Re: IMG awards

I have read the IMG awards . I noticed that Leigh are grade B as of October last year. I was impressed with their promotion of the game. Driving off the East Lancs there were banners advertising the game and encouraging support, young children on the pitch at half time, fireworks (smoky yes), enter...

Re: Squad for Leigh

I agree with the inconsistencies in reffing, its getting beyond a joke now and not just for our games but all games. Also there was a penalty given against Leigh in the second half, i had absolutely no idea what it was for , totally baffled. Its like sometimes they give penalties and sometimes they...

Re: How can we improve for next year?

i know conditions werent great last night but i think with Mago and Nsemba on the pitch we saw something a little different. Different lines run by Junior and the ability to offload from both him and Mago. We dont need to be extravagent with it (ala Wire a few years back where they just offloaded wh...

Re: How can we improve for next year?

we can assume that Isa and Cooper will both retire at the end of this season, so that 2 1st spots up for grabs with Farrell likely end of 2025 (assuming they all retire when current contracts are up) ideally Walters or Nsemba will seal the 2nd row spot, and that gives us a different dynamic immedia...

Re: Consistency of officiating

Thing is this is a 4 page thread of inconsistent reffing that seems to centre around the red card for Byrne costing us the match. I think it was a red in the modern interpretation but also i see no-one mention Bevans try which was incredibly dubious and our only points in the game. So you have to t...

Re: Consistency of officiating

i thought players were supposed to touch or at least make a play at the ball? Just watching the game back and a Saints set in the 1st 10 minutes after a penalty for Field taking Makinson in mid-air. 5 plays and only 1 genuine correct potb. I know you dont want every single one pulling up, but only S...

Re: Ex SL star Jackson Hastings refuses to train with NRL feeder team after being axed

He always seemed obsessed with being a superstar which in itself isnt a bad thing but it seemed to focus most around the glitz and glam rather than the achievement. I think this is why he loved Salford so much because he was treated like a god by their fans but when he came to Wigan we had seen peo...

Re: Wakefield attendance

i've chucked plenty of criticism Wakeys way over the last few years and the irony is that they seem to have gotten some things in place the year they got relegated, and to be fair, they may be better for that. Hopefully now, they've shown that they are willing to spend, and need to continue to do so...
