Luke Thompson named at 9 for Wigan. Channeling his inner Paul King

Good gamė this one so far Clark having a field day at dummy half.

If briscoe goy a yellow, Welsby should be off too

It's an absolute lottery isn't it.

Absolute quality game Wigan saints.

Just so frustrating how we got hammered by disciplinary early in the season,

Yet we’ve just seen two high shots that don’t even get a penalty.

Tommy Briscoe moves his left cheek, and Kendle flashes a yellow card.

the game tonight was officiated in an excellent manner I thought, great entertainment and the winners just about deserving it.

Not sure it was officiated in an excellent manner. A few inconsistencies in dealing with head contacts and the amount of interference in the ruck was unbelievable but went unpunished.

Tristan just fluffed his lines.

Thought the game had a great flow to it, and with such high intensity and physicality it was a pleasure to watch, off course players staying down deliberately looking for an advantage is adding further difficulties for referees.



We’ll agree to differ on this one.

only watched the 2nd half, but though he looked really dangerous, good assist for the try and nearly set up another with a good pass.

[i"In the 63rd minute full-back Tristan Sailor, who had not enjoyed a happy night, found centre Katoni Staggs with a flick pass and the centre raced 55 metres to bring the crowd to life ."[/i



Think you caught the best of him Dave.

He'd had a bit of a mare up to then.

Still be overjoyed to get him, probably look a world-beater in our current roster and what we've got coming in.

do we really need another full back though Wiz

Centre and halfback are a real concern and we could really do with another front row

Sailor is in a different league to the 2 young kids, and thats no disrespect to them.

He'd have to be off his tree, anyways, if he came to us when Saints are offering him a gig.







I know.......

I see Andre Savelio made just his fourth appearance of the season for Huddersfield yesterday... and picked up his second red card.

Should knickname him “feet up” spends that much time at home.

Does anyone on9w how asiata went for leigh?

Difficult to tell. The game was stop start with no rhythm or fluency, and the ref lost total control of the game. The whole game was a farce. I predict an enquiry due to some discombobulating decisions. Sorry pal, buts that's the best answer i can give.

Cheers

Can you give us an appraisal of each of our new signings please mate. In general not yesterdays game.



Be brutally honest!



Also how's Leutele doing? I understand he's out of contract.

Watched the Manly game this morning. You just have to marvel at the skill set of the players over there. The way they shifted the ball from edge to edge was class above.

1st of all, Asiata has just come back into the team, and been our captain fantastic for us. He'll be a great addition for you guys if he stays fit.



Hardaker has been hot & cold so far this season, and doesn't like to pass to his winger. His defence is questionable at times too. He will be 33 at start of next season, maybe his body could be feeling the intensity of Superleague. Time will tell.



Chamberlain is a squad player in my view but done ok when required to play. Not SL standard in my opinion.



Holmes hasn't really featured this season. He's been decent for us but maybe SL is not for him now, and will be 32 in 3 weeks. Again, time will tell.



Leutele his a solid centre, and carries the ball well. I thought we would've kept him for another season, but it looks like we won't offer him a 2 year deal. Maybe we have a top centre lined up to announce when it's appropriate.



In my opinion, I would've liked to have kept Asiata & Leutele.



Hope I've been helpful.

You have indeed mate. Pretty much what I thought.



Asiata is quality but a risk. We probably had to offer him a long contract otherwise he wouldn't have signed.



Holmes I'm ok with. Solid and we are short in the second row.



I wouldn't have gone anywhere near Hardaker both for playing reasons and his off field antics.



I don't know much about Chamberlain but signing a squad player on a 3 year contract is puzzling.



I'd like Leutele but only on a 1 year deal. Quality player.

When that review comes from Cokey with no axe to grind you have to wonder what planet Ritchie Rich is on

Chamberlain not S/L standard

Hardaker has been hot & cold so far this season, and doesn't like to pass to his winger. His defence is questionable at times too. He will be 33 at start of next season, maybe his body could be feeling the intensity of Superleague. Time will tell.

Sounds like Sutcliffe

Holmes hasn't really featured this season

And you wonder why one or two of us question the poor recruitment

No offence to Cokey, but I'd think Myler and Grix are probably more qualified than him to say if a player is good enough for SL.

You mean they are so qualified that it took months for them to give Balmforth his break into S/L or continued to play Smith in the halfs when he was more than useless.

Cokey is a passionate Leigh supporter with balanced views and certainly no axe to grind about these players.

He is only stating what he sees at his club which may not be what FC supporters want to hear
