Just about to sit down and watch Deadpool at 9pm on Film4. Wouldn't it be great to have someone like Deadpool in the side?

A simple injection of "secret syrup" within the next decade into a human being and voila..... a player with superhuman strength, injury free at all times?

Pity Stan Lee passed away last year, maybe we could have asked him for technical guidance.

Pfft Stan Lee? We should have had someone with the vision of John Hammond. Creating dinosaurs from DNA trapped inside fossils and mixing them with reptiles. Imagine what we could do with that at Wigan

Can you imagine kids playing SL Top Trumps at Christmas 2035?

Superhuman Strength 100%
Tackles in a game - 300
Tries scored in a game - 52
Speed - 93mph
Quickest try scored - 0.005 seconds.


Can't wait!

And those are just Tony Clubb’s stats

Game, set and match.

His reply does not warrant a reply because it offers no reason why we cant merge some old skool set plays with the modern game. All he offers is negativity and the idea that it cant be done because he says so. He is wrong as Saints proved last year. A bit of old skool play got them a try from the scrum in the GF. Good job Jukes was not the referee otherwise he would of chalked it off for not following his modern day coaching manual.

That try should have been disallowed, not because it was off the cuff but because it broke the laws of the game. Very surprised if a man with as much knowledge as you didn’t already know that though.

I can’t remember that try, whether it’s down to Christmas Day alcohol consumption or not is up in the air. So for my benefit can you jog my memory?

His reply to your reply saying my post doesn't warrant a reply doesn't deserve a reply.
Reason
Any reply to his reply would only be continuing the replies and perpetuating the same debate.
I'll leave everyone to reply with their own replies to decide of it is game set and match or if your replies decide that we need more replies then we could reply some more and it would be kind of a replay which is a reply with the "a" missing.

Anyway

Xmas day Fish fingers was lovely (why change just because its xmas day, its worked for the last 51 weeks)
Santa brought me a new A to Z so I can continue to drive my Model T Ford around the back streets of Wigan

Best set move EVER.

Attacking scrum 25 yards from opposition try line, 20 yards in from right hand touchline

Scrum half passes ball to stand off (David Bolton) and he passes it on to right centre (Eric Ashton) then goes around Ashton to take the return pass.
Opposition chase Bolton, BUT Ashton doesn't give him the ball.
Billy Boston comes flying in from the wing from around 35 yards out, Boston arrives at the perfect time just inside Ashton, receives a supremely timed short ball and scores close to the posts.

That move was used a few times once for Great Britain and Murphy was the scrum (he's no idea what was happening) Eventually opposition teams got wise, but it was brilliant to watch.

Sadly things like that couldn't be used today, there is far too much video analysis.

I remember a great move by Wire from scrum against Wigan in Lancs Cup final at Knowsley Road. Andy Gregory to fullback I think it was Johnson. Also remember the game for the much anticipated Gary Helmsley Smith playing made one run sideways and that was all I remember of his career
