I have some sympathy with Penrith not wanting their players to have to come back to England again after a long World Cup. But the way they have framed this as a 'second trial game' should see St

It's good to see Channel 4 buy the rights for this and expand their coverage of the sport:

Positive comment done 

Can people now start focussing on the negatives 

One negative is it says it is at 7 in the morning on a Saturday so I will be at work and will have to watch it on catch-up... 😔

...but at least there's a catch-up service to watch it on! 👍

Sorry, I made that into a positive didn't I?

From a broadcasting point of view, it feels like something is happening right now. 

It does. The effect of the increased coverage from the BBC with the World Cups, and subsequent positive ratings and social media coverage, cannot be overestimated.

Will Hopoate is out of the WCC*. 
 

*He’s not but he most likely will be. 

He's not even fit enough to start pre-season training let alone be ready for the WCC. At least with Wellens now in charge he won't be an automatic pick for Saints just because he's Tongan. He'll be 2nd choice centre (behind Percival & Hurrell), 3rd choice FB (behind Welsby & Bennison), and 3rd choice winger (behind Makinson, Ritson & Bennison)

Warriors were full of youngsters and I think Wigan won. 

Wasn't that the one where Wane used all of his tactical genius against the young Warriors at half time?

 “Knock people out. I can't give you any more of a free rein than that".  “Create f***ing mayhem. Be reckless."

Fast forward that season - Ben Flower explodes at Old Trafford and costs Wane a title.

Maybe he's learned some lessons since then - but it's still partly why I worry about him picking MM in high pressure games.
