It's true. I think he's gash.

That surprises me. Your usually a good judge of players.

It's probably my fault.

I think I said he was half decent once so G1 (by default) has to take the opposite view so we can have a debate about it.

He's hardly gash. Can play anywhere in the backline and can fill in at 9. He's a decent utility player.

Quite.

Despite all that's been said about the title not being won until October, on the basis of the weekend's games so far, Wigan have been the most impressive side in terms of improvement over last year.
They will be very strong title contenders come play-off time & we need to up our game considerably if we are to be champions again.
McGuire has instigated a massive improvement in what is basically the same team that Noble had.
As expected Warrington under Smith have also become a better side, as I think we all thought they would be.

Agreed.

That said, I still have nagging doubts. McGuire has flogged them to get them into shape. How will they hold up in a few months time?

One of my other thoughts on today's game was do Saints arrange it so that all the ugliest women in the ground sit or stand at the front in full view of the TV cameras?
I hope they get that sorted before they move to Tesco Towers.
I'm just glad that I've not yet invested in HDTV.

They'd frighten a police horse in't fog some of them.

No they arrange it so the best looking women in the ground sit in front of the cameras.

Wigan look certs for a grand final appearence, barring a collapse in consistency.

They've made the eliminator the past 3 seasons despite being inconsistent in the regular season, so you have to think under the new coach they'll go one step further.

It's going to be tough for us to claw our way back into contention now, and if we do it'll be tough for us to get that other grand final place alongside wigan (whom will surley make it?).

I understand that for the crowd shots at Knowsley Road they use George A Romero as director of photography.
