Best Wigan No7 ever [b]Terry Newton Wigan legend RIP[/b]:12324.jpg



Only thing i did not enjoy about last nights game was the Mexican wave that was going round for about 10 min while the game was still going on i thought it was disrespectful to the players from both sides.

I thought the French played well for most of the first half but fell away towards the end. And in the second half they tried some expansive play that did not work out.

England on the other hand were all at sea in the first half but tightened up there defense in the second. Which in turn put them on the front foot and they looked a better side i hope Myler is Ok very bad tackle on him but dont think there was any real intent in it and the player that did it looked very concerned for Myler.

Only real conclusion i can come to is think the French will gain a lot of confidence from the competition but will finish bottom. And on the other hand if England dont step up at least 2 gears we will be 3rd bay a long way.

Does anybody know what happened with the French national anthem? I thought that looked very unprofessional.

Ben Westwood should not play next week and neither should Scott Moore.

Kyle Eastmond didn't have enough time to make an impact. A waste of a substitution. Can he play at nine?

Moore has to play because he is better than Roby, unless we play Sinfield at 9.

Eastmond has to start as does Sam.

The selection of Moore ahead of Diskin proves again that Smith is clueless.
If Kane Bentley can run us ragged for 40 mins it doesn't bare thinking about as to what Cameron Smith will do for 80.

England won because the French were woeful in the 2nd half.
We need changes, as has been said we need another 9.
McGuire wasn't seen all night.
Westwood was awful and all our forwards need to improve their handling of the ball.
The best change though would be a new coach and that ain't going to happen.

In reply to the anthem question, did you see last weeks. The singer finished a minute before the band. If we must play anthems and are trying to attract crowds, could we please try and be a bit more professional instead of being a laughing stock. It`s bloody toe curling! You rarely see this at other major sporting events.

How scary was it watching a lad who can't get a game at Catalans rip us to pieces around the middle when you consider what we've got to face in the next 2 weeks in Smith, Luke and Leuluai icon_sad.gif

It all stemmed from the fact that our defence was getting up quick enough.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

Moore was useless last night but Roby is nothing without a QPTB.

I think after just one game it has well and truely shown Smiths selection cock up.

Only the wire fans cannot see it, I wonder why?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled. For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all. Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg



What I'm really looking forward to is Smiths assessment of the game, and his cr@p reasoning for the team he picks v Australia.

It should be interesting.

They started to play it and the singer started to sing and after about 30 seconds the PA man turned up the PA very unprofessional.

You are like a one issue political party on are board trying to run Smith and Myler down in the hope it makes Tomkins and Wigan seem better.
Can you please get a life they are all better at rugby league than you or I.

How did they get on today? I must say I was suprised to see them lining up against France after not even making the play-offs. Anyway I hope they did well, that Richie Myler is such an underrated player.
