Re: Briers leaves for Brisbane end of this season

His replacement will be TL, absolute cert. Love him but hope I'm wrong. He obviously knows the club culture inside out, arguably, he helped create it, but we need someone with experience. We're still not consistently up to Saints standard, but we can beat them comfortably on our day. Lets not throw ...

Re: ARE WE WORRIED

We do have the players to do better up the middle, and, frankly, we need to. Now that Paddy Mago has scored his first try, he may get a taste for it, which has to be good. As Mat Peet says; with his size, strength and footwork he should be able to. I'm looking forward to it. Kaide Ellis needs to do ...

Re: IS THIS RIGHT?

Hard not to keep politics out of the forum when its things like this. No, it is not right and will never be right. Its immoral. Shame Radlinski's touchy-feely approach doesn't extend to this. I expect the allegedly hard-nosed 'business is business' types will object, but something as blatantly explo...

Re: Matt Peet: Harry Smith can lead Wigan’s future

What do we think about Harry's partnership with Cade Cust? Is that one for the future. Has it contributed to his success? I'm a fan of Cade's, I have to admit. He was a good buy, by no means flashy but a grafter, steady and doesn't shirk it. A good future choice for hooker, some might say. Not me bt...

Re: Bevan French

At last. Thank you. Now I understand, but it took 3 pages and a lot of words before I got an answer to my fairly straightforward question. He did seem surprised to be subbed though, so perhaps Peet new more about his hamstring than he did.

Bevan French

Just back from the Hull game. I've got to ask. Why did Peet take him off? It seemed as if he couldn't believe it when he was replaced by Kaide Ellis. Neither could most of the crowd.

Re: Powell pens new deal

Sad the way Wigan fans take against certain players. Unjustifiably in my opinion. Powell and Partington currently, and Danny Tickle one from a while ago. All good players, but no matter how well they play, still the same criticism. Bibby and Isa as well, now I think about it. All this vitriol and me...

Re: Your opinion on past players

Can't let the 'punchbag for Tallis go' without a comment. Tallis let loose a flurry of punches, 9 or so if you believe the Aussie commentators. Terry eventually got 2 or 3 bobby-dazzlers in, and when they were both walking off the field, Tallis's face was in just as bad, if not worse state, than Ter...

Re: Partington

There’s controlled aggression or stupidity, Ollie is more on the stupid side. Acts the hard man, gives away silly penalties. He’s not good enough either [/quote] Its sad the way fans take against certain players, but typical. Oliver Partington is an honest tryer who never gives anything less than 10...

'The See-you-later-twins'.

Loved Brian Noble's description of Bev French and Jai Field after Jai's try. 'The See-you-later-twins'. Brilliant. It must be worth a t-shirt or poster at least.
