They would win the treble with Winston Wolf as coach.

Saints will take some stopping in both competitions but how does Walmsley constantly get away with getting up from a tackle, walking over the first marker then pushing past the second one before playing the ball?

Wigan defended very well, and have some very good attacking options. It might have been a blessing that we were knocked out of the cup by Wakefield, as we'd have took a tonking this afternoon.

We shouldn't be in the position to need luck but the cup semi and final might help us.
If I have it right we play Wigan the week before the cup semi final and we play saints a week before the final.
If we can turn the oil tanker round quickly then we can hope that they rest some players and players dont want to pick up a ban / injury.
I know it is clutching at straws but at the moment it would have to be a miraculus transformation to expect a result against those 2 teams.

I would like to say i thought both games were very entertaining & good advertising for rugby league. Very pleased with the lack of niggle too.

Yes I commented to Mrs Smiffy27 on how clean the games were. It is much better when the clever players who get rid of the ball at the line don't take a clout (just) after passing it.

I have this picture of Tony Smith saying in a Shooting Staresque manner, "players, I want to see those fingers"

Hull KR totally outplayed Hull's bigger pack in that second half.

I was expecting Hurrell to be awarded the try
