Re: Club Statement: Ticketing Situation

The current shenanigans about ticketin has lead me to reflect on how difficult it is now to watch a game of rugby especially for a casual or occasional spectator who isn't a season ticket holder. We once had cash pay on the day turnstiles when a casual speccy might say its a nice day I will go and ...

Re: Injuries

Keeping everything crossed for Mike Cooper. The guy deserves some luck and hopefully it’s not a long term one again. I’m not sure he’d have got back on the field had it been as bad as last time so hopefully that’s a good sign. Does make you wonder whether he was brought back to early and questionin...

Re: Thoughts on Head Contact

I'm sure that, in the first game of the season, one of the Hull players was taken off for a HIA using data received from his mouth guard. The commentators mentioned it. Why wasn’t Thompson? It suggests that they are not functioning correctly. How can you make that suggestion without having any info...

Re: Game Sold Out?

Why, when the sold out signs were up, were there still empty seats and a crowd figure of only 24,091, when the capacity is 25,032? Is this another RFL cock up? The actual capacity for the DW is 25,133. But H&S rules that it cannot have a full capacity now. The Good Friday game v St Helens in 20...

Re: Wigan vs Penrith

I’ve not watched it back yet but watching it live l also thought Kade Ellis was absolutely magnificent, never taking a backward step, repeatedly taking the ball into heavy contact without being bullied, and tackling anything that was in reach even when he must have been out on his feet. I also thin...

Re: Wigan vs Penrith

Thought the game highlighted the difference in physicality between SL and the NRL. They were on another level. We also got the "rub of the green" more than I can remember a Wigan side ever getting in 40 years watching the team. That said, Wigan really did dig deep and that alone has to be...

Re: Wigan vs Penrith

Absolutely thrilled we won. The boys did amazing and I think our defence won us that game. We definitely got some favourable decisions from the ref but that’s just the way it goes sometimes. Penrith made some uncharacteristic errors, not kicking on the last for the first 30 mins was strange but thei...

Re: Tanya Arnold on ‘huge’ BBC deal, potential audience & end of Super League Show

Who made the decision for BBC to show at 1730 on Saturday and clash with Sky Sports showing the Premier League?
