How hard have we tried?
Money is the number one consideration but more playing time is pretty damn close.
What is the point of playing Smith and Williams tonight? Can anyone make even an inkling of a case to justify it? I await the deafening silence.
IL caanot force the lad to sign but his coaching staff are making it almost impossible for Hampshire to sign.
Rouges let's see how good Tomkins is when he has no three quarters to play with. Also if Tomkins had signed for Wire for more money well that's life and you bat on. If we continue to lose backs at the current rate and put up with 2 back rowers playing centre and use Wingers as battering rams then that's another matter. When was the last time our right winger actually received a pass with any resemblance of an opportunity?

Absolutely correct.
I have my views which obviously differ with majority but that doesn't mean I'm wrong or that other people's views are a nonsense. It's just opinions.

I would say that at this stage of the season, keeping a consistent team is vital. Too late to chop and change so as to suit red in the face fans..

Well Hampshire is starting at fullback tonight.

Tautai at loose and Connor Farrell on bench, according to Bilko.

Have to say I'm looking forward to seeing TT in the back row. I think he could be very dangerous out wide.

I can see a 50 point win for you guys tonight as long as you don't take your foot off the pedal

I don't think TT is really 'Wigan standard'. I was watching that Agnatius Paasi for the Titans against the Cowboys last night. Big strong Tongan, got footwork and a bit of go-forward in him, but fairly unheralded in the NRL. That's the sort of guy I'd like to see us going for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf6XBN_XygA

Another cracking performance from Bateman. By a mile the best young player in SL this season (if you win it at 21?).

Credit to Hull, that was an extremely admirable display and some exciting youngsters to ponder over.

I must add however, that Stevo and co failed to notice that we rested Manfredi, SOL, Bowen, Patrick, Sutton with Farrell and Sarge out injured and played 3 rookies with Burgess making his first appearance since injury. Although i agree we should (on paper at least) should have won more convincingly the Sky Sports 'experts' seemed to keep avoiding mentioning that. That was 8 changes we had ourselves :/

like i say, credit to Hull though, That was a very energetic performance.

Thank God we've got Bateman.

Lets be realistic. That was an horrendous display.

Smith is woeful without a dominant 6.

Burgess is already in Australia.


Joel is garbage.
....

i'll go along with that and add that Powell will never be a hooker as long as he has a hole in his bum
