Our best prop today in my opinion.

I trust your opinion mate. I probably need to put myself through a rewatch. Just his poor marker play stood out.

Parcel killed us all game.

I watched the game and had to double check that Toby King was playing!

Cooper, may be best now best effective off the bench, he’s quite old now.

At what point will Peet feel the fan pressure? Just asking, I think it’ll come.

King was involved in most of the tries, unfortunately most of them were for the Robins.

How do we “release” players?

Don't confuse them all with facts.

Gone from 1st/2nd in pre season predictions to relegation fodder in 1 game (some guy on twitter referred to us as this seasons Warrington).

Good God! I see Wire have won a match. Where were Duckie and co last season. Never heard a peep out them. I'd have thought they'd have learned to leave it at least a month or two into the season before gloating! Ever the optimists hey? Your year again boys?

King was okay before he signed a big money long-term deal. He's just never been the same since. I was hoping Wane would be the right guy to fix this, especially as King is still contracted to Warrington until the end of 2025 (I think?). A bit unfair to shame Wardle after yesterday - he looks like a proper skilled centre when he gets the chance.

Of course, it's the start of the season and this is just one game. It's totally premature to try and guess how the season will go based on the first round, even if we're all guilty of getting a bit giddy sometimes. Last season Leeds were awful until the last few games, whereas Wigan looked sharp and not far behind Saints. Then we ended up with Saints - Leeds grand final. One thing I will say is that the opening round seemed to be more entertaining than it has in previous years. Some good attacking play and teams looking a bit sharper and better-conditioned (bar Leeds who looked totally unprepared for some reason).

What facts are we talking about here? Those typical, set in stone RL "facts" that someone spews on here and others hold to be gospel?

Now if you want to talk about actual facts and real world examples - Inglis, Cooper, King, Magoulias & Charnley all left Wire during the season last year.

Granted, each had a different situation that was personal to them, but it can be done - especially if said player is OOC for the the following year. I'm sure Charnley jumped, especially knowing he had a further 2 years secured at Leigh.

Now someone would have to pick them up, but we keep getting told how great Miski and Mago are so that shouldn't be a problem right? Or are they duds that no one wants?

It’s a good job you have Field & French otherwise Wigan would be mid table, Peet was the best thing since sliced bread last year what’s changed?

Re: Squad for HKR Saturday : Sun Feb 19, 2023 10:53 am  

Jeez it feels good having opposition fans coming on telling us how bad things are for us

We’re one round in.

Re: Squad for HKR Saturday : Sun Feb 19, 2023 11:00 am  

Lets not write King off just yet, I thought he was one of our best players in the Salford friendly. It's not as though he hasn't got it in him is it?
