to travel and if IIRC they rented some offices in London to coincide with the game at Millwall to help improve their image down there, so the cost of them ...

It’s not a one off though is it, this will be the third time Wigan have given up a home fixture to help the NFL s quest for global domination, what did Wigan actually achieve from their road games at Millwall and in Australia
