Indeed. The biggest difficulty Bridge had to face was choosing whether to stand Sarginson up or trample over the top of him.

I don't think Carney and Wells (whom I tend to like) once mentioned Sarginson's total failure in his defensive duties but instead spent ages both in commentary and at half time talking about how Burgess should have come in.

There's been some absolutely god-awful defence on show this season. Thankfully we seem less afflicted by this disease than most. But it's difficult to see how long such can be sustained if the players know the other side are likely to cough up twice-fold for every mistake we drop.

It's precisely this problem which has repeatedly prevented us from chiselling out wins against Australia. Only this season it seems to have been exponentially exacerbated.

I've seen some tripe posted on hear over the years but that's up there with the best/worst. Joe Burgess is one of the most level headed / grounded young people you will ever meet.

I really rate Burgess. I was surprised to see him getting pelters from some fans on Cherry and White, recently.

What ever did happen to Shaun Ainscough?

Plays in the Championship for Whitehaven (and was obviously never anywhere near as good as Joe Burgess).

Does Somersetsaints post even meet "Tripe" qualification. Angry, bitter and jealous sounds more like it.

He is a top talent and a loss to the game over here, not sure he's ready for the NRL yet but I guess we'll all find out soon enough. Some of the goon 'loyal 18' or whatever crap they call themselves have picked on some of his errors because he is leaving, they obviously choose to forget that he's a young lad still learning.

I liked the look of Ainscough, it was refreshing to see a winger with real pace who was happy to go on the outside occasionally but I guess he just didn't develop enough to iron out the flaws in his game, probably wasn't helped by Nobby much.

Sounds like a great description of your own fans and coach after last seasons grand final. Still not over it yet either

Give them something to cry about.

Thought that'd make your holiday even better

It's always good to hear Wigan misfortune no matter if home or holiday.

You actually have a thread dedicated to just talking about us?

Do you not think that is a bit weird? Genuinely weird?

You're the one reading it, pal.
