Houghton back on the bench for this one Dwyer starting
Think Savelio is a non starter but we need a replacement for Lane.
Like to see Carlos given a run in the second row then we can move Scott into the centre

Smith has hinted at giving Houghton a break so we could see Dwyer starting and Lovodua on the bench.

But would fash and cator get in saints wire or wigan?

Definitely not at saints or wire

They're the level we need to get to consistently

St Helens and Wigan aren't 100% full of world beaters.
LMS is a plodder but is in Saints first 17.
Fash comfortably outplayed Byrne last night and he is there number 8, and he had better stats than Byrne had last week against Wakefield aswell.
They have more better players than most teams, hence why they do so well, but they're not all world class internationals. You still need players who are solid and get through the hard graft.
I'd probably rather have Fash in my team that Dudson, and he's in Wire's first 17.

Big win in terms of recruitment and retention, will give players much more confidence in signing.

Still not sure on Satae, total rock and diamond performance from him tonight.

Satae is a very lazy defender. Very rarely bends his back when attempting to tackle.
His go forward is great though, which makes up for it as long as he has grafters around him to mop up.
If his defence was up to scratch, he’d be back in the NRL imo.

Was nice to watch the game back, you get to see things that you don't notice live, but jesus christ if John Wilkin is the best sky can do then might aswell pack up. He wasn't even trying to hide his bias, I don't know why with all of the money sky have they cant get a decent commentary and summeriser team instead of just a bunch of ex players.

Any run metres stats yet?

Re: Wigan away : Sat May 06, 2023 4:16 pm  

[quote="mean_machine"]I think Josh played in the age group 1 or 2 below, although I am pretty sure Danny played a year above him self anyhow due to development.

He did end up at East Hull, but started at boys club when it was club number 1 in Hull.

RIP brownie, man made it. I only ever park at bonus now in town as a mark of respect to the area and past[/quote

Yeah I heard he had passed away . Still hear him screaming “ROWSE” in my sleep !!
