It's just a pity that there is no decent stadium up in Cumbria. It would have been the ideal place to take one of the semi finals and would have provided a major boost to all cumbrian rugby fans and dare I say it put a few extra bums on seats.

We played at St Helens behind closed doors in 2020

Didn't we play Leeds at St Helens about 6yr ago?

I went to the Milwaukee game, it was a fantastic week that we had there. It was always only ever going to be a one off match though as the Americans never really bought into it, although those in attendance loved the physicality of it. Geez I drank helluvalot of Budweiser/Michelob that week, I think...

By the time he's finished blowing it after 80 mins there'll be no pea left!

Jack Smith is another Wiganer so we will be fine

You can't blame them for wanting to go back home. Both have given great service to us and can leave with their heads held high. However the club should be working on a succession plan for if/when they do leave.

Just watching the latics game on TV The pitch doesn’t look like it’s cutting up as we saw at Hull KR and there is a good covering of grass on it. If it stays dry then it will be a good surface for tomorrow

and which part of Australia / St Helens are you from then, Dubbo or Thatto?

Why not let someone sponsor it each year and it can be called whatever the sponsor wants it to be called
