Is your use of capitalisation a hint as to a new signing?

| That may or may not be the case.
However, Bradford fans acknowledge that Cummins was trying to deflect from his team's defeat after being in front 18-4 with under 20 mins to go.
Never understood the "standing leg" theory. If a player is carrying the ball and drives into the tackle taking two players with him why should he not be expected to be tackled around the legs to bring him to the floor?
A player can't be running and have a "standing" leg at the same time.
Standing means being stationary, obviously, so if the practice is that dangerous as many say surely it has to be re-named or something? Maybe the "supporting leg". That makes more sense to me and perhaps explains it better for people like me who began to think they were talking in contradictions.

I'd like the rule to be changed so that if a player is being held on his upper body, the defending team can only grab or hold his legs, i.e they cannot drive into the legs. I'm sure if you asked Wane why they do it, he'd say it's to slow the tackle down and buy his side several more seconds, as it forces the ball carrier to submit and fall over. But imagine a 15 stone player, held by two 18 stone props on his upper body, his legs slowing to a stop beneath him. He then has another 15 stone player take one of his knees away with a driving tackle (All completely legal in the game and as admitted by Wayne Bennett it is being coached) you have then got the combined weight of all those players suddenly coming down on the ball carrier's knee joint. I bet it's responsible for a massive number of the leg injuries suffered by SL and NRL players.

The problems occur when players drive into the standing leg. Flanagan's injury is a prime example of why it should be taken more seriously. It is a bigger problem than the shoulder charge ever was IMO.
Defender's should pin the legs together, rather than drive into them. It's poor technique and it should be outlawed.

You are OVERWHELMING favourites. You really should be putting 30+ points on us the way that we have played all season.
You will smash our forwards, as per, and we will have no answer defensively, again.

It depends on how many Wane rests for the semi.
Sam won't play for starters.

Wane resting players vs Saints? Never. I thought he detested us?

You're playing London FFS!

Indeed. Pathetic that they have no faith in their side. If Wane rests Tomkins, it's because NZ Warriors/Saracens/whoever he's currently employed by want him saving. You don't rest players ahead of a game v London, you rest them for the game v London.

Your u19's would beat London if they wernt all banned and the Ape knows it. I suspect he'll play the strongest team he has available, He wont want to lose to Saint no matter what the game.
Good luck finding a Saints fan who think's we'll win.

London U19's are one of only two teams to have beat Wigan U19's this season.

| I'm dreading Monday's game.
There's no spirit or determination to win and with our best two players missing I can't see how our forwards are going to punch holes anywhere in Wigan's defence.
If Tomkins plays (and I can't see why he wouldn't considering he's missed 2 games recently) then it could be an embarrassing score for us.

Stop pretending your mates with 'Sam' it really is stomach churning. I dont care if the rat plays or not we'd need a pack with some stomach to win and we dont have one of them. It's sad but your average bunch of 'hard working' players would beat us 9 times out of 10 at the moment as our team has no guts

Like I said I dont care and I'm referring to you and the other inbreds always calling him 'Sam' it infers you actually know him and it makes you sound like that sycophantic bell end Eddie Hemmings. Even when he was in love with Wellens he didnt constantly refer to him as 'Paul'

Wane will be too scared of him getting injured again especially with it being a derby game.

You are correct. Last night we had Carney and the chuckle brothers Baz and Tez oh Sam oh Wigan and that is without the hair dye king giving it Sams team yuk. Let the rogue clown get back on red vee with like minded people. Even his own people on cherry and white cant stick him.
