Bringing Matty Smith off the bench as a replacement hooker maybe... better option than Logan Tomkins at this point in my opinion, even though it's not his natural position.

If you look at the following post you will see the other person took this, and other comments, in the spirit intended. Nice of you to play the stereotypical Whino to perfection. Lighten up.

We won the SL in 2010, the Challenge Cup in 2011 and finished in the top two in each of the last three years. Dominance might be overstepping the mark but I like our outlook for the future better than that if any other SL team to be honest based on the age of our players and what they have already achieved.

Not with this team though, as you won those other honers with some key players that were from overseas. I'm not taking away from the fact you have like us a brilliant academy. It's just it seems especially with the likes of Rogues Gallery everything has to be in contrast with Wigan and praise seems to be rarely given out yet expected in return.

This board doesn't exactly have a reputation for taking things lightly especially if it is at all aimed at your expense so it's hard to see when comments are made in jest.

This is the Wigan board and we are Wigan fans.
Of course we look at other clubs and the League from a Wigan perspective.
This doesn't stop us from appreciating Rugby played by all.
The most impressive performance of the weekend so far IMO was HullFC's win at Wire. That was a remarkable win and they deserved it!
From a Wigan perpective too!

I wasn't meaning on this board in particular, more if a thread pops up on another board where someone says for example '7 of our starting 13 came from our academy' the first post will be most likely from Rogues declaring Wigan had more, trying to turn it into a d1ck measuring contest.

Well don't come here if its troubling for you.

You not thinking of Wire?

Sam played well at home against them creating trys for Charnley, terrorised them away in one of the best individual performances I've seen and after a shaky start in the cup (to say the least) came up with some fantastic running plays. He didn't play in the play offs due to injury or in our league game this year.

Wire the only team IMO that deal with him well 9 times out of ten. That's because they smash our pack so he has no room to play.

Give us a break. I don’t think I’m being paranoid or too biased when I say it must be a given that if there is any team in SL that almost everybody who hasn’t got a loyalty to, loves to hate, it must be us. And as for going onto other boards throwing out our chests, while giving only faint praise, well I think you may be a case of a pan calling a kettle!

So do i. For one simple reason.

If we play Powell and Williams and do an number on Leeds and its a big ask for the 2 youngsters then teams might think again from taking Smith and Green out.

Edward and Gregory please

Sibbs Rhinos has gone quiet...

I don't think Williams will play. He's going to France today along with seven other Wigan players in England U18's squad.
