Re: Referee for Saturday

Cue Dusty & The Pet Shop Boys - "What have we - What have we - What have we done to deserve this?!

Also a plea to their Mum - "Don't have any more Mrs Moore!"

Re: Tonight's Match - Wigan squad for Hull FC

On the question of defence - Field (allowing for the odd mistake which all FB's make) is much more use at FB than he is defending in the halves. Defensively, French, now that he's much stronger this season is a very useful defender on the wing and OK at FB. Neither seems to play to their full potent...

Re: Tonight's Match - Wigan squad for Hull FC

Well, we did play most of a season with Farrell and Isa at centre, It wasn't perfect but as an emergency, it worked, so, maybe the basics of centre play is something can be picked up more quickly than is assumed. Often, in games, centres move to the wing and vice-versa when there are injuries. I don...

Re: Havard ruled out for eight weeks

I'm certainly no expert but a while ago when Liverpool FC had a spate of hamstring and groin injuries, they traced it back to the surfaces that training took place on. Things have moved on since then and my case is nothing like a professional player but the only hamstring and groin problems I had wa...

Re: Challenge Cup 2023

If I was being unkind, I'd say that Zak Hardaker put more effort into that game than in his whole time with us!
Still glad that the horrible Mikey Lewis missed out - he was up to his usual tricks for most of yesterday. Shame, when there's some obvious talent hidden by all his shithousery.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR

I don't care about HKR, except to hope that the horrible play-actor Lewis doesn't win the Cup. It would help us considerably to have a massive win and that's all that really matters.

Re: Oliver Gildart to join Hull KR's Challenge Cup Final opponents in shock move

I wish him well. He was (until the last bit of his last season with us) a player who I loved to watch. It's possible that he never really recovered from that crusher tackle from the unspeakable Brett Ferres.

Re: Wigan squad for Hull KR

I think the best way that we could respond is to score a shedload of points and put points difference to bed for the rest of the season.

Re: Wigan Squad

As we are going to keep him in the halves (I assume) - it will be in training: So, Work hard to improve his passing. Harry Smith did it, so it can be done. Be more decisive in attack - you could see other players pulling up unsure of what was about to happen today. Work on a series of planned attack...

Re: Wigan Squad

Don’t know what Game you watch S.S. But I thought that was French’s best game at stand off Yet ! He looked far from lost and seemed to be having a ball . He may have been having a ball but none of the other players seemed to know what he was thinking. He ran into cul-de-sacs a lot - was indecisive ...
