Ha, that's what I said. Foz reckons he did it himself since 'he seems the sort'. I don't disagree.

If it is sell out then it would be the first ever.
IF we win tonight I think next Fridays crowd will be around the 13,800 mark

No 8 point try.
Clubb and his blatant professional foul when the Wigan line wasn't set should habe been a yellow.
A few incidents in which you feel if the team wasn't a big club they would have been penalised.

Please Mr Ganson.

Can you look at players not playing the ball, players moving off the mark so that they play the markers offside, players mouthing off at refs.

It it takes Child/Hicks proportion of penalties in the beginning to sort out i don't mind but loving chuff it is doing my box in now. We are just as guilty too with that.

I would say Wigans attack is one dimensional but I think that would be giving them too much credit. Is there such a thing as 'no dimensional'?

Widnes certainly have lots of pace in the team but without Kevin Brown they would be lost.

Still don't understand how both Wigan and Hudds let KB go?

What is the official capacity? We had a 14000+ back in 2013. Only remember that as it was a rare Monday night game, we beat Wigan and I had to go into work on the Tuesday with a horrendous hangover!

Wigan let him go as they needed to make room for fielden coming in during 06, and he was largely a here or there centre. Obviously him and robinson formed a pretty good partnership, then he moved back this side of the pennines to be closer to home, but after they'd signed brough.

If you go on the goons board they seem to thinktheir attack is geared up for having stomkins in the backline, obviously stomkins isn't in the team so makes it a bit futile, however i'd dispute that point as well, they're just blunt.

Because Wigan had
Trent Barrett - Thomas Leuluai - Sam Tomkins (in the wings)

Actually I don't think KB had a particularly outstanding game last night.
Don't get me wrong he was still influential, but I think Wigan restricted his role somewhat with their tactics.
His kicking wasn't as good as I've seen etc.

Having said that, Hanbury more than stepped up to the mark.
Marsh had a good game but their other winger didn't particularly (can't remember his name).

Forwards were what struck me.
With basically the same pack as last year they really stood up to be counted.
Don't know quite why it should appear this year.

Full of admiration for Widnes.
