6' and 15st doesnt seem big enough really

Best of luck to him.
Not sure the coach will be too happy with him letting the cat out of the bag so soon though.

Another Wiganer.
Where would Rugby League be without us.



Good luck to the lad, hope he has a great debut.

Mobile, good go forward and excellent in defence

oh God no! youre back from holiday!

still not beat saints at the millennium stadium have you?

No but we're getting closer and would have done if quarter backs pass had been called properly.

No mention of your try from the goal line drop out

yeah yeah yeah

Or the last penalty that you got that never was, which gave you a chance to win the game, or the Easmtond knock on which was given against Hoffman and gave Saints the field position, or the Scott Moore tackle on Sam Tomkins in the air and a penalty given to Saints for O'Loughlin stealing the ball.

Great game though.

Or the Goulding knock on from out of Lomax's hands which should resulted in another set of six, or the incorrect ruling for the disallowed Shenton try.

Great. Another one of these threads. Welcome back, Rogues.

That was a shocker of a decision for the last penalty and I agree it was forward for Meli's pass but I've seen them given at under 8's when a 'poorer' player scores but it isnt really a try they give it for effort!

Stick to the thread!

Sick of every thread turning into a Wigan vs Saints debate. So boring!!

Correct.
There Is a common denominator though.

Indeed there is.

how did tommy go then?

He did superbly I thought. A good spell on the left buttock, quality hip rotation and leg swing to move onto the right and then a good spell of hamstring stretching and passing practice with the water bottles.

He came on with about 10 minutes to go.

HIs first bit of action was with one minute left, when Salford kicked to him on the wing. He failed to take the catch and Salford scored the try.

Not the most auspicious of debuts, but he got on the field and hopefully in years to come he will show us what he is really capable of.

A brutally honest assessment there!

Not the best debut in my opinion but didnt have enough time to impress, he's got alot of pace and is deffinatly one for the future in superleague, dunno if he is saints standard but thats just my opinion, and he's no stand off. centre, winger or fullback

Who said that Makinson was a Stand Off?

I don't think anyone did. It's just that all our young players these days seem to be stand offs!

Fair enough.
