Hi paul,

I thought rovers did well last season think again they will be in the mix, even fancy them to make top six, hull can only do better they are def better than second from bottom, we will see !!!!!! good luck mate, ray.

Yes still in H+H, would not bet against your prediction on rovers and hull.

Redtom, you must admit its still better than watching a pitch full of over pay men rolling around when nobody has touched them.

Andy although i have temporarily fallen out wit Rugby league ! I have to correct you on what you are saying! JJB stadium is held on lease terms to both Wrlfc and wafc Both have leases on the ground for 100 years . If Mr Whelan wants them out ! He honestly cant do much about it. Also if you look at the front of the stadium it says Home of Wigan Rugby league FC and also WAFC. Also the stadium was financed and built from the proceeds of the sale of Central park Ron(aldo) P.S Hows your ears are they still cold .

I think it will still be hard to get away from leeds/saints again this season,but we will see.



Andy sorry mate cant agree with you, played both sports, when someone goes down in rugby there hurt, not like the other game a slight touch and there rolling 5 meters clutching there legs as if its been severed at the knee,player booked, up you get job done, some of them sould have gone to the olimpics sure they could have won us a gold in the diving,never mind each to his own,

Ray,

I suppose the conditions didnt help but to be honest i have seeen more skill shown at tower grange watching dockers.I suppose a draw was a fair result in the end.Rovers should have walked it really 6-0 up after two minutes with foxy running 70 yards.The ref was a complete plank as well giving poor decisions for both sides.Why dont they let the game flow,and show more consistency in their play.



Leeds at home on Friday vella already ruled out with knee ligament problems,he will be a massive miss for us.Mills will have to step up to the mark now and run his weight.Confident that we can beat the loiners though with a vast improvement on sundays debacle,

they say it was clash of heads but it was a big hit i reckon.

bailey's a dirty niggly player, it was good to see him get a taste of his own medicine, (cant bloody spell).

i bet he got the mick taken out of him on training ground today!

Wigan again lost, i predicted he would go after another loss.... lets see this week.

Ray,

Didnt play too well actually.Wakey lost Brad Drew in their first play,after he got crunched (fairly) by Scott Murrell.Would have been interesting to see what the outcome would have been had Drew not been injured.



I suppose the conditions never helped wind and rain,but overall it was a very dissapointing game.The ref did hid best to spoil the game as well by not taking wakey back 10 yards which in my opinion is killing the game,because it doesnt give the team with the ball enough time to string any sort of creativity together and makes the game stale and boring.



Two many head high tackles are being allowed as well and i am not quite sure about the ruling on the knock on any more.When i played if the ball went back ward you played on not anymore it seems.At the end of the day it is two points in the bag.Lots of improvements need to be made though if we are going to finish in the top four,though.We are at home to the welsh next week so should get another two,

Being a ref has to be one of the hardest jobs which is why they should receive more help from their linesman.They sometimes have a better view of the game then the ref himself.Its so annoying when you see a blatant forward pass or a stiiff arm and the "lino"will just stand there and do nothing about it,

One of the best games for a long time at St Helens.



At the end the commentators reviewed MoM and then discussed the referee. He was the one that should have got MoM for allowing the game to evolve naturally. No sin bins just sensible management.



This was a great advert for Rugby League. At the end even bailey was given hand shake and hugs, the "violence" was all in the game.

Good win for Bratford tonight. Smith has dropped 6 players for the game against Hull K R including Bridge & Briers. Rumour has it Briers going to Widnes now Cullen has gone there.

It was good to see the line up and shaking hands after the game a lot has been said about Saints & Leeds players not speaking to one another at the world cup, blown out of proportion probably and Eddie & Stevo don't help with their prattling on, you would think only Saints players had played in the world cup.

I also watched Hull last night,they dont look like a team to me that will be ripping up any trees this season.They are a very workman like side and look quite solid,but seem to lack the spark that the good sides have.



Went to Craven Park today.After 20 minutes it looked as though there could bee a shock on the cards as Rovers carried on where they left off last week at Warrington.12-12 at half time,the second half was so different an Rovers ran in six tries,with hat-tricks from Dobson and Fox.
