Watching wigan play FC tonight. From minute 1 till minutes 40 Wigan seemed to be too strong, too fast, and too powerful for FC.

I think it's bread into them to do this, how can they be so successful to produce so many top rugby player when wigan has the populatioń of Greatfield?

In case you didn't know, Wigan Borough has a population of over 320K, a bit bigger than your beloved Greatfield.

Previous success breeds confidence. When the chips were down the Pies’ players stood up to be counted. FC’s top players just wilted under the pressure. They did not have the mental fortitude to compete.

Watched TV against Wigan and Warrington on the play off games
I am just wondering are FC exempt from having to stand square at the play of the ball?
