Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Used to enjoy watching Du Toit too. Aggressive, raw 2nd row. Too short a time at Wigan. What happened to him - why did he leave?

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Steve hampsons tackle on gary schofield in the regal match at bolton was the best i ever saw Ha! I remember that one. Great tackle. It was one of Hampson's trademarks, coming across field and hitting the winger hard into touch, along with uncanny ability to leak far higher than anyone under a high ...

Re: Ryan Hampshire reflects on his return to first team action

A really good 2nd debut from Ryan.

a couple of very nice passes in the build up to two tries, looked sharp both in defence and attack and wasn't afraid to run at the defence. He'll make a big difference to our attack and already takes the pressure off Harry as our previous single point of attack.

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Credit where it's due. Mago had one of his better games. Made plenty of post contact metres, his first run in the 2nd half left Holroyd on the floor and allowed Powell to jump out and put Faz into space for our first try in the 2nd half.

Re: Morgan Knowles sees red - again

That's a shocker.
At any point in the game that's a bad tackle.
He's out for a at least 3-4 games.

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

That was a game. Probably most nervous watching it as I've been in quite a while. We showed a real attitude there to get back into the game and lots to like especially in our backs. Good to hear Peet admit he got it wrong not giving Nsemba enough time last week. In my mind he displayed more attitude...

Re: Wigan Vs Leeds CC

Happy with that team.

Pace back in the side with Marshall and Hampshire.

Ball playing loose forward.

Ellis back and 3 forwards on the bench

Looking forward to seeing Nsemba get more time

Re: Wigan V Leeds 12/05/23

Typical Leeds performance and something they've done to Wigan for years - but never quite so convincingly. It's almost like it's their game plan to play awful, let us get complacent then start playing with an attitude where they make their own luck. I can't recall seeing a game which looked like it ...

Re: Luke Thompson

I imagine we would be the fallback option if no AU's clubs are prepared to take a risk - especially if his ankle doesn't fully recover this season in time to prove himself. It has all the hallmarks of being turned down late in the day or signing a player still with injury concerns. Either way looks ...

Re: Ruck speed

The ref was constantly shouting ' Surrender' when the wire players went to ground - I've never heard so many calls. Naturally we exploited that as the rules allow/. It's strange that wilkin makes such a big thing about it when only a few games ago Cats were praised for controlling the ruck against W...
