Re: Friday - 200th anniversary of Peterloo
Percy Shelley wrote "The Masque of Anarchy" on hearing about the Peterloo Msssacre. This is part of a long poem: "Stand ye calm and resolute, Like a forest close and mute, With folded arms and looks which are Weapons of unvanquished war. And if then the tyrants dare, Let them ride amo...

Re: Wigan vs Warrington
Sarge has been playing well ever since he found out he was going. For me hankinson isn’t good enough to be in the team, reminds me of a centre Willie isa style player. Won’t let you down work like hell but that’s about it Your "back-handed compliment" for Willie is truly an insult. Too ma...

Re: Wigan vs Warrington
It is the summer and The BBC do not care what you think. It is that time of year when stories on the BBC reappear because the number of searches done in a topic and you are suddenly faced by the obituary of someone who died 10 years ago. The other group of stories are those that reflect the interes...

Re: Morgan Smithies not Great Britain standard just yet, says Adrian Lam
It's pointless and wrong to compare players in this way. Lockers has been an all-time great for Wigan, whose name will be remembered with the likes of Jim Sullivan, Eric Ashton, Cec Mountford, Ellery Hanley. I hope that, in 15 years time, we're adding Morgan Smithies to that long list of Wigan greats.

Re: Wigan vs Warrington
I noticed a few occasions in first half when French was calling or pointing to other players. Once, for example, telling Willie Isa to switch to wing, and also pointing out a gap in defence at least once. Looked a bit like a full back organising his defence. I wondered if this is the aspect of his g...

Re: Referee for Friday
I thought, if anything, he leant towards us tonight - apart from the Gildart sin bin, which should just have been a penalty. The double movement was harsh on Wire, but he sent it upstairs, which was fair enough. in what way did he learn towards us ,explain . Just my opinion, mate. I don't watch ref...
