  1. Wakefields capacity is somewhere between 7,500 & 7,900, I’m not sure which because there’s been conflicting reports. Either way, it’s an amazing achievement for the club to sell out!
  2. Well done Featherstone, deservedly won the game and probably did Wakefield a favour.
  3. I’ve got TalkSport on from 6.00am till 4.00pm every weekday and not once have I heard a single presenter mention Rugby League commentary is a different thing, it serves them to have that content but why never mention the sport during their broadcasts during the day? They have Union guests on doing features, Darts, Snooker, Boxing and never shut up about Cheltenham race meetings but have no time to talk about Rugby League, it’s disappointing to say the least
  4. And to emphasise my point Since we last discussed this we’ve had Wigan winning the World Club Championship and we’ve just seen Rugby League dominate headlines in all sorts of places, media platforms and outlets by taking over Las Vegas but not even the slightest mention of either on TalkSport
  5. My guess is that Cas have pleaded with WMDC to be allowed to use the £2M for these Plan ‘B’ alterations which will gain them IMG points and maybe save their SL place. In return Cas will have promised to use £2M of any future funding from the Developer for the Community elements that the original £2M was planned for. Whether that ever actually happens is very doubtful because it would take too much funding away from a future stadium rebuild
  6. A very good coach in his time and seemed to be a very genuine bloke sad to hear that he’s gone RIP
  7. He’s just a Lancashire Mark Applegarth
  8. I don’t think the Wardle Try was a Try, equally I don’t think the Penrith Try at the end was a Try. In both cases the Ref is bound by the guidance he’s given. He sees the ball on the line he sends it up as a Try, he sees the ball held up he sends it up as a No Try, then the VR has to conclusively see evidence that overturns the Refs decision. THATS THE GUIDLINES! It’s the Refs call rule that’s wrong, if he hasn’t seen it he shouldn’t be guessing, just let the VR do his job unhindered. Im not seeing the forward pass for the 2nd Try, I’ve no issue whatsoever with that Try standing French’s Try from the scrum was marginally offside but really close so No Try The ball strip is one of those that happens so quickly that the Ref really can’t be blamed, he’s got to make the call as he thinks and doesn’t have the benefit of slo mo replays. PTB penalties could have gone either way they’re 50/50 I thought Penrith got away with slowing Wigans ruck down for the full 80 minutes. There were a couple of high shots from Penrith that should have been penalised but the Ref let them go. In the end, Wigan looked the more inventive with the ball while Penrith dominated field position but couldn’t create enough to take advantage of it. With Wigan showing such resolute defence coupled with their better attacking play, I think they just about shaded deserving the win.
  9. I think you misunderstood me, I’m saying if he was trying to give Wigan the game, that’s what he would have done. He wasn’t so he didn’t
  10. I know which team was benefiting from a quick play the ball all night and here’s a clue it wasn’t Wigan
  11. If the ref was trying to help Wigan win the game he wouldn’t have sent up that Bevan French try hed have just given it!
  12. He is, Penrith got away with slowing the Wigan ruck down for the full 80 minutes
  13. Wouldn’t suprise me, the Ausies are World class dummy spitters and take the ball homers
  14. Looked short to me, can argue about momentum or double movement getting it to the line all day
  15. Bit harsh on Smith, Wigan haven’t had the ball outside their own 40 for almost the whole 40 minutes.
  16. That started from a poor decision by Smith to kick on the 2nd tackle when attacking the Penrith line. Penrith go 70 metres downfield and score from a kick on the 5th. also O’Neil got too interested in sledging Fisher-Harris and missed the tackle allowing Penrith to get a fast play the ball & a clean pass to Cleary
  17. When Wigan played Manly, the fireworks, the night sky and the sheer noise & intensity of the crowd had The Aussies startled as they came out
  18. If all the clubs chip in we might afford a Granny Smiths apple, that’s as close as we’ll get!
  19. No thanks Judging by the average Aussies attitude towards Superleague, international competitions and anything that’s not NRL or SoO coupled with the ideas put forward by Matty Johns, it’s a big NO from me. Johns suggested that our better players could go to the NRL while some of their Reserves could gain experience here with the odd star player doing a guest stint to flesh out their earnings. That illustrates the attitude to SL
  20. Barry is on todays episode of Lingo itv So he’s missed PUNT, BIBS & DERBY As a former kicker & coach whose played in many Derby’s that’s a bit of a miss
