Exactly, he didn't trust the youth enough, if he'd trusted them more, perhaps someone like Mark Flanagan would still be at Wigan instead of playing for Wests Tigers in the NRL
The head says Wigan, the heart says I don't give a stuff!One thing I definitely think you can criticise him for is the condition of the players, just look how noticeably leaner players like Paleassina and Riddell were at the start of the season....the team was just a lot fitter and quicker, there's not really any excuse for that if you ask me
Any predictions for Saturday?
No idea, maybe his body is feeling the strain, who knows?As I said in the thread earlier, is there a reason why Cunningham is calling it a day, as he showed in that Huddersfield game he's still got it
Probably a good value bet thatI'll be sticking a sneaky tenner on him to win the Harry Sunderland award on Saturday though, if Saints win, I can see him getting the MOM no matter how he performs
Sound logic indeed.I'll be sticking a sneaky tenner on him to win the Harry Sunderland award on Saturday though, if Saints win, I can see him getting the MOM no matter how he performs
His teams' Player of the Year isn't itJust hearing that Gareth Ellis has won player of the year in the NRL once again. That's a great achievement for the fella.
Yup, still a great achievement though with the likes of Benji Marshall, Farah, Tuqiri, Payten, and co in the Wests ranks.His teams' Player of the Year isn't it
Hopefully a few more players will go over there, as it will make them better players
Yeah, you're right, I must have misheard. Still an accomplishment though, he'd have had to play his team-mates off the park for the Aussies to vote for a Pom in two successive seasons.His teams' Player of the Year isn't it
Hopefully a few more players will go over there, as it will make them better players
I've heard he's on the next plane to Aus as soon as his ban is completed, could be wrong though.Yeh, no doubt
They've got a few England eligible players haven't they at Wests, Flanagan and Heighington (Aus born mind)
I've heard those Hock rumours, I guess he'll be at Wigan next season and then maybe NRL the season after...does he still get paid by Wigan, as if so, he probably owes them a few seasons
Sorry but that's a load of cock n bull. It's like saying the same about Liverpool with the PL trophy :.Don't really watch RL anymore, but it's great to see Wigan reclaiming their trophy after all the years. Brings a tear to my eye
Erm, no, Saints won the first SL and have mopped up more than Wigan could ever dream of since. That's not my opinion, that's the cold, hard realityDid Wigan not win the Super League first? Rightful owners tbh bruh.
Not mad, just politically correct
I just wiki'd it is all, as I have said, I don't even pay attention to RL anymore and it said 1998 was the first so um yeah, I don't really care, but I like how mad you are getting at a barely casual fan.
I don't think you can say that after the season he's had, some of the passes he's made for tries this season have been very impressive.Iv been saying it for months and last night confirmed it, Sean O'Loughlan is the most overrated player in the Super League, one dimensional and as charasmatic as my left nut.
Where the feck is Martin Gleeson? He's the reason Goulding has bagged so many tries. fecking bizarre omission, as a Wire fan, he's not exactly someone on my Christmas card list but the guy has had a superb season with the SL winners.Squad announced for Four Nations;
Backs: R Atkins (Warrington), T Briscoe (Hull), K Brown (Huddersfield), T Clubb (Harlequins), L Cudjoe (Huddersfield), D Goulding (Wigan), R Hall (Leeds), L Robinson (Huddersfield), S Tomkins (Wigan), M Shenton (Castleford), G Widdop (Melbourne).
Forwards: S Burgess (South Sydney), E Crabtree (Huddersfield), G Ellis (Wests Tigers), S Fielden (Wigan), J Graham (St Helens), D Griffin (Huddersfield), B Harrison (Warrington), S Lunt (Huddersfield), A Morley (Warrington, capt), S O'Loughlin (Wigan), J Roby (St Helens), J Tomkins (Wigan), B Westwood (Warrington).
Any major problems or omissions for you
And what team do you go with
Any faint hopes England harboured of of beating the likes of Aus and NZ have been extinguised right there.Adrian Morley has ruptured his bicep and will be flying home for surgery
Hope he'll be recovered in time for beginning of next season
