Its the same with Wigan TV where supporters are not getting the same value for money as in as in previous seasons.

Some Academy and Women's games not shown, especially if if the team loses, some with no commentry and some played in silence.

The Women's team have just lost all four of their play off games but no games have been shown with hardly any news about the games.

Even the club website leaves a lot to be desired for a club like Wigan, especially the section on player profiles.

Everything at the club appears to have gone downhill.

Some decent rugby and a few really good tries.
Bradford scored a couple of good tries too late on but we were just a bit too strong and fast for them.

I think the final score was 40-18 but I could be wrong.

Nicholson was the standout player no doubt. I think you were sat just behind me. :wink: :D

Good, it's absolutely awful.

I watched the Wigan ladies game a couple of weeks ago on Sky (the same night we played Catalan) and it was a shocking standard. Absolutely shocking that I pay money to sky and they don't televise all SL games, or all NRL games but play this tripe.

I'm very much a one step at a time kinda guy. The club can't even broadcast academy games, let's not add another headache with Women's rugby.

Do you know with a couple of the anecdotes that you told me I should have guessed that it was you!!
Good to finally meet you at last. Pity that the bar wasn't open as we could have had a couple of pints to pontificate about the game.

I really should make more of an effort to attend these games. A good standard and quite a decent crowd too yesterday I thought.

I really like Nicholson. Looked for work and to offload whenever possible. As you said he's the next lad to come off the production line to go into the first team. He will put plenty of pressure on Smithies, Shorrocks, McDonnell and KPP when he does finally make his debut. As you said we have some real potential talent in the backrow.

Yes he played centre. He's a big lad who I'm sure will get even bigger.
For me a pretty quiet game but he took his try well.
He's got the habit of "dummying" a step when he first gets the ball which slows him down a bit but I'm that is something that Goulding will sort out.
I'd like to think that he has bags of potential.

To provide updates on these fixtures is just so simple to do. I bet they’d have plenty of volunteers if they asked for somebody to update their social media channels for them with the date/time of these kick offs. Sadly they’d probably forget to update the volunteer.


A very simple but great idea.
The club and the fans should be the same community. We shouldn't be separate we should be as one.
Once SW takes over this should hopefully leave KR time to improve this area along with the new Marketing Director.

The club has really got to open up and expunge this almost siege like mentality they have at times

I had to leave early as it was my granddaughters birthday and with the stoppage in play for the Hill acl injury and subsequent delay.
We went in the Red Robin pre game, something we always do for the academy games, feel free to join us next year.
