Rock on Tommy

I can't think of a better 6 in SL and the way he plays would be equally as effective at 9. He'd be the perfect signing for us on a big contract.

chase only looks good because wakey are so poor at times

Seems like there is a reasonable crowd there now.

Would Rinaldi count on the quota?

33 penalties in 70 minutes. The James Child show.

The Saints & Wigan lot will be getting in now

Plus 2 sinbins, and 1 player on report

Players sliding a lot on the surface hope we've learnt from previous years and will use long studs tomorrow evening.

Different class this game...the ball movement is excellent

It is although Wigan have used 5 drives and a kick on several sets coming away from their own line. It's the right thing to do and when they have had better field position they have then been more expansive. The play by O'Loughlin for the try to go blind was superb vision. The biggest thing about this game over the others is the quality of players on show is much higher, and the referee is not dominating the game like the others wanted to do.

going back to the wakey cas game i thought young paul johnson at prop was really good and i remember john kear bigging him up in pre season and got to say he looked very good today a real prospect for the future deffo worth a look at for next season if wakey to get a licence.

Ooh, that sparks it up a bit.

What a game!

Cracking stuff - very difficult conversion to come!

Deffo, those green lines must be very off putting!!!

Draw would be a fair result IMO.

attendance 30,895

not bad, but you could argue that Wigan-Saints would have done 23K at the DW alone. Still not completely convinced by the 'magic' concept, the atmosphere seemed dead yet again. Whereas Wigan-Saints at 16-16 with a few mins to go would have been a hell of an atmosphere at the DW or Knowsley Road (same as it would for the other derby's)

The wide angle shot of the stadium made it look empty! Ridiculous.

Reckon he's 7K short on the snoozers in the London game.

Thought the best game of the day was the first, Hudds looked very strong I thought. Wire having some bad luck with injuries for once! Cas looked to play some good stuff at times, again the Rangi show. Quins/Cats was a snore fest. If we aren't thrashing them both there is something up. Saints vs. Wigan match had some good parts too, some great backing up and good lines. I know they are missing some personnel, but I thought Saints looked very ordinary at times, however they upped their game when it counted. Wigan looked to get a bit frustrated at the end, and they seem to have grown VERY arrogant. Both Tomkins having little paddys when it wasn't going their way. Bring on tomorrow!

agree, especially when they came onto the pitch whilst castleford and wakefield were still playing, very disrespectful too!

Both good players, particularly Sam, but both total to$$ers aswell.
