Totally agree

Still think Ackers for Micky Mac - Ackers would have torn Samoa apart in the first game, plus, although their forwards start strong, they don't have the stamina. Ackers would revel in that

[imgur][/imgur]Anything below 50k at the Emirates would be a disappointment as they got 67k to Wembley in 2013 following a good marketing effort from an agency they used (and I don't recall the tickets being stupidly cheap back then either)

Cheapest tickets were £20 rather than £30. However there were lots and lots of 50% off offers running. Just checked and we got £30s for £15.

Maybe so but I am sure England just managed a win without Ackers.

Poland is nowhere near Wigan mate. He's got no chance.

stop It Saddy is it ok to pick Makinson and Welsby and Hill and Williams as they are Wiganers obviously 2 play for St Helens so them 2 are ok.

Do we drop everyone who has a connection to Wigan past players etc - Micky and Tomkins and Farnworth (sure he played for Pats) and Ackers ?

Do we now drop current players- Bateman and Cooper

Now do we sack Wane as he is a Wiganer and obviously in your one eyed view does not pick enough St Helens players and picks too many Wigan connected players.

This may come as a shock to you all of these players and coach are doing ok at the min.
When you watch England do you actually want them to win or if they lose at least you can say that Wigan player is crap the coach being a Wiganer is crap etc.

Take them Saints tainted glasses of and enjoy the ride as It is fantastastic and we seem to be doing ok even with those Wigan connected players.

Cant disagree with that,I just want the strongest squad if Wane thinks he is a better pick then he should pick him.
Like I have said we seem to be doing ok so maybe he is picking his strongest team,really nobody can disagree with that with the scorelines achieved so far.

Shame so few fans went to the mkm to watch the game. The rfl probably need to reconsider hosting internationals at Hull and Huddersfield going forward

Don’t forget that on top of it being bonfire night, there was a planned rail strike which resulted in me having to pay around 4 times more to get there and back and I’m sure would have influenced quite a few not to buy tickets.
