Futtocks Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 WSL St Helens v Wigan has kicked off. To be honest, I don't give the visitors much of a chance here, as Saints have been the form team this season by a distance. Here's hoping Wigan put up a good fight.

unapologetic pedant Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 In relation to all the comments above, it`s worth emphasizing that it was our French friends who devised and developed Wheelchair RL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapologetic pedant Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Saints 52 Wigan 0 in WSL. Wasn`t as one-sided as might appear. Wigan are struggling with their attacking game. Very little shape and poor execution when they do move the ball. There were about half a dozen leg injuries incurred, including to key Saints players Jodie Cunningham and Emily Rudge, although both were walking after the game. I still don`t know whether this has a biological explanation, but there`s no doubt leg injuries are a major problem in women`s RL. It demonstrates the wisdom in limiting and staggering the number of games they play. There`s no point in a busier schedule if it just leads to more forfeits. The position for the first Saints try in the second half was set up by a repeat set forced after a Saints Tackle 5 kick took advantage of the Wigan winger being up in the line until Tackle 6. Not that you`d have known it from the commentary team who didn`t spot the early kick, just wittered on about the Saints kick and chase. Astounding how consistently oblivious commentators are to the tactical elements of the tackle count. It`s a simple game, Dave. Danika Priim was the pundit with Parky today. She must be aware of things like this when she`s out there playing. Perhaps the RFL perform a lobotomy on all their would-be commentators and pundits to ensure the requisite levels of ignorance and inarticulacy. York 28 Cas 14 in the other game. Semi-finals next Sunday at the Totally Wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I think they've come on fitness wise since 2019, being a fitter side is or will be an increasing big advantage in a part time game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
