| Yeah I probably should’ve added that I’ve not seen it back on TV yet or heard what the ref said.
I still think he was way out of his depth though, he’s a long way behind his brother in controlling a game.

| Just typed a message out but the site crashed on me
In summary:
Saints looked good better attacker plays but still not 100%
Stephen’s looked decent good breaks made by the lad
Makinson and Hurrell limping isn’t a good sign
Catalan will likely slip down the league if they can’t fix their fitness
Thought the yellow was fair enough think the ref explained it well when he called the two captains over. The other shot by simms should have been carded

| Having just watched it back I think the yellow was correct to be fair.

| Stu - this site won’t let me quote you again! I thought the lad played well last night, I maybe wrong and if I am I will hold my hand up, as always. For what it is worth, I think Catalans have gone backwards fast, they have no attacking threat. They had enough possession and territory to put Saints to the sword. Twelve months ago, with Tomkins et al in the team, it would have been a different result. I think the top four is now settled, only the pecking order to be sorted out.

| I’ve always been Stu M on here but for some reason you quoted The Reaper on here thinking it was me….
You’ve done similar before with another poster I think but I’ve never changed my name on here.

Fair enough Stu, somebody else mentioned that and given that you didn’t correct them at the time (I don’t think you did anyway), I took it to be true.

Well hopefully we can avoid Saints because over on Redvee they still beat us 9 times out of 10

I seen that. Was it Magic Super Beetle? He or she is probably using their 5 year signings they have no chance of getting in their thinking.

Not a sniff saints beat Wigan 9 out of 10.
7 maybe 8 but not 9. This current Wigan team is easily the most hyped team In SL history

You mean the current holders of all the trophies except the CC which we play for in a few days and, if we win, become only the 3rd team in Superleague history to hold all the available trophies at the same time is the most hyped in history
I used to feel sorry for you but I can't even drum that up anymore when you don't even help yourself. You post the most infantile stuff I've ever seen on these forums and that's saying something.

| Right I've given Wigan enough credit today...
Robertson scored 7 tries for our Academy on Friday night. That's some achievement at any level.
We are going to need him and some others to step up in the next couple of seasons!

| Come on Stu, you can manage another couple of posts of credit, I'm sure!
I haven't seen Robertson play but, as you say, 7 tries at any level is promising. What's your thoughts on him?

I've mentioned before that him and Farrimond stood out big time when I watched the Wigan v Saints U16s game at St Judes back in 2022.
I don't know if he will be a 1 or a 6. He's played both but currently excelling at 6. He's a tall, lanky lad so needs some more size on him but he reminds me very much of Welsby when he first came through, although Robertson has the more athletic running style. His gait reminds me of Ponga, he has a great step and footwork.
However its very different stepping up to SL level and I think he is still at least 12-18 months away.

I noticed a few on RedVee suggesting he wasn't physically ready. I saw Jack Farrimond close up for the first time yesterday and he looked tiny but he's equipped himself very well in the first team when he's played. I have been particularly impressed with his willingness, even effectiveness, in defense. I know different players progress at different rates but surely Robertson, being older and a bigger lad generally, can't be that far behind Jack?
