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?

| Quote Last Son of Wigan="Last Son of Wigan"
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. '"
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.

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.

I've replied and somebody, presumably you, deleted it. Why should I answer your questions if you are picking and choosing when I can and can't comment on something, regardless of the fact that the post that was deleted contained absolutely nothing untoward?

That matter is now closed and off-topic, hence why things off-topic are being deleted.
Back on topic - did you see the game or not?

| Great try from Manfredi and Hampshire looked outstanding yet again. Sam Powell really stepped up today, I don't particularly rate him much but he played very well. Burgess is definitely someone I rate and he'll be very very good but his 4 tries were walk ins and you shouldn't get carried away with that; Manfredi's was better than all 4 put together. Also, what is Hampshire who was running alongside Manfredi for his try? Whoever it was has got some real toe on them.

| It was Hampshire who went with Manfredi. He looks a real speedster and an even better player.
Pace, skills and a good brain= frightening prospect!

Indeed, seems to have a more well rounded game than Tomkins. It's very early to tell, I know, but he should be a cracker if he continues to progress.
