I think they are right. Wigan finished top, have had a week off and are incredibly tough to break down. Can't remember who said it but in a recent game but they really do seem to love defending and are sublime at it. O'Loughlin has had a stellar career and this is additional motivation for them. I don't think we should expect anything other than the media all pursuing this narrative tbh.

Praise for the "Catonator" as well.
Joe is lucky to have Gaz around to advise and point him in the right direction.

Good lad is Joe. Club Hull. P

It’s a shame we can’t get Gaz on the park for a couple of cameos.

Hopefully he’ll make the Grand Final...... as a Sky Sports pundit.

‘So Sean, we’ve just heard Phil Clarke write this Hull Outfit off for the third week running, however after their emphatic win against you last week, do you think the Black and Whites have what it takes to overcome St Helens tonight and be crowned Super League Champions?’

No disciplinary issues to worry about - a bit of good news on a bad day for the club. Catalans in a bit of bother though. https://www.rugby-league.com/article/57 ... view-panel

Didn't see much wrong with Houghton, he was already round the legs it was Satae who pushed him backwards so couldn't put a ban on that

Details of allegation: Makes dangerous contact when tackling. Reason for NFA: No dangerous contact, makes a good tackle, no case to answer.
