Just seen the stats for French this season in superleague. He’s got 20 try’s and 11 assists in 20 games. That is absolutely astonishing! Field has 17 try’s and 12 assists. Our right wing has 15 try’s in the last 4 games, French has more try’s in our last 60 minutes then the whole side got in our last 7 games of 2021 and so on.

It’s a pleasure to go to games now.

Isn't it just? Great entertainment, you can't ask for more than that.

Just seen the result -7 tries for French! That's Martin Offiah territory. Anyone know when know when the last time this number of tries was scored and by who?

It’s a Superleague record so it’s a good while ago.

It is painful to think how many he could have got too, 23 mins left on the clock when he got hooked. First started to walk off looking like he really didn't want to and people started booing so he turned back around then got hooked anyway 10 seconds later to a standing ovation.

With the chances we continued to make down that right edge he would have been 10+ i am sure of it. And with french still on i think we would have pushed attack down the right even more aggressively anyway like we was doing for 5+

Not really a comment on Nicholson or Halsall, but I genuinely can't believe Willie Isa is still at Wigan and even more amazed he's so far up the pecking order as a centre.

Well that's kept you quiet!
A proper Wingers centre

Really impressive stats from Mago and Smithies last night. Mago was 113m from 11 carries and Smithies was 136 from 17 & 34 tackles.

On the other side, more poor stats from Partington. Can't help but think that, if the Cooper rumours are true, last night was his farewell match.

I admire Peet's loyalty to certain lads and undoubtedly they deserved a first crack at cementing a spot. We're now in mid July tho and I've not seen anything from Partington, in his 14 games, to suggest he's a long term option. When does McDonnell get a proper run, or even Nesemba?

They set the precedent on it a couple of weeks ago with the Halifax players ban of 8 games. There isn’t any reason why it won’t be that.

Think that's a bit optimistic, Gayle got 3 and he virtually lifted Lomax back to his feet. Red card definitely, banning certainly, 8 games doubtful.

I’m torn on it. I’m only saying it will be 8 and should be 8 on the basis that they set that precedent but I’m not sure I agree with it. The coaches and captains of each team need to come together in the next off season and discuss what they want the game to look like. This lying on the floor, milking penalties bol*ocks needs to end. If we end that, players won’t get done for dragging players to their feet because as proper rugby league players, they’ll know if you stay down, you are hurt.

I’m genuinely not saying this for a rise or to get a reaction from Saints fans, but it’s something Saints really brought in to the game 2 or 3 seasons ago and other sides have now jumped on it, including ourselves. It needs to go and sharpish but it will only go if teams agree it’s a pathetic way of trying to gain an advantage.

Just seen the highlights he lifts him about 6 inches of the floor still stupid though later in the game Fages did the samr to Lussik and nothing was done

He lifts him slightly and sort of let’s go of him in a huff but I agree it’s a nothing incident really but this is what it’s come to. The players need to stop pretending they’re injured and that should be the main focus. They are embarrassing themselves and going against the spirit of how the game has always been played.

Sort that and this rubbish disappears.
