I recently went back to the patch of rough ground where Wilderspool once stood. I could still hear the crackling tannoy and 'When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman' by Dr Hook. I remembered the sound of the wooden steps up to the old stand and, then, the hard concrete ones of the new. There was a scent of cement when it was first built. There were the plumes of cigarette smoke, the smell of fried onions from the hot dog stall, and the bellow of the chap who yelled 'every confidence in you Hesford!' when the moment arose. Most of all, though, I remembered my dad in the sheepskin coat I now keep in the wardrobe because... because. I miss him very much.

If you're going to stage a match in London then use the Queen Elizabeth stadium that West Ham are tenants of. I've been to two sold out Diamond League events there and it has a great atmosphere and superb transport links - the Elizabeth Line into the centre of the city can handle high load. Definitely not Twickenham for countless reasons.

Makinson and Benison are no slouches. Not Ashton-Dufty quick, admittedly, but not that far behind.

They sure do. They totally smothered any attack. But aside from a few smart kicks, they are predictable in shape when they move it wide.

On a wide and perfectly manicured Old Trafford pitch it needed a side with blistering pace. There's only two others in SL that can match Wigan in that department: Warrington and St Helens. And if those two, only one is arguably faster. The former. That was my original point. I still think there would have been a new name on the trophy tonight if Warrington had been there, and I mean that as no disrespect to KR. I was there and shouting as loudly for them as anyone else.

Really sorry that Hull KR's fairytale ending did not come to pass. Really sad thing is that I reckon Warrington would have turned Wigan over tonight, because pace out wide was what they have in abundance and the Robins do not.

Well played, Oldham. Hopefully we'll play you again in the upper tiers of the game sometime soon.

Glad to hear you had a good time, Gogledd. But I wish we had bid you farewell with a loss to take home - the Cornwall boys were bitterly disappointed as they felt the game was there to be won. Still, good luck for the rest of the season, and see you next year otherwise.

I do understand why we're predicted to finish 8th in 2024, but both my head and heart say it will be a few places higher than that in the end.

It's far more than that! I don't know of any better arena in SL never mind L1.

Has Liam Farrell ever been tackled where he isn't facing backwards?

London seriously hard done by there. No wonder the players are fuming

Fair play to both sides. Good game considering the soft paddock.
