Re: Wigan Warriors' Bevan French reveals crafty trick which saw positional switch

Love articles from the national press on RL as there is always at least one glaring factual error. Anyone spot the one in this? Correct. Bevan did not score in last year’s Challenge Cup final win at Spurs Didn’t he pass for Field after a run down the wing? He did, so if you're a journalist for The ...

Re: All time best team: a personal perspective from players watched from 1931 to 2023

I don't agree with that at all. The pack I listed which was Skerrett, Dermot, Platt, Betts, A Farrell and Hanley would wipe the floor with any pack in SL to day. Skerrett would be no different to any of the larger props who can only last 15 minutes a half today, Platt would slot right in as the mobi...

Re: All time best team: a personal perspective from players watched from 1931 to 2023

This is great. Really interesting.
I tried picking an all time Wigan team of players I’d watched (so almost 40 years worth) and I found it almost impossible due to the sheer quantity of incredible playing talent we’ve had at the club

Re: French And Field

Kevin Penny + Jamie Foster adds up to about 7% of prime Martin Offiah. That’s the reason they didn’t make it As Dave says he would be scoring tries for fun these days but let’s be honest he would never have left RU in the first place now or a hypothetical British winger with his gifts would simply g...

Re: French And Field

Last season the back three of Field, French and Marshall scored more than 80 tries between them. We were exciting to watch and terrorised defences. How have we abandoned this so quickly? Miski is great but as Dave O says we should not be detrimentally shuffling our back line in order to accommodate ...

Looking at the scores Smith missed 1 kick out of 5 tries that's 80% kicking.
He missed two so 60%

Re: Tonight's game v Wakefield

Not good enough that. The difference (other than a stupid last second penalty) was a 100% goal kicking performance vs 60% but we shouldn’t be losing that having got ahead so often. Also, deciding to run rather than kick the penalty we got in the last few minutes with the benefit of hindsight looks a...

Re: Tiaki Chan

Interesting signing. What has he done since Rush Hour 3?
