As for Tuson I totally agree he's a lucky lad. I was surprised after the game on Sunday that nothing was really said about the 2 missed tackles because they were very poor and the lad didn't look himself. His usual energy just didn't seem there and hopefully we'll see an improvement this week. There was quite a debate on here last week that we wouldn't miss Hansen and in 5 second half minutes on Sunday I think the argument was put to bed.

Like i ve said before and been slated for it Hansen unsung hero ,he puts in a graft all the time he might not do ewt fancy but he does a Job and does it well

a wigan win by a good 80 points for me this week!

Superb im glad . The youngsters get a game when they are good enough to get in the team. We had weeks off last season and looked terrible the game after. We are just getting up a head of steam so it would be stupid to break our momentum.

Absolutely! I was banging on about Tuson all the way home on Sunday - but quietly, as I rate the lad and think he had an off-day.

On team selection, I believe in picking your strongest side on all possible occasions and getting a roll on with form.

No mercy! Hang their heads in the sacred grove! How do you think Jim Sulivan's team got THEIR record score?

No..wrong.

The youngsters get a go when injuries force the coaches hand.

Since madge has been here, we have always played our strongest team available regardless who the opposition is.
