Well whilst we’re moaning about how Cas old manned us ,get ready for Wigan tonight ,cos they wrote the book on stretching the rules to suite .Are we so wet behind the ears as a team that we fall for this every time ,the ball stealing fiasco that went on against us was embarrassing ,we must adapt/change to different teams and situations but we don’t seem to be able .If we don’t win Wigan’s A team tonight there will be a whole plethora of stuff about Wigan did this and Wigan did that and it’s ungentlemanly .But that’s what good teams do they push the boundaries to win and until we learn to do that we will keep being the chumps

I nkow it's going away from our game but, how on earth have the overseas stars at Saints and Warrington escaped selection for the "All Stars".
Wire have 5 players in the England Squad but Saints only have 2 and neither of these clubs, despite having big name over seas players have had any players picked for the "All Stars".
There certainly seems to have been a fair bit of "horse trading" going on. In fact there is only one player (Hastings) from any of the current top 4 clubs.
It's more like "no stars" than "all stars" and they say that its the small clubs holding the sport back !

Tongue in cheek comment Dunkirk about Wigan A team ,but they’ll come to us tonight with a win at all cost attitude whether that’s bending the rules or not ,we need to take a leaf of teams like these books and give it em .

There missing a lot more than that, they have struggled to put a side together for tonight and had to recall 2 or 3 young lads to make up there 17.

Farrell
Bateman
Hastings
Singleton
Hardaker

Clubb
Field
French

And don't be surprised if/when the following don't play
Manfredi (Was told after missing last week he needed 4 weeks rest - How he's in the squad I'll never know)
Gildart (Hearing he wont play)

Add to that some rather bizarre decisions about Clarke going on loan and we can't bring him back yet, refusal for whatever reason to bring Hankinson back, Halsall out on loan and can't bring him back and Ben Kilner walking away form the sport 2 weeks ago

Anyway
Lets get this straight - If Wigan had 95% of their team available tonight I wouldn't be confident
When we were 7wins from 7 we were Average at best and down right poor most of them - the last 3 losses are exactly what we've deserved
And although missing 3-4 in each of those last 3 it's nothing like tonight

If you had a full team out it may have been another 62 - 0 jobby (I had a BIG BIG Bet on Wakey that day)
Missing the 5/6 it may help us keep it competitive but my finger is really twitching on the Wakey Big Bet button again!
