I agree that Shorrocks did well but not that Smithies didn’t. In those early stages, when the game was full throttle, I thought Smithies took it to them on both sides of the ball. Asiata is an experienced NRL player and him snd Smithies had a really good early battle. It’s all about balance for me. It felt like we found a nice balance on Thursday, with the likes of Byrne, Powell and Smithies starting and Havard, O’Neill and Shorrocks coming on as replacements. They opened us up a bit...

This could be bad news for Wigan.

Austin has given a few away for high tackles, a few times he has shot out the line aggressively and got the tackle wrong, fair play to him as a half back trying to make a difference in defence.
Think that's a bit unfair on O'Connor, he is often the on leading the line in defence.

There are three ways of looking at how to grow the sport.
There is the IMG commercial model, which is create an exciting and vibrant top-flight, with lots of fans and engagement, with millionaire owners and sponsorship and TV money. The extra interest in the game because of the vibrant top flight, will spread the game and increase interest, with a spin-off of more grassroots involvements.
This first option is aimed at the top teams in super league and growing the game.
There is the growth model... Читать дальше...

“The Wigan Head Coach has made three changes to the squad, with the inclusion of Iain Thornley, Junior Nsemba and Tom Forber.
Willie Isa is unavailable for the Warriors after picking up a one-match suspension, whilst Jai Field and Cade Cust are unavailable through injury.”
No Astley so Sam Powell in the halves.
If everyone’s fit I’d go
French
Miski
King
Wardle
Marshall
Powell
Smith
Byrne
O’Neill
Cooper
KPP
Farrell
Smithies
Shorrocks
Havard

Not thinking about relegation too deeply just yet but it can also be a new opportunity for the club, as all playing contracts are null and void and we can start again. The IMG points lost for say having a 9th placed average finish to say a 12th placed one following relegaton isnt that much either. The league finishes will drag down our score even if we stay up.
The big question would be the ground rent and how many of our costs are fixed and how many only apply if crowds are above a certain level. Читать дальше...

He's going great for us. I think he's a player that really needs to be in a highly professional set up to get the best out of him and he has that right now.
I was against his signing after seeing him balloon at Leeds but he's been a revelation really and given the injury issues with Percy and Hoppa last year (and this!) we would have been in a tough spot without him.

We do. We also need Atoni to pull his finger out, for me he’s been the biggest disappointment of all. He’s been the epitome of that classic line ‘Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” and it’s time for him to step it up.

So it turns out that he is free to negotiate contracts for 2024 and could be back in SL without Leeds getting any financial recompense even though he was originaly contracted till the end of '24
