We have won as many games as the mighty Leopolds,if only we could be as good as you lot.
1 game in,love the love and advice from fans from other fantastic teams.
It’s weird the old ‘if you didn’t have Field/French line you’d be rubbish. If my auntie had a nut sack and all that. It gets trotted out so often and is a bit rich when coming from fans of teams with literally zero players in the squads that have been brought through their own academy.
If these teams didn’t have any players that they needed to let other clubs produce, they’d be pretty useless n all.

It could have been a one off but Field was responsible for more KR points yesterday than he was for points Wigan scored.

Feel he gets out caught of position a lot in defence, getting left on the floor or retreating. Gave Leeds a try in the playoff semi and noticed it a few times tonight.
The point out the 3 not used quota spots in the team is a great one. Vossy kept saying saints had 7 ex NRL players in the team this morning. Not necessarily their best players but all solid contributors.
With regard to your third paragraph I have been raising that exact point for a couple of seasons now. Rads needs to get the recruitment right, Rush is doing a far better job at Saints.

I’m willing to put a ton on Wigan finishing above Leigh in the league are you willing to take the bet?

He will be on next to no money and is currently on loan.
We have money to spend, or rather should given Batemans departure so finance’s especially the wage of Silva shouldn’t be an issue.
Silva will never make it as a SL player as long as he has a hole in his…..face and Miski though looks the part hasn’t improved, I’d rather player Douglas or Eckersley before Miski so on that basis as well as him being a quota player he needs to go in order to bring in a big strong running back rower, not a Mago/Feka style 1 strong run a game youtube player but a Curtis Sironen, Mark Minichello, Clint Newton style strong running hard working back rower who will punch holes in opposition defence. Faz hits good lines and works hard, KPP brings a good offload game and Ida works hard but we are lacking that punchyness in the back row. Nsemba could provide it but he’s too young to have to rely too much on him.
Hudson Young would be perfect.
Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
