Donny is just up the road compared to Friday's 8-hour journey to Wigan!

<t>Nobody is saying players born in England won't be considered. That would be just daft.<br/> <br/> I reckon anyway we have enough decent players in SL that we shouldn't need the like of Austin or Hodkinson. Or Reed, for that matter (I know he's injured). Is Austin *that* much better than, say, Sne...

<r><QUOTE author="markill"><s>[quote="markill"]</s>FPN deserves his charge and because it caused a big on field melee he could well get a ban. So wait for the reaction when we appeal it!<br/> <br/> LMS probably wouldn't have even got a caution if FPN hadn't reacted. That's frustrating because all th...

<r>Austin is a talent but still a work in progress. Hodkinson is deeply ordinary (decent goal-kicker, though).<br/> <br/> I would be mightily unimpressed with an England team full of NRL players."More than half"? Even Sam B hardly merits automatic inclusion on this season's form. And I can't imagine...

I'll be at Donny too, but if we play like that we'll get another hammering.

I watched Joe Burgess for the Bunnies last night. Didn't hardly get a pass all night, virtually his only involvement was to defend, defend, defend (with varying degrees of success).

I'll bet he wishes he was still at Wigan!

<r>People talk a lot about "the speed of the modern game". Well I watched an archive game on Wigan TV yesterday, Wigan v Saints 1998 from the Andy Farrell era. Modern SL (and most NRL) looks so pedestrian by comparison! The game was 'a thrill a minute' in those days; we've lost so much.<br/> <br/> S...

Last Wigan/Saints game I went to I saw a young 'Romeo and Juliet' couple, she in a Saints shirt, he in a Wigan one, holding hands. They couldn't have been more than 15-16. I thought it was so sweet!

It's more fans I dislike than actual players; (almost) anyone who plays our tough sport deserves some respect, I think. And Cas seem top of the league there. There's an ugliness about the attitude and atmosphere from their fans which I don't see with Leeds, Wire, or Saints fans, for example.
