We might not win anything this year (Saints probably too good) but I must agree with NK, I’m enjoying watching Wigan again.

Field and French are genuinely are star attractions (a few of my lapsed fan mates came tonight to watch Field).

Havard, Byrne and Smithies thriving now they are being supported with proper senior props.

Smith and O’Neill two young academy lads holding their own replacing two of our better players.


Credit to IL for setting up this coaching staff, the balance of Peet and Briers seems to be working great.

Club feels so fresh compared to last year.

I had a ticket for tonight's game,and, for reasons I won't go into, I didn't get there, so unfortunately only heard the commentary and watched the brief highlights. We now clearly offer a threat in attack from all parts of the field, we just need to tighten up defence around the ruck and line speed. Easier said than done..

Thoughts so far on our coach who only got the job because of his accent?

My conscience is clear.

Who said he only got the job because of his accent?

Very pleased so far (especially our attack) apart from performances and results against the top two from last season - let's hope that changes on Saturday.
