Havard, Partington, Byrne, Shorrocks and Smithies in another era would have been playing in the A team with one of them getting a game every few weeks. Now they are among the mainstays in the current pack and they are going to be found out in this type of game. Wigan lack an “enforcer” and also an impact player such as a Ben Murdoch-Masila. Smithies has got to learn that it’s not macho to be hitting players late and giving away penalties. Hull, like Leeds last year, played the conditions well and deserved to win.

Goodway must have had smelling salts on his boots because Cullen’s recovery was remarkable!

Saints star whose joke upset Wigan fans

That sort of humour was commonplace in the eighties and of course still is today. It’s beyond belief that someone would react like that instead of laughing it off. Absolutely nothing wrong with it; give some, take some and enjoy the banter. -
Substitutes were first used, I think, in the 64-65 season and the Wigan-Hunslet CCF was the first time at Wembley. The game was in many ways much harder then.

He was knocked unconscious and taken off in the 1963 CCF against Wakefield Trinity.

He was moved to full-back by coach Griff Jenkins who preferred Stan McLeod at stand-off. He played full back in the 1963 CCF against Wakefield Trinity; one of my favourite players.

Ray French again; “good ball” for a simple pass, followed by “better ball” for another simple pass. -
Henderson Gill was a special player and a great character.

I think that was Green Vigo in 1977.

This was tried in 1995 with the South Queensland Crushers with some involvement by former Warrington coach, Darryl van der Velde. I think they lasted 3 seasons. This doesn’t mean to say it couldn’t work now with a larger population.

A fantastic achievement! -
He did appear to be in a bad way but it’s hard to believe that given the current attitude to head injuries he would have been sent back on.
-
If this were to be correct then surely someone on the St.Helens coaching / medical staff should have some questions to answer. I hope Stevie Ward can get over his problems, return to full health and stay involved with Leeds.

He’s at it again Derek Beaumont.....

Jamie Acton was born in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; slightly outside of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan -
Disciplinary strike again.

Greenwood is a Wigan player and should have been banned for life -
When scoring the first try it looks like Bevan French who is trying to catch him.
