Isn't it funny how things become fashionable, this year its the hip drop, can't remember a penalty this year for a grapple tackle and I've seen a few tonight.

Are Saints that good or have Wigan just become awful like us.

Wigan are just bare in the pack.
That’s what our best chance to be Wigan will be based.

Take off the blinkers gents. Yes, he's a pain but he's also a brilliant player. Great pair of hands, elusive runner, good short kicking game, reads the gamr and solid as a rock in dedence and under the bomb.

If our fullback looks as fraction as good today, that will be an improvement on the last eight weeks.

Agree with this, I said after that England game and the way he played alongside Williams I would have him here, yes I will go out and flog myself for saying that but most fans always rip good players of other teams.

I didn't say he wasn't good, I said he was an obnoxious little scrote, and I stand by that.

One thing that a really hate about rugby today is the screaming / shouting after a good bit of play or a mistake from the opposition. Whatever happened to the modest approach. You'd score a try then walk back to the half-way line with that "yes that's what I do look". Just occasionally you might do I little jump/skip if there was a match winning score. If someone was to scream in your face if you knocked on ... you would hit 'em & the ref. backed you up ... but that didn't really happen because no-one screamed in your face.

Reading this and you are right, could you imagine Welsby et al doing that to the likes of Nicholas, Mills Boyd etc, the next tackle he would of forgotten how to walk.

Running across the field to chest bump your colleague (Makinson to Welsby) after he makes a standard cover tackle. Hate it. All teams do it of course but that lot just take it to a whole new level.

Copying football.
Hate it - it's embarassing.

Pat on the back is sufficient.
