<t>I wonder if we're being overly critical. We had he game won at half time and knew we could score whenever we stepped it up again. Our intensity dropped, not because we have problems as a team, but because we had an eye on Monday. <br/> Looking how other teams, without new half backs, not needing ...

I enjoyed that enormously. Indeed, I am really enjoying this year. Wane coaches us to play beautiful rugby.

He was terrific. Denting the line, looking for work. He'll only get better as he gets fitter. All our gingers will be world class before the end of next year.

Did Madge make a significant contribution to Wigan RLFC? In his first year. The way he let that great squad go ...

<t>It is entirely possible to ascribe significance to the LLS, while accepting that the GF winners are the Champions. I think of it in the same way as the old Regal Trophy - of course people would rather win the CC or the league in those days, but when we won it in the early 80s it was a wonderful t...
