Where does Bevan French stand

Over the last couple of years Bevan has produced some amazing moments for the warriors scoring brilliant tries enabling the team to win matches and win trophies. Simple question where do you think he ranks? Is he Wigan’s best ever player compared with the likes of Boston, Hanley, Edward’s? Is he our...

Compare Super League and NRL

At the start of the year when we beat Penrith and played the early rounds of superleague the standard of Wigan and some of our opponents was really high. The standard of superleague and NRL was comparable of course the NRL had more physicality but Superleague had a higher skill level and was played ...

Wembley tickets not arrived yet

I bought my Wembley tickets over two weeks ago. Paid £80 for two tickets and £40 for a car park pass. Car park pass was delivered electronically within seconds. I rang the ticket office last Friday to enquire where they were and I was assured they would be sent out in good time. I have still not rec...

Re: Wigan squad for Warrington (A)

It seemed like today Warrington were giving the two points away as a gift and we didn’t want to accept them. Very ordinary performance too many players perhaps had an eye on next week, hopefully got that out of our system and give a good performance next week when the level of opposition will be far...

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

Excellent result and performance in the semi. Big praise to Matty Peet and the coaching staff for doing their homework. Hull KR had their main threats neutralised ie Lewis show and go picking out the centres and back row forwards running into gaps and the big left shift looking to put Ryan Hall into...

How can we improve for next year?

With the contract extensions announced it seems like our backs will remain very stable for the next few years. We have also strengthened our forwards during the closed season so the question needs to be asked what signings can be made to strengthen the side for next year. The only possible area I be...

Re: Consistency of officiating

By the time this happens our game will be ruined. Matches are not decided by how good the two teams are but by what colour card the ref pulls from his pocket.

Re: Consistency of officiating

Most ironic thing about this debate is that I have not seen a really bad tackle this year. Thirty years ago you had the likes of Les Boyd, Kelvin Skerrett and Dean Sampson dealing out the swinging arm jaw-breakers which really could do some damage if they connected. What we have seen this season is ...

Consistency of officiating

This season it seems that each week one or more teams seem to have major issues with the standard of the match officials in superleague, and this week it’s our turn. Having been to St Helens this afternoon I can honestly say that the turning point of the game was the sending off of Liam Byrne if he ...
