You are right, I stand corrected.

Might be the football, as both games are to played at home, going to be some work to do for ground staff.

Good point well made Jake. These people do need some educating.

Strange that Danny Houghton is held in such high regard for the number of tackles he makes??

Different rules when it suits.

So shouldn't your number 9 be heavily involved in defence? Albert jelly made so many tackles as we run at him a lot, kr should run at key attacking players, maybe they won't come into the game at the end & take the spoils.

Its probably due to him being targeted by the opposition forwards, whereas Frank is avoided due to his size.

I'm going, well actually I am already in the Wigan area, having met up with old rugby 'pie-eating' pals, something we do every year. There's a number of Rovers supporters around the area with it being a bank holiday and a fair few at the Travel Lodge me and our lass are staying at in Widnes. Long live the die-hards!

Hope you all have a great time. I would love to be there but its too late as I have work in the morning.I have never been able to get to Wigan's new place but as I am suposed to be retired I will make the effort next time. I have a feeling we won't be a pushover tonight, not expecting a win just hope the young lads have a good experiance, give em an extra cheer from me.

The maligned Allgood 45 tackles in the derby alone and 6th in superleague and all with a busted thumb.

Albert Kelly managed 34 in the derby. He's a half back by the way.

You lost, though.
