Something should really change in the ruck. I'm tired of hearing the referee blaming the player with ball in hand for not being able to play the damn thing. "You're moving forward!" Yeah, because they're trying to get the sod clinging to them off long enough to play the game! If a player is writhing on the floor so much they move 5 metres forward, it's because the defender on top of them has been there beyond warranted time. It's ridiculous.

Right now we are as far away from winning a GF as we have ever been.

Whatever our conditions coach is doing it’s clearly not working as the second half they all looked legless.

I think you’re wrong, he was only kept out due to Bateman. We just replaced Nicholson with Nsemba. If true, It just shows what commitments in your team.It will be interesting what player King comes back as

I'd sooner see how this season pans out before even thinking about 2024.

As for being a defender of Powell, I actually see myself more as a level headed realist in comparison to the knee-jerking, whinging majority, who seem to spend half their time wetting their pants over any little thing they can find to moan about...

Oh did Lomax turn up with a bottle of something.

Disagree mate it stops with our money men Lomax Moran etc who know knob all about rugby..i.e if I was a multi millionaire I'd want to know what I was buying..the buck starts with them..do you honestly think old moaner at saints would buy the likes of kasiano dishwater dudson matautia etc...would he balls...all very well going the rams head for a up after another loss to create a team bonding exercise..shove it actions speak louder than words...Dita hit the nail on head a while ago get an academy here the best that money can buy and attract all the top young kids..instead of throwing money at players are only here to top up there pension fund...rant over

According to our plant pot of a coach, we can win it.

Well, two can play that game.

I can have a romantic candlelit supper for two with Susanna Reid.
I can play off scratch at golf
Politicians will tell the truth
Petrol will go back to the price it was at the start of the pandemic.

Fair enough. We got beat by a fitter faster more organised team. But at what point are the refs going to grow a pair of balls and actually start using the 6 again to stop teams who persistently slow the play the ball down. A faster game is a better spectacle and might just draw fans in. Wigan games are just a bore fest at the moment. And since when was getting up with an angry face because you’d just been worked over on the floor a penalty? When I saw Kendall was the ref I knew what we were in for and he didn’t disappoint.

Now you being ridiculous , more chance of us winning the GF

JERRRRR, JERRRRR, NOT SQUAREE

You couldn't be further from the truth. I actually enjoy it when we get beat, just so I can watch the cry arsing on here - it provides some good banter and some good laughs, watching grown men get so agitated by something as trivial as sport.

I have this sadistic desire to see Powell stay simply to see how boiled all your p!ss can become...
