To weaken the NRL?

those lads played their hearts out tonight

No - to test the Visa application board

Also

Why have we signed a 3rd hooker when its evident hooker is not a key role?

I would say its a role we have a number of personel who can fill the role

We’ve signed the best hooker in the world.

And he can not even get in the Squad - Do we a Hooker, we had 3 tonight on a rotation bases - Great wasn't it

Most players don't get in the squad when thier injured!

Watkins academy product?

Ainscough was their most dangerous player too IMO. He will be a good 'un.

I agree we seemed to strugle to tackle him at times, but he has a really good step!

I thought that too mate, he's very hard to pin down

He has speed and strength too which are both good attributes for a winger

HERE HERE.

Lets sell diskin and buderus.

MUPPET!

WTF has that got to do with the centre debate???????

And what has Diskin got to do with the NRL?

Where did mention anything about the Hooking position?

Excellent rebuttal.

Why so touchy and aggressive? BTW, Internet Warrior, if you're going to get personal and aggressive best not to do so with someone who knows you were sat in Section B, row H of the North Stand tonight.

I'll give you a chance to call me muppet to my face next time your kid takes you to the match. Then he can carry you home.

Hooker is the most overrated position in terms of importance in the modern game.

He doesn't necessarily have to come from the NRL but that would be an option. I hope tonight's game hasn't had too much of a bearing on the healthy debate we're enjoying because that was, by some consideriable distance, the worst Wigan performance at Headingley under Brian Noble. Truly inept at times.

Faced with no credible opposition on the night, Gibson and Watkins did what they had to do which was nothing very much.

You missed out Ablett, who IMO deserved his MOM award tonight. Shows what some of the fekwits on here know!!!

I think that's a case of

[size=200OWNED[/size



Try to keep up.



But going by tonight hooker is not a specialist role.

why?

You didn;t think I would let tonight's game given the result and the line-ups go without it having any bearing on our discussion?



If this mystery signing we must make doesn;t come from the NRL where will he come from then?

Gibson and Watkins will most likely face their sternest test next week against a Saints threequarter line with at least 3 of their players fro their Academy.

If our forwards, halves and hookers (or stand in hookers) play like they did tonight then you could throw Mal Menninga and Gene Miles at us and it wouldn't matter.
