I remember Bob Jackson playing at Leigh the day after he flew in from Aus and played like he was the only one who didnt have jet lag.

Do we know if Jacko flew First Class on Emirates? I reckon he stood up in the cargo hold the entire way. Different player, different times, different level of resilience.

Maybe it wasn't just Powell who didn't trust the youngsters.

To be fair to Gaz and Rich they are not going to make wholesale changes in a couple of days; it will be more of building the confidence of the players and getting them to go out there with a smile on their faces and enjoy playing.

I'm really excited about the game as I know Gaz and Rich are; no matter what the result I'm certain that the performance will be a lot better than of late.

Powell shambles, Holbrook hokey-cokey, McGuire shenanigans, Wigan and Saints fans (easy life) laughing at us, well I don’t bloody care, I ruddy love this sh**show! I’ve had a couple of laphraoigs but I’d like nothing more than us to win it with Chambers (great player by the way).

Give me this rollercoaster than walking out of OT five minutes before your team wins another GF any day of the week.

Stick with Chambers for as long as possible until the right candidate comes up.

It’s a sh*tshow, but it’s our sh*tshow.

I remember leaving OT as the hooter went in 2018, walking back to the car, which was a mile or so back towards the Trafford Centre - was stunned to see so many Wigan fans doing the walk with us.

I’m not going to be going home for about a week when we finally get the monkey off our back*.

*i’m in my 30s and still holding out hope
