Frank has managed a massive 77 .....yes I'll spell that out seventy seven...not a hundred and 77........77 tackles ALL season. He averaged 6 (SIX) a game his three games prior to the derby.
The maligned Allgood 45 tackles in the derby alone and 6th in superleague and all with a busted thumb.

Albert Kelly managed 34 in the derby. He's a half back by the way.

Frank 13th in tackles made at his own club. Is he a three quarter?

All them tackles kr made yet we still won, better luck next time, move on now this is about Wigan today now, a fan posted the games on tele it's not on sports channels, is it gold or Comedy Central?

I'm going, well actually I am already in the Wigan area, having met up with old rugby 'pie-eating' pals, something we do every year. There's a number of Rovers supporters around the area with it being a bank holiday and a fair few at the Travel Lodge me and our lass are staying at in Widnes. Long live the die-hards!

You see making fewer tackles as a negative?

You are right, I stand corrected.

Might be the football, as both games are to played at home, going to be some work to do for ground staff.

Good point well made Jake. These people do need some educating.

Strange that Danny Houghton is held in such high regard for the number of tackles he makes??

Different rules when it suits.

So shouldn't your number 9 be heavily involved in defence? Albert jelly made so many tackles as we run at him a lot, kr should run at key attacking players, maybe they won't come into the game at the end & take the spoils.

Its probably due to him being targeted by the opposition forwards, whereas Frank is avoided due to his size.

Hope you all have a great time. I would love to be there but its too late as I have work in the morning.I have never been able to get to Wigan's new place but as I am suposed to be retired I will make the effort next time. I have a feeling we won't be a pushover tonight, not expecting a win just hope the young lads have a good experiance, give em an extra cheer from me.

You lost, though.

And you're still a c0ck.

That post says so much about you. You are not the brightest are you my red and white friend.....

I'm not your friend.

Class! Ever thought of becoming a limbo dancer? The fact that everything goes over your head makes you a natural....

Aren't you boring.

Just looking for some intellectual banter....erm....back to the Leigh board for me....

Not going to watch the champions elect? What's wrong? Has your giro ran out already?

Houghton's work rate is unbelievable, but I think most Hull fans wish he'd be involved in a little less tackling.

Couldn't really care less about how many tackles Pritchard makes, the less the better for me, his strength is with the ball. Another stat that has for some reason been omitted here is that he has carried the ball more often than anyone else in the team. In fact, on average he is only one carry per game away from leading the league for carries. So he's not exactly shirking.

Is that your best effort? Wit is not your strong point is it....

Yes, that really is his best effort
