Re: Bill Francis
Was Bill at Gullick Dobson when you were MPE? By the way, he got a terrific send off irrespective of the Club's failure to attend. Many former players attended, including the great Billy B, Phil and Andy Clarke were coffin bearers, and his daughter gave a fitting eulogy. I didn't work for Gullicks,...

Re: Bill Francis
I missed this thread for some reason. Very sad news. Bill Francis was a hero of mine. Though I started attending matches aged 12 in the 63/64 season, I guess it took a while for me to start to understand the finer points of the game. It was watching Bill in the late 60s and early 70s, especially whe...

Re: LEAGUE. Joint Super League and NRL decision set to be made
Stupidity. It didn't work when we played Warrintion in Minneapolis in the middle ages. So you expected a single exhibition match to do what exactly? You need a multi-year plan, fully financed and thought through, with measurable and realistic targets at multiple points over the plan's timescale. Do...

Re: Ticket Info: Castleford (H)
Could I just point out for those who may be as old or as daft as me, that this thread refers to the home League fixture against Cas on 19th April, and not the away cup match which is the weekend before that, possibly 13th?

Re: Wigan to face Tigers in Cup Quarter Final
A great draw for me. Takes me 15 to 20 mins to Cas. A great walk "down the lane" as they refer to Wheldon Road. I stand around the 40 metre line nearer to the Wigan end and always get some good banter with Cas fans. I'll take my just turned 11 year old granddaughter for her first visit to ...

Re: 5Live to host Quarter-Final draw
We got revenge against Sheffield for 1998, now for 1970! I went from Yorkshire to Wembley on my BSA 250 Barracuda that year. Hadn't passed my test so I went on the A1. The clutch was dodgy and got worse, so I came back on the M1. Got stopped by police and ended up with a 3 month ban - no L-plates, d...

Adrian Lam on Umyla Hanley
Love this: Umyla scores a hat-trick for Leigh v Fev. Adrian Lam's comment: "His work-rate is incredible at the moment and he's a powerhouse. He's earned the right through pre-season and it's important we keep bringing through young players like that ." Leigh have no academy. They signed Um...

Re: Wigan Warriors: Player ratings with three above the rest in 'below best' Challenge Cup performance
Wigan Warriors were made to work in their Challenge Cup sixth round clash against Sheffield Eagles, eventually claiming their spot in the quarter-finals with a 44-18 victory at the DW Stadium. https://www.wiganwarriorsfans.com/posting.php?mode=post&f=3 The link doesn't work, Josie. Is it the wr...

Re: Wigan squad for Sheffield
Listen, up to now domestically we've played no-one out of the bottom half ,we haven't played well in any game particularly and everyone thinks we're the best thing since sliced bread, I see no evidence up to now that tells me that jobs for the boys should justify 7 year contracts. 🤷 So we're not in...
