If Eddie P ends up a prop as now seem more likely Flower in the back row makes sense if H is out. I really rate Hughes (as a forward) and Burke as they look naturals to me. The kind of players even though young you can just tell they have the ability. I felt the same way about H, Hock, Lockers and Joel T (which is why I was gutted he left!). |

Oh very droll. 2 points to make here . 1 it's well regarded in the English rugby league world that Bradford Bulls training facilities at Tong is one of the best in super league. Also there medical staff has people in roles that no other super league team has.
2 point the Wigan team Doctor is from Bradford and was brought over from when Brian Noble came in to save you from finishing bottom of the league. |

I'm sure I heard/read somewhere that they were changing - might have been from one of the pundits on "back chat" a while back? |

You probably also believe the moon is made of green cheese. And that wouldn't bother us either. |

I honestly am surprised you haven't tried to get Josh Mantellato, kinda like a double of Pat Richards just younger.

It's the future that's bugging you, not the past.
There is more that is right in our club at present than there has been in decades. That is despite the loss of players to the NRL and RU, despite the rival attraction provided for so many years by a Premiership Football Club.
You are soiling your no doubt frilly pants about what's coming, and with good reason. |

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Religion by its very nature is extreme, but thats what happens when people think they have divine mandation. The EdL and their ilk on the other hand are just mindless thugs, hopefully his twitter activity will be reigned in if it is as bad as people say.
But he wont be the first person in the sport to hold such views. |

Cause the 'Burnden Park Massacre' was after 1996 wasn't it?  |
