Quite often really, although due to the nature of his job it's understandable that he's reluctant to go into details, we have a bit in common politically as we're both staunch conservatives especially living in the area's that we do

Likes been said previously and the big man himself , let’s go out and get Salfords scalp at home and keep that winning momentum/mentality rolling .Having watched a dire Wigan and Salford game on Fri where Salford’s unforced errors handed the game on a plate to Wigan and went out of the Cup with little resistance. I’m sure poaching won’t get too carried away by that lacklustre performance by both teams to be honest , and will have the players on high alert for the upcoming game ..IMO I feel we are too strong for Salford all over the field even having sneed and Croft in the half’s I feel Miller and Lino have the measure of them ,also sio and Burgess should hopefully be marshalled well by our wingers , play as we are doing and I see nothing other than a win.Then we can roll our sleeves up and turn our attentions to Wigan .

We don't get on TV very often, but when we do they always seem to make life as difficult as possible for us.
In the knowledge that we are on the televised game on Thursday, we have been selected for the Sunday afternoon BBC match. This means we have two consecutive 4 day turnarounds over Easter playing Wigan, Cas then Wigan again. This is really going to test the depth of our squad.

Ideal for players busting a gut to get in the team like Adebiyi, Aydin, Croft, Walker, Bowes etc. I’m confident that we have the depth and Poching seems willing to trust.

Not too bothered about Hicks tbh, but I wouldn't be happy with Kendal or Smith, haven't heard a lot about Thaler lately, wonder if he's got on the wrong side of Ganson again.

Hicks was in Smiths ear from the sideline, and that's why the sin binning wasn't forthcoming at the end of the first half. Regarding Thaler, he's my fav ref, and now he's away from the corruption that goes on. Fans are not stupid, and are now dropping off slowly due to this, and also by the way the game is changing. I'm not paranoid BTW.

Who the hell thinks a game needs 26 penalties against Leigh in one match, what's happened to a team warning, how inept is that to a
Entertainment business/sport ?
How can one side be so perfect & the other side wrong all the time ?
Whoever does that is an inept idiot !

Well if Leigh make that many infringements they deserve the penalties.

French is back for Wigan this week (although Peet isn't expecting too much from him first off), but assuming both he and Field are fit, then I suspect that both are likely to feature against us next week so we will need to be at our best to keep both of them quiet !!

I’ll take a different approach. French and Field will have the be on top form to keep Lino and Miller quiet
