Hey clearing snow is a busy work!

The aggregate score for Wigan's last 3 visits to Belle Vue is 130 - 16.

Got back from West USA in time for the second half. Worth the effort even though I don't know what time or day it is. We'll done lads. Great speed in play the ball seemed to give us plenty of forward momentum. Pity we seemed to mentally clock off for their 2 second half tries but it doesn't take away from a super performance from the whole team. Now to get some sleep!

I'm sure they won something like 16-10 last year in the regular rounds?

They did

Forgot about that one. 140 - 32 then in 4 visits. Still impressive.

Anybody seen ScouseViking? Last seen spouting rubbish on here before kick off.

What, by saying we maybe signed him a little too late in his career.

One of his biggest criticisms has been his lack of pace, which you lose with age.

Maybe, if we had him a little earlier, he may have had a little more pace. It's hardly a dig, it's an observation.

Let's enjoy the win, life's too short

An excellent performance and well deserved win every player did their bit. Keep performing like that and we could be in for a strong finish to the season.

Up the Trin

We had him years ago ! He's never had pace ! But still a good player who puts his body on the line for the team he plays for!

I don't think anyone has ever criticised his commitment to the cause and effort

We've all been waiting since 8.15...

Chessy has told him to sign Joel Tomkins for next year

Fantastic result for the boys tonight and apart from a couple (or 3) lapses in defence, allowing Wigan some soft scores, Trinity were utterly dominant.
Some excellent performances too.
Fafita was immense in the first half and Pauli had his best 40 minutes in the second.
Really solid stuff from Jowitt and the Miller / Hampshire pairing is starting to look the part.

Wigan tried their usual grubby stuff and put in some headshots and tbf to Child, he wasnt having any of it and Wigan were lucky to avoid the team warning, although the sin binning of Leului probably affected that.

Seriously well played. Great game to watch and well deserved win. If Joel had played and Ben had been ref you would have lost.


Keep it going, think that goes a long way to calm things down regarding the top 8 and on that form theres still an outside chance of the top 4. Only my opinion but great work from Kyle Wood.

You should read back some things you have said regarding finny !

Ryan Hampshire... head and shoulders better than what we've had this year up to date. Kicking game was immense today. Really liked the look of us today. We looked quick and crisp in the halves and strong in the forwards. I'm not a fan of rotation, if some players are tired or playing busted then fair enough but we need to play our best week in and week out now.

Had a great evening in great weather tonight. Excellent performance across the board. Great to watch.

I know he played a few games for us before, a while back. I think in 2003.

Out of curiosity, why not keep him then.

Was he not ready for SL at that stage of his career

Cracking game from all the team tonight. Thought Pauli played a blinder he was like a steam roller flattening anything in his path.
Enjoy your weekend everyone

My feelings exactly. Chessy needs to give that formation a run if injuries permit. Best we've looked in ages

Complete team performance with everyone playing their part , they never let Wigan settle into any sort of rhythm.
And we’ll done for mostly keeping their cool with all the cheap shots flying about by letting the ref deal with them and punishing Wigan and not us

There will be at least one change for the next game with TJ away with England

V strong performance, Dave and Pauli were exceptional, both lead by example
Great to see danny back leading the side and really ran some great strong lines

Hopefully the Miller and Hampshire partnership will continue to develop because I really liked what I saw last night

Well played everyone

There has always been a strange attitude on this forum that for one player to succeed another must be rubbished so the current let’s dismiss Finn as finished by some of the less imaginative was inevitable I’m afraid. It’s pathetic, ungrateful and disloyal.

I’m one of Finn’s biggest fans, still am and I don’t think it’s over just yet. I also think that Hampshire is the shiny new toy of the knee jerk brigade though through no fault of his own. Something that might bite him in the Harris if he fails to deliver.

Why people can’t just give credit where it’s due whilst welcoming change I don’t know. Love Finny as I do being well into his thirties when joining us he was only ever a stop gap. But what a stop gap he’s been in fact he’s been way more than that and has payed the club back in spades.

Yes a talented young star is starting to rise and how great is that but there is some way to go just yet so why not enjoy having both players and once Finn is fit enjoy the competition that brings.

It’s just great imo to have three genuine HBs at the club as I’m sure you agree

I agree with all you say there Vasty, Fiin has been a great servant in his time with us.
The situation is a little similar to Grixy and Max.
The only thing I would wish is that when Grix and Finn are fit again, they too should have to play for their place not be automatic choices for return!
To me that's how it should work.
I'm a big fan of Finn and Grix, but they need to look over their shoulder! good position for us to be in !
