I am told quite reliably from a current member of the backroom staff at Wigan that I still work with there was a lot of discord among the group over the last week, I was told a few of the younger players felt agitated that the seniors didn't contribute enough in the St Helens game and something was said that created a bit of tension/division. Lam stayed out of it and the performance last night showed how that masterstroke played out.

As much as I was told from the 'horses mouth' there is no truth in the return home for Zak, I am becoming more and more sure Bevan was signed as a replacement for him next year. I don't want to delve into it, I just honestly can't see him wearing Cherry & White next year. Cas now have the cap space to bring him back. I would expect an announcement not long after the Grand Final, if not before given neither clubs have any involvement. Hull KR, Huddersfield and Toronto were all very interested in Bevan French offering him guaranteed first team footie at full back, be a bit strange if he signed for us to happily play utility or back up.

Joe Greenwood looks odds-on to be out, the player/club relationship soured over him being officially cleared to play but refusing as he didn't feel right after his last concussion, his balance is off massively and he is getting migraines. I am not the biggest Tony Clubb fan, but what I do know is he agreed heavily reduced terms and it is a good deal for the club for a back-up player. I think this will be reflected in the squad numbers for next year.

Well i mean the NRL wear helmets and you have to wear an helmet on a motorbike so i am guessing that they do offer some protection from head injuries. I know i would rather clash heads with somebody with an helmet on rather than no helmet.

Perhaps a redesign of the helmets to have soft padding on the outside to cushion the impact?

So far above my pay grade it's untrue, they were just two awful impacts.
It was the Pittsburgh QB last night, he was out cold before he hit the floor, imagine a boxer catching someone on the sweet spot and that's what it looked like.
The Raiders player last week was lunacy, check the video above, no surprise he's been kicked out for the season (without pay as well).

When people say knocked out before they hit the floor, you are knocked out the moment your brain jolts. If someone gets hit and isn’t knocked out before they hit the floor then they’re not knocked out, they’re pretending, probably footballers.

What side of the field does harry rushton play? Everytime I’ve seen him he’s been a real handful and could be the answer to our right second row problems
