A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach. Sat 27th April 2002 St Helens 12 Wigan 21 Edinburgh - Sat 4th May 2002 Celtic 2 Rangers 3 Glasgow (Carlsberg dont do weeks, but if they did.....) //www.internationalrugbyleague.net/:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_36409.jpg



For me, the two opportunities in the second half 20 mtrs out with six tackles in hand TWICE and we fail to get to the third tackle on both occasions..

Just clueless in attack!

Having watched the salford-septic game i was unpleasantly surprised at how more daring/creative they both were in attack... That isnt going to change too much with our current coach icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

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

icon_biggrin.gif oh god no...

Seriously, i thought the welsh team spreaded the ball well, it has me puzzled as to why we dont throw wide as opposed to just going head first into the pack at almost every run...

Basic stuff surely? icon_confused.gif

Quote: Father Ted "We lost due to missing opportunities.
Hull made one good move all game and scored with R Horne.
Their main idea was hoof it and hope. Hope was realised when Roberts let the ball bounce. Although the pass from Tickle to Radford for his try was well forward that should teach players not to let bombs bounce.
Hulls 2nd try was from Smith's kick into touch on the full, they scored from the set.
Goulding was tackled hard by Yeaman when he might have scored similar with Tomkins. When Byrne knocked on we didn't score we dropped the ball from the scrum.
As more players got injured the more mistakes we made. Bailey shouldn't have gone out again but had to. Richards was injured as was Roberts, Bailey busted, Phelps hamstring & Riddell ankle gone!
We didn't complete one of last 10 sets (Noble).
God help us when we come up against a really big pack!
BTW where did they get Radford from MOM? G Horne by a mile for me!'"


yet your scores came from kicks and a suspision of a forward pass in the build upto your first try, you seemed to rely on kicks to richards on all your last plays, isn't that hoofing and hope? in the end fcs' fitness proved the match winner, your overseas signings from noble this season are very poor, riddell, a waste of space!

Your guess is as good as mine. Im with you on that one. Noble should have played Leuluai at starting hooker with McIlorum on the bench and Tomkins/Smith in the halves, if it didnt work out for Tomkins, O'Loughlin is always there to take over.

I just dont think you should call Riddell a 'waste of space' when he has played 2 games for us, both of which he hasnt done that bad in, people are just expecting him to be a one trick Micky Higham and run from dummy half every time, but he has more to his game than that, and once the season progresses we will see how he improves the team, our props are already playing better because they are getting better distribution of the ball from a hooker that can actually pass.

You mean embrace summer rugby at Wigan. Copy the other 13 teams. At least we can say we're original.

5 straight drives from a pack with little metre makers in it.
Then a boot downfield if we haven't already lost the ball in some stupid way beforehand.

Followed up with a lot of lying on in defence, missed tackles and gaps down the wing where you have Phelps, Roberts and Mathers... wonder why Wakefield scored twice down that side....?

Yeah when the pitches dry out, he'll have a lot of tracking back to do.

It's all a ploy to get the bookies to lengthen the odds on us winning the GF, once they hit 100/1 watch us go ! icon_wink.gif
