[b:2q2mjndn]"What was it like out there Sam?"[/b:2q2mjndn] "F*cking hard mate" Queensland great Sam Backo live on telly to nine's Tim Sheridan after being named man of the match in a state of origin game in 1988.:



Quote: phibes "The second half was a superb example of attacking play, maintaining possession and scrambling goal-line defence.

Sam Powell was particularly impressive - busy all night, tackled his socks off and had played a full game on Friday. Also thought Sarginson caused problems and well done Jason Taylor for putting in a huge carry after being bounced on his head minutes before.

Defence still needs a lot of work though, particularly at the edges of the ruck where we were found out by the Giants.'"


Jason Taylor is he another new signing?

Bateman is class. I said it when we signed him. Waney is going to ease him into the season to avoid burning him out like nearly happened at the Bulls. That's the only reason he isn't starting at the moment.

I'm delighted that Manfredi showed what he can do, and also a word for Logan, who doesn't seem to get much recognition. I thought he was excellent.

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



Quote: Cruncher "How can you give an opinion on the game if you didn't see it?

In respect of that, what makes you think your views should carry any weight at all?

Why post them unless what you're really here for is to subtly try and cause trouble?'"


He's now claiming that he did watch it.
However I know because I saw it that he originally posted that he hadn't. His original post was at 10:37 and then edited some 11 minutes later.

I challenged him on red Vee about a couple of things that happened during the game but he wouldn't or should I say couldn't answer. No doubt he'll try and do some research, but I guess one of the mods could confirm the editing.

Quote: Newton-Le-willows-Warrior "And for me this is why we will be at the top for the next few years. Our strength in depth. For them lads to travel to the other side of the world and to put in a 2nd half performance like that just shows why Waney took 27 players with him.

I think for next week Bateman deserves a shot over Clubb, Hughes should also play in the back row and Powell definitely gets the 4th interchange.

A major + for the first half as well I thought was Sarginsons performance, he looks like a quality acquisition.

I have a smile on my face this morning!

My line up for next week

1. Bowen 2. Charnley 3. Goulding 4. Sarginson 5. Burgess 6. Green 7. Smith 8. Taylor 9. McIlorum 10. Dudson 11. Hughes 12. Farrell 13. O'Loughlin SUBS 14. Flower 15. Pettybourne 16. Bateman 17. Powell'"



Agree with a lot of this, already I prefer Bateman to Clubb, and Powell played well above his years v NZW, looked very good.

Youngsters really stepped up v NZW, very proud of the young lads, to score so many points and nil the NZW was really good to see. For me the second half was a fair reflection, young lads v young lads with a few season pros mixed in, and we looked great.

Which is a contrast to the first half, played nearly a full team and were getting beat, for whatever reason.

Few well some controversial comments to come...

I actually think Hampshire looks better than Bowen. Bowen has proven his a great player many times over, lots of experience and knows the game inside out, BUT does he know our game as well as Hampshire, when linking up outwide Hampshire plays like Sam, running the arch dragging tacklers out of position, often throwing the dummy and looking for the gap, this as we know works well.
In contrast Bowen almost plays like a second 7 outwide ofloading and passing early trying to bring runners into the game outwide, this doesn't seem to suit Goulding who's strength isn't really as a strike runner but as a centre who draws his man and releases Charnley to affect.
I'm not saying we should drop Bowen, but it does require some thought.

Bateman offers more strike than Clubb. For a young lad its easy to see the hype he came with, looks a handful everytime, clever player, hit the line hard and has a good offload. Bateman needs to be easied into the game after Bradford nearly wrecked his body, but he looks the real deal already.

Sam Powell outplayed Matty Smith. Looked great out there. Lead the team well, very pleased he's part of our set up.

McM is world class. This lads progressed and development over the past few years has been outstanding. I believe if he wants an NRL club he's got one, he has to be in the top 5 9s in the world.

Glad you've now taken it on-board after being warned for doing exactly the same thing the other day.

As an update for EVERYONE - derailing threads or being on a wind-up for the sake of being on a wind-up are both against the AUP and it is something that Admin have recently reminded the Mods to follow through on with bans. This is especially so for anyone with previous and even more so for those stupid enough to publicise they are a WUM - even if it they admitted it on another website.

For clarity so that I can evaluate whether you're opinions are worth responding to or not - did you watch the game this morning or didn't you as you seem to have claimed both?

I thought the exact same, Bowen is treating Goulding as a strike runner rather than the smart centre he is, which will stifle him and Charnley if it carries on. Goulding was constantly being chopped down immediately against Huddersfield. Bowen is a star though he'll adjust in time. It does surprise me though, I've always considered Tate to be a class all-rounder but Bowen was clearly used to treating him as a runner judging by his instincts.

Was it on tv?

Weakened Warriors team or not, a massive result for those Wigan youngsters. Whatever happens in the future they can always say they were involved in it.

I hope Sydney win next week of course, but if Wigan do the treble it will be fully deserved and something the town should be very proud of considering the amount of players from the town.
