I'm not that impressed by Wilkin this year so far. He's a senior player but he isn't taking the lead. His defensive input has dropped and he has been caught napping more than once. Last year he was outstanding.

Mark Flanagan, I can even spell his name, is an average rugby player that Wigan let go without a fight.

I watched him in the Wigan academy side and he was distinctly average. Good tackler, but nothing going forward.

If his dad hadn't have been a mate of Brian Nobles then Mark Flanagan would have been been playing for Batley or the ilk by now.

now thats rubbish, you were singing his praises 3 years ago, and you know it

Grandad, your memory might be on the slide with age but mine's still pretty good. When Flanagan left for Oz "average" was not the adjective you used to describe him.

e

He's had a few quiet games. But every player goes through similar. Given his sterling service (and the fact that he's now in his prime) it's silly to write him off on such meagre evidence. And let's not forget this is a testimonial year. Many a decent player's form has slipped for a month or two during such.

Your opinion is worth less than a Chairman Mao speech at a human rights conference. f**k off back to cherry and white and go bore them silly with your 'observations'

I don't think so.
He never had a settled position in that Wigan academy side.

You did. And if you claim otherwise you are a bare-faced liar.

Fear not.................Get your form back just after the Challenge Cup and you could be crowned Champions. No need for early season consistency. That is just a waste of time and resources.........Just ask Leeds.

The trouble is, EMcM has spent @ loads on a fantastic stadium, the whole town have got behind them and made good on their promise by turning up in drives for season tickets only to find they eye has been well and truly taken off the ball when it comes to the product on the field. Anyone with premier sports last season would tell you Laffranchi was another club man and wouldn't fill Jammers shoes, but let's face it, who could? It just seems none of the front towers can play longer than 15min spells, but I did see LMS ask KC why he'd been subbed, and KC said he didn't know.

KC should have replied "because you've done nothing again like you've done all year and your not fit to lace the likes of jammers boots"

LMS isn't good enough.

we'd have been better off signing Hill from Leigh but hey ho - tbh we still have a good enough squad if we were better coached ...

I thought that Puletua and Soliola were by far your best players tonight, both looked dangerous. You also made some good kicks, turned our fullback on quite a few occasions. I'd agree with many of your comments about Wellens, too, I thought that he was poor tonight.

Saints' discipline was poor in the second half. Whilst the ref missed quite a few infringements by both sides (but, let's face it, we don't want a Child performance) it's inexcusable for a side to give away several penalties in their own half when the scores are even. I would imagine Simmons, and your fans, were furious about this.

Obviously Roby was a big loss for you tonight and there's still a big hole where Graham was (he's nigh on irreplaceable).

I thought that Saints were the better side in the first half but that Hull were superior in the second.

The crowd probably made a psychological difference to the players, seemed that the home support were very quiet (although there was some w[size.[/sizeanker in the Hull end that insisted on chucking his beer over everyone at every try/penalty/conversion)


Not to do with the game but do any of you guys get frustrated with the farces that were happening at the turnstiles?
