Catalan seem to have got fed up of paying for the tv production so no more rugby from the south of France for the time being, shame that.

Based on his input this season TL needs to sit all the games out.!!!

Smith: Keep building

Harry Smith previews Wigan’s Betfred Super League clash with Wakefield Trinity.

Smith: “We just need to take it to them, play fast and hard. If we can do that, we will come out on top.”

Watch the full interview on Wigan TV today.

Wigan should take inspiration from their victory over Wakefield in early April if they are to get the better of Trinity again this Friday, according to Harry Smith.

The two teams will meet for the third time in the 2021 Betfred Super League on Friday evening (7:45pm K.O.) with the DW Stadium playing host.

While Adrian Lam’s men came out on top in Round 2, Wakefield sealed victory in the second bout at the Mobile Rocket Stadium in June.

Speaking to Wigan TV ahead of the game, the Warriors half back explained how belief is on the up in the first team camp.

“There’s been a change in our confidence, but we are not getting ahead of ourselves.

We need to keep playing well, keep putting in strong performances together and hopefully we will put another good run together.”

Back in Round 2, Wigan ran out comfortable 34-6 winners, with Jake Bibby bagging three tries on the night.

On taking inspiration from the result: “We can take a lot of confidence in the win against them at the start of the season.

We just need to take it to them, play fast and hard. If we can do that, we will come out on top.”

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Liam Byrne is unavailable as he recovers from a rib cartilage injury. The forward also missed out on last week’s win over Huddersfield.

Morgan Smithies again misses out as he recovers from an ankle injury.

Zak Hardaker is unavailable as he continues recovery from a neck injury.

John Bateman misses out with an ankle injury picked up while on England duty in June.

Jai Field remains side-lined with a torn hamstring injury sustained during Round 1 against Leigh Centurions.

Bevan French too continues recovery from a hamstring injury, expected to keep the full back out for the remainder of the 2021 season.https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2021/07/ ... kefield-2/
Why no mention of Manfredi?

We know Bevan wont play again this season but are given updates on him whilst he is in Australia
I'm a better fan than you
Because I don't "Boo"!!!

Yes I bloody know transfer fees do not count on the salary cap for those illiterates that need it explaining to them because they assume everyone is as thick as they are :roll:

It's dead easy to understand - it's his turn in the firing line!

The team hasn't been playing well, not helped by depleted squad. It's hard for any individual to shine, or be at their best in these circumstances. So you pick a name out of the hat...bingo! Let's have a go at Tommy/ Sam P/ Jake Bibby/ Partington/ Bateman/ Smithies....and so on and on and on.

Apparently it's called "being a supporter".
