Re: Wigan Warriors' Morgan Escare linked with return to Catalans Dragons - reports

Just because the best in the world doesn't run from dummy half much doesn't mean it can't be effective. Super League is a different competition to the NRL and defences are more likely to struggle with quick hookers who get out from dummy half and can engage the defensive line before passing. I thin...

Re: Hull v Cat's

That's true; you see it in the NRL, but much less in SL. I suppose Danny McGuire is the nearest we have (he said through gritted teeth).

Re: Hull v Cat's

I only saw the end of the game and Cats were pressing but it was all over by then. Surprised by the result, but you never know with Hull. Always seems like they can be decent when they can be arsed.

Re: League Express Wigan/cas speculation

Maybe because Powell rates him and didn't want him to leave?

Re: Team

Watching the Superleague Show the other night, and there was a score which just encapsulated everything that Saints (and any decent RL side) do well, and Wigan just don't. Walmsley made a powerful run, got on the front foot with a quick p-t-b, Roby ran from dummy-half, then had a team-mate on his el...

Re: Sarge

You've saved me a lot of typing, cos that's pretty much how I feel! A few years back, I was making 400 mile round trips to home games and a fair few away ones too. But the current situation is dispiriting, and the news coming through does not give rise to optimism.

Re: Toronto Bound

Yes we did do OK with Escaré at full-back, but the team as a whole were playing a lot better then. Displacing Hardaker to throw him in at full-back in the current farrago seems quite another matter to me, and quite unwise.

Re: Canberra v North Queensland

The shirts are specials for Indigenous Round.

I've never seen the NRL on Sky, do you get the Sky crew commentary or the Aussies?

Jason Taumalolo is awesome!

Re: Team

We can turn this round by replacing Lam with someone who knows what they are doing. We could then treat the last 10 games as a run in to next year. We have a lot of talent in this squad, and lots of potential coming through. Consign Lam and 2019 to the dustbin of history and have a clear vision of ...
