Re: Video Refs

Actually, I think we may have got it right in RL. TMO makes a bad game worse and a slow game slower in the boring union. VAR in football was introduced because referees on the pitch were making too many errors so who did they put in charge of VAR? The same refs who were responsible for it having to ...

Re: Seven Betfred Super League clubs awarded Grade A status

Living in the South (don't worry, I'm having treatment) selfishly, being able to see every game live would be great. I could watch every Wigan game live. However, I worry that it will lead to a decrease in numbers of people making the effort to go and watch their team live. Dedicated supporters will...

Re: Seven Betfred Super League clubs awarded Grade A status

I wonder if in this brave new world, there might be a place for a revolutionary concept. Let's call it - winning matches. In this, a team enters a league - wins more matches than anyone else and does something called Winning The League. On second thoughts, it's a silly idea. I assume the Cup Final w...

Re: Regan grace

Out of Season story (I hope.) He's hopeless in defence.

Re: Luke Thompson

Does this mean that we now have: Havard, Cooper, Mago, Thompson, Byrne, Hill, Dupree, Ellis as main props with Chan, Douglas & Makin as back-ups? I'm assuming that Nsemba & Walters will be second rows along with Farrell & Shorrocks (assuming he's still here) & Isa - Smithies at LF (...

Re: Referee for Saturday

Ellis will be banned for damaging the grass with his boots as he walks on and the rest of the team will say 'Good Afternoon' to Moore and be banned for foul and abusive language.
And if we still win - Moore will get the final just to make sure of the end result.

Re: Referee for Friday

A classic example of that was when Briscoe was pushed back over the line for what would have been a drop-out. Moore signalled that his feet were off the ground and brought play back to where the feet were raised. Quite correct (although Briscoe himself lifted his legs not the Wigan players) but I ca...

Re: Tonight's Game/Wigan squad for Leigh

Blimey - didn't Leigh whinge! Even Charnley (who I like and still rate) never shut up. They should sign Mikey Lewis and then they would have the full set.

Re: Referee for Friday

He was ineffectual, inadequate and poor for both sides. The tragedy is that we will get him for either the semi or the final as he is the current RFL favourite son. Too many irrational decisions to count but typical was the last action of the first half. O'Neill is tackled as the hooter sounds - he ...
