Meh.

Decent win. French is a real attacking threat from full-back. He is one of those players, like S Johnson, who can at times just dance straight thought a defence, and it's always good to have a guy like that on your books. Leeds had a better side out than last week when they were trounced by Saints, with Konrad Hurrell and few others returning. But we handled him OK.

Furthermore, Briscoe's try should never have been given. He put it down in the corner, the ref blew for a try straightaway, but the big screen replay clearly showed he had put his foot on the sideline. If it had gone to the VR, it would certainly have been disallowed. They kicked the touchline conversion too, so that's six points they shouldn't have had.


[edit] Re-watching, that's not right. Leeds did not kick the conversion.

If you get to see the game, or highlights of it, TFR, I'm sure you'll see some scores you will enjoy!

Yes, thanks moto748, I am starting to keep more of an eye out.

Kayo Sports have 'minis', which allows me to see the highlights of certain games. They are handy, although I watched the Warriors vs. Castleford game in full the other week. Unfortunately, I think St Helens has gone to the top of the ESL table once again. We cannot allow this!

Wigan is up 12-0 over Hull FC in the Challenge Cup quarter final. Come on you mighty Warriors!

12-12 Wigan vs. Wakefield in the ESL regular round fixture this morning, after initially being down to the struggling Trinity. Come on Warriors!

 

[The_Fanatical_Rooster]

A 28-16 win to Wigan this morning.

I hope that all is well with you moto748.

Jai Field - useful pick up. He may go well in the UK.

Wigan Warriors half-back Jackson Hastings has signed a new contract to remain with the Super League club for the 2021 season.

Good luck to him. I hope that he continues to do well over there. I wish the very best for him.

Wigan Warriors head coach Adrian Lam has signed a new one-year contract to remain with the Super League club for the 2021 season.

Lam initially joined Wigan for the 2019 campaign but stayed for a second season after Shaun Edwards changed his mind about taking over at the DW Stadium.

The 50-year-old led the club to a first League Leaders' Shield since 2012 and the Super League Grand Final - which they lost to Saints.

Thomas Leuluai has signed up for an 11th season with Wigan Warriors after agreeing a one-year deal for 2021.

The New Zealand international half-back, 35, is in his second spell at Wigan, having spent six seasons there from 2007 before returning in 2017.

DAVE BOLTON: A rugby league star who was one of the first British players to enjoy success in Australia has died at the age of 83.

Dave Bolton, who made his Wigan Warriors debut in 1954, scored 127 tries in 300 games for his hometown club before joining Balmain Tigers in 1965.

The Rugby Football League (RFL) said his "career records speak for themselves".

Wigan Warriors said Bolton was a "Wigan and Great Britain legend".

Wigan Warriors forward George Burgess has left the club on medical grounds.

The 28-year-old joined the Warriors from Australian side South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2020 season on a three-year deal.

However, a persistent hip injury restricted the England international to just eight appearances.

It was a good win by the boys coming from behind against the newly promoted Leigh Centurions yesterday morning. I am sure Lam's stress levels won't be calming down any time soon, though. It was great to be able to watch this fixture on Kayo. Looking forward to the rest of the 2021 English Super League season. There should be some cracking games coming up.

A solid win to the boys against Wakefield Trinity last week: 34-6.

S J, when I get time, I will try to set up threads for Wigan games. Have you heard anything from moto748? I haven't for a long time.

The_Fanatical_Rooster No mate - he got the sh*ts with someone and said he was going.

He does look in though. Maybe send him a message ?

I don't know why people just don't use the ignore button instead of leaving in a huff.

That's a shame, I might just do that.

 

[The_Fanatical_Rooster]

Thinking further, I believe he might have got into a couple of political debates with a few on here. That might have been something to do with it.

Australian half-back Jackson Hastings will leave Wigan Warriors at the end of the season to return to his native country with Wests Tigers.

Hastings, 24, has been a huge hit in Super League since joining Salford in 2018, scoring 25 tries in 65 games, and was named the 2019 Man of Steel.

It will be interesting to see how he goes with Madge and co out here. While I believe he has matured and improved significantly as a player, playing with a squad like the Tigers will be a very different proposition to that of the Warriors. I wish him well, but it will be quite a challenge.
