Is this a price list? If so, where can I get the first one? It's coming up to Christmas and it sounds like a nice little stocking filler.

It has recently changed. Before they could intervene and even award penalties for anything but now they can only intervene and award a penalty if the offence missed by the on field ref is a yellow or red card in the opinion of the VR which surely last nights incident was

Shame to go out of the playoffs, but went according to league placing. Losing cuthberson and Holroyd since Wembley meant we were always going to struggle in the arm wrestle, losing Ava and mik in the game made it harder, and I guess that lead to some of the more unstructured rugby we saw. After the opening 10 minutes, to draw the remaining 70 mins was an achievement in itself.
The pre agar team would have folded like a deckchair

Onwards to next season, a couple of decent middles and we'll be cooking on gas.

You bring the stockings, Tomkins will fill them for you.

I thought you were very hard done to last night. How Catalans didn't, at the very least, have men in the bin is beyond me. On the back of losing your two props early on I thought you showed guts and determination, so much so I found myself willing you guys to win. A rare event for a Wigan fan as you can no doubt imagine!

With the CC in the trophy cabinet and obvious strides forward in the league, this can go down as a successful season. Well done to all concerned.

Haha...it's funny 'cos it's true!*

This Leeds/Wigan love in is making me all Phuzzy

I don't think it's a love in. Credit where it's due that's all. We can go back to 'Leeds get away with everything' and 'Wigan are grubs' next season I don't think there is any particular vitriol from Wigan to Leeds (not from my knowledge anyway) it's good to have rivals, that's what makes the sport. St Helens on the other hand...(or 3 hands)...well.... that's another story

According to the Sky preview we were "pretty much at full strength with just Newman missing." That annoyed me as well with 2020 club captain Stevie Ward all but forgotten as well as Cuthbertson and Holroyd.

Haha. As Pie_Eyter says above, it's very much a case of credit where it's due.You did a number on us in the CC semi and showed a resilience and toughness under adversity last night that was more than worthy of praise. It's been a while since we've had a fully firing Leeds but, although you aren't quite there yet, it's a better competition when we do.

Who knows, we might actually see a Yorkshire side in the top 3 in the near future! *


*Can't have you feeling all warm inside so normal hostilities are resumed.

If we look at it objectively. Has he intended to injure Myler? Has he injured Myler? No. Was it reckless or careless? No. Was it intentional? Yes. And I think that intention was to get a reaction from Myler and unsettle us.

Was it against the true spirit of the game? Absolutely.

Rule 15.1(i) Behaves in any way contrary to the true spirit of the game.

Grade A-F Carries NFA right up to 8+ matches. Now youve got to compare grabbing testicles to poking the bum. Tommy Makinson was graded F and ended up with grade D and 5 games after pleading guilty and having previous record (5 times since 2014) and tackling technique taken into account.

Joel Tomkins by comparison has seen 64 cases raised since 2009 by the disciplinary and was recently cautioned for pulling Mamos hair. Taking all that into account I believe his season will and should be over. And potentially a few games into the next. 5-8 matches for me.

Plus running without Crosby for 2 years left us playing the whole second half of a play off with 1 prop who started at 13.

think missed the irony in the hardest man posts , he was a panto villain compared to moz , baz , kylie and jp whereas micky mac been a thug for years

So is yours, that was the point I was making. Clearly we don't (and shouldn't) hold rugby players playing an aggressive physical game to the same standards as people on the street with no reason to come into contact, so it's a daft comparison. I do think he should be on the end of a sizeable ban but not to the extent of what he would face if he did it in the street.

Even more ironic coming from someone who supports a team that had/have the likes of Tomkins, Bateman, McIllouram, SOL and Ben Flower in their team not to mention Zak.
Didn`t want the Wigan Leeds love in to get too friendly on here
On a serious note I`ve been impressed with the youngsters coming through the Wigan team in particular their pack and Smith in the halves.
