Look, the world's strange enough. We need some normality. Start arguing immediately...that's an order!

That's what marrying a Wiganer does for you. A calming influence.

Haha luckily she doesn't read the forums but I do get the occasional "I wish you'd stay off Twitter after a game" from her

OK.

Wigan are awful. Mid-table fodder.
Bateman is past it.
Peet can't coach.
Hardaker is going.
French has lost all his pace.
Field staying in Aus.
Low crowds. Ancient and disloyal.
Got no ground. Blue seats.
Your 2 new props are terrible.
Thornley can't catch.

That do?

Apart from getting French and Field mixed up, sounds spot-on!

It’s been a good debate between yourself and NK.
I’ve enjoyed it.

It will be interesting when god willing the WC takes place which players will take the field as the backrowers as we have a pretty decent crop to choose from
Bateman
Knowles
Farrell
Currie
McMeeken
Whitehead
Jones
Bentley

If I was picking a team right now for the World Cup I would say

Bateman
Farrell
Knowles

is your strongest 3 on paper, by some distance. This is despite Bateman's underwhelming season if that's the right word.

Bateman will no where the WC starting team.

First, he’s not actually that good as this season has proved and secondly, he’s too easy to wind up which is ok when you play mid table plodders like cas and Warrington but the Aussies would just exploit it

Haha. They really exploited it in his time in Oz.
