Re: French

Have I missed something?

I've seen speculation around Hardaker, my understanding is French returned to Aus when injured to recuperate?

Re: The World Club Challenge is a little bit ridiculous’ – Australian podcast slams global fixture

Thinking on, I wasn't born in 87, too young for 91 and not able to go down under in 94. First WCC was St George in 2011, remember watching them warm up and thought they looked so intense we'd get hammered. 2017 v Cronulla was a dream come true for me! I remember thinking even if you win the SL title...

Re: The World Club Challenge is a little bit ridiculous’ – Australian podcast slams global fixture

I don't think covid has any or very little influence on this at all. Didn't Brisbane play Warrington in 2017 as a substitute or the only team willing to accept an invitation? For me, the World Club Challenge down under, is very much individual club wise, they either buy into it or don't. Sydney Roos...

Re: Wigan’s 2022 fixtures

Never been a fan of Thursday night games.

The biggest concern for me is the impact it has on an already declining capacity and TV viewing perception.

Just thinking on, if the C4 games are Thursday evening matches, surely this will dent crowds even further (especially if you don't have Sky at home).

Re: Wigan’s first game 2022

Leeds (H) R2, personally I think Hull KR (A) will prove more testing. Let's hope Peet wants to make the DW a fortress!

Re: Wakefield Trinity stadium update as chairman outlines exciting redevelopment plans

From a Wigan fans perspective, doesn't really have much impact if it takes place or its shelved. Personally, I think one or two grounds with 'old world charm' is something to embrace because eventually they ofcourse will be fazed out and I think they have character. Do grounds like Cas and Wakey cas...

Re: Channel 4 to broadcast SL

I agree with Morley re: Jon Wells!

Fantastic news this and a brilliant opportunity to promote the game nationwide. I really hope the commercial aspect is spot on and the games in question are carefully selected.

Step in the right direction!

Re: Kevin Sinfield completes 24 hour, 101-mile run for MND research – video

Absolutely cracking stuff! Even taking away his excellent work in relation to MND, I always thought he was a superb role model on the field and more importantly off! As for a knighthood, I'm sure I read an article recently which stated nobody from league has ever been knighted. Be truly amazed (all ...

Re: Wigan to face Saints at Magic

Personally, I think it's refreshing to play opposition that isn't Wire at Magic Weekend. As for Stains, suppose it depends on how optimistic you feel about 2022 and how successful and consistent we are. If we do play them four times and win four times, who's going to complain? I hope we do play Stai...
