We've found a bit of team spirit since hkr,maybe a few home truths may have been spoken who knows but we're alot better now.
That said ,that was tough despite the scoreline, physically that was tough for our lads,top effort.

Will the Saints game on 30th still be on, plus the semi 3 days later? If so, it'll be a tough ask, especially given our injuries and suspensions - and that Saints don't have a cup game to play. :lol:
Wigan ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saints ⭐⭐⭐

Should we prioritise, if so which one ?

Firstly, that was a solid “team” performance. Everyone turned up. No weak links, we seemed to have a low error count and generally good discipline. If we come out of the Wakefield game with no injuries I would be tempted to rest one or two key players against Saints. It’s clear that those members of the squad who are not guaranteed starters will work their socks off for the team. This squad is also capable of beating any team on its day in the play offs. We’ve not won the challenge cup for 7 years. It’s one of the two recognised major trophies. We need to make the most of this opportunity.

In years gone by we have seen the challenge as a club backed it and won em both.
Maybe things are different these days but we always beat

What has happened to this lad? He looked an alright player for quite a while but he’s really stepped it up a gear and he’s now one of the most influential player in the team.
My dads always like him. I hate it when he’s right!

I thought we might have struggled against the size of their team so I am very happy with that. I’d have been very annoyed at some of their tackling if Wigan had been guilty of it but then we ran some nice lines to wrong foot them.

Hull are the one team I just dont rate..full of big players sure but after that? all the guile of a man with hands of butter.

I thought it was a great performance. Solid defence and some exciting attack. We'd have beaten most teams I reckon. Nice to see more metres being made without the need for early kicks too, gives us lots more flexibility in tactics.

Nah..worst ever,shouldn’t ever play etc,etc,etc😀
If he carries on playing like he has been the last few games then I will be happy to hold me hands up, It looks like he's finally shook off the Shaun Wane way of doing things, Lamies way suits him better, Long may it continue :D
