sack the whole lot team and coach let the reserve lads play out the rest of the season - I think I can say after watching players like dymock, hetherington, moran, paul, gill, matterson, edwards, mclinden, today I have watched some of the very worst.

Certainly very little point in playing the ones who won't be here next season, let a few of the u19s step up

We were appalling and err Wigan had a work out. Highlights the death of the game. The heartland of RL and the locals from one of the teams don"t bother going. Our demise from SL is in sight and RL as a national professional sport within my lifetime. Surprised, no. Disappointed, yes.

Shameful

Re: Wigan game : Sat Jul 27, 2013 7:36 pm  

I really hoped you would give them a game today but the effort from your players experienced players at that was shameful

Re: Wigan game : Sat Jul 27, 2013 7:55 pm  

Only saw the second half on TV but that must rank as the most lacklustre performance of any RL team at any level I have ever witnessed (and I'm well into my 50s). I've seen teams beaten my more points but they had some positives in their performances. I've seen teams with back room and financial problems play badly but still look more hungry. This team was totally and utterly uncoached, inept and quite frankly there was no player on the field that should ever be paid another penny to play RL. They were that bad and should all get proper jobs because they are not fit (either physically or mentally) to play even British level RL.

That would be a good crowd for Hudds

I understand one of the players wives was offended by the term "tossers" being used to describe them.... That seems pretty mild after watching today's game. Seriously, there is something seriously wrong when any team , sporting or not, makes no effort. But no one is saying.....
Wouldn't you just love to hear the conversation behind the sticks as Wigan passed 50. Jiffy joked that there was no grass there as it ad all been worn away by Wigan try scorers...

i think rugby league nowadays is a little too protective over each other and the competition. I whiteness crowds clapping away teams onto the field week in, week out. theres no competition any more.. so on that note

Pahahahaha weeeeeeyyyyyyyyyy your out of the cuppppppppp!
Wembly here we comeeee!!!!!

nillllllllllleddddddd

So yeah thats that out of the way.. Why do we think things have changed so much over the years? Is it getting better? Personally i see nothing better than people like the good Dr at 'red devils'.. Imagine if every chairman took on the same role spending what they like, ignoring the RFL rules.. I think its what the game needs to push it into the spotlight and people to take notice. The atmosphere tonight was a joke.
