50 / 50 really... It was meant as a laugh, but the whole sentiment of the message rings true I suppose for this yr anyway.

didn't think you was serious

Wigan Warriors 6-16 Bradford Bulls. Half Time

Wigan Warriors 20-16 Bradford Bulls

Grand Final Result:

Wigan Warriors 20-16 Bradford Bulls.

MOM: Shaun Ainscough.

Attendance: 5,823

Good do really. Disappointing not to make the final but... hey ho!
The competition has grown year on year. For me they should put it on all day on BH Monday after Wembley, promote it and give tickets for a nominal fee with Wembley tickets. It would be a great day out if it wasn't on a workday afternoon/evening. Maybe at the funnypharm.

At least the wildcats won a trophy...the dolls won the cheerleaders' touch rugby tournament. I'd rather watch them play touch rugby than dance at half time.

Young Potts did pretty well in the sprint, was second but faded to 4th at the end.

would have gone, didnt know it was today. never seen or heard any advertisements anywhere, shame as i live around the corner.

do we get any money for the semi final loss then? or is it just the winner that gets any money? like a pro rata based system?

There is some consolation, perhaps grasping at straws! The 2 lads who Jonh stated that we had signed for next season (Howarth and Veivers?) were apparently in the Wigan 9's squad.

Most of that Wigan squad that won it will be at other clubs next year. Both codes sadly, the salary cap penalising player development really is an outstanding concept (regards players crossing codes).

With Vievers and Howarth neither are especially talented but the key is to give them the environment to improve and I personally do not think Trinity have that and thus neither player will flourish at Trinity.

No - we couldn't possibly produce international players at Wakey?

Did Wigan win something?

Sam Abus and Jen Beffries both played for Wakefield Warriors in last nights 9s.

The tannoy man at Leeds last night did a fine job

Sounds like it was a good night.

Sadly I agree with that. Don't believe good younger players have reached anything like their potential at Wakefield in recent years. Not simply because they are surrounded by mediocrity but the coaching has let them down badly.

Wigan have one of the best youth set ups in the game, and have the kids in a great environment, it's not something in the past we have exploited to it full potential. Take players out of that environment into poorer ones and rarely do they kick on.

Gleeson is a fine example who for me has gone backwards at Trinity. Both Howarth and Vievers have some major aspects of their game that haseant they have not got a look in yet at first team, mainly pace, and while they may have a short term impact while things remain at they are I cannot see them bringing long term quality to the club while things remain as they are.

Hope this does not upset you TRB.
