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...

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%

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...

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

Dont forget Sam Tomkins was 17ft 6 and 250stone when he broke in to the time otherwise he wouldnt of made it

You're just being silly aren't you? I saw Tomkins in Tesco and he's maybe 17ft 2 at the absolute outside

I cannot remember the year now but I do remember a year pre Superleague when on the old fixture programme where Wigan won 28 out of 30 league matches but the 2 losses were both to the Wire and those two matches were lost as a result of Frano missing his kicks all game. The reason you won’t remember...

Slightly off topic, as I'm not sure that they got direct criticism, but there were players who may undervalued or under-rated by some fans for not being stars or flashy. Ian Potter, maybe Martin Hall, Brian Case-type players. How would you categorise Colin Whitfield? He was the only player I ever s...
