Indeed. The biggest difficulty Bridge had to face was choosing whether to stand Sarginson up or trample over the top of him.
I don't think Carney and Wells (whom I tend to like) once mentioned Sarginson's total failure in his defensive duties but instead spent ages both in commentary and at half time talking about how Burgess should have come in.

| There's been some absolutely god-awful defence on show this season. Thankfully we seem less afflicted by this disease than most. But it's difficult to see how long such can be sustained if the players know the other side are likely to cough up twice-fold for every mistake we drop.
It's precisely this problem which has repeatedly prevented us from chiselling out wins against Australia. Only this season it seems to have been exponentially exacerbated.

| Quote ="SomersetSaint"He reminds me of a less talented version of Shaun Ainscough, both appear to be superstars in their own lunchtime, both have major flaws in their game. At 25, Ainscoughs career is a distant memory, and I can't see Burgess getting a game in the NRL before he returns to play for Leigh/Bradford/Whitehaven and also disappears into oblivion. The goons need to work on keeping their players expectations rooted in reality, because they appear to produce average players with vastly over inflated egos.'"
I've seen some tripe posted on hear over the years but that's up there with the best/worst. Joe Burgess is one of the most level headed / grounded young people you will ever meet.

| I really rate Burgess. I was surprised to see him getting pelters from some fans on Cherry and White, recently.
What ever did happen to Shaun Ainscough?

Plays in the Championship for Whitehaven (and was obviously never anywhere near as good as Joe Burgess).

Does Somersetsaints post even meet "Tripe" qualification. Angry, bitter and jealous sounds more like it.

He is a top talent and a loss to the game over here, not sure he's ready for the NRL yet but I guess we'll all find out soon enough. Some of the goon 'loyal 18' or whatever crap they call themselves have picked on some of his errors because he is leaving, they obviously choose to forget that he's a young lad still learning.
I liked the look of Ainscough, it was refreshing to see a winger with real pace who was happy to go on the outside occasionally but I guess he just didn't develop enough to iron out the flaws in his game, probably wasn't helped by Nobby much.

Sounds like a great description of your own fans and coach after last seasons grand final. Still not over it yet either

To Most Saints fans, Wigans misfortunes are nearly as good as Saints successes. And i know the reverse is is true on the dark side of the lump

| I believe they might be considering future mass wedding ceremonies at the ground due to the prodical son Tomkins causing salary cap difficulties.
Will this mean they will close 2 stands in the ground causing mass opposing fans migration.

You have no idea what constitutes "strange" on this site. I could tell you some stories, believe me...

| Quote ="tank123"In the squad is one thing but how many would you be able to play when you count on it 6 maybe 7 at a push including Lomax if fit. Your dependant on players developed else were for props, 6 and 7. You have let go your best talents in the last 10 years and neither returned. Which is a pity for the game as they are now replaced by overseas players or players from other sides. We could see a fully fit squad and potentially 10-11 Wigan developed players in the side.
As for ST replacement it was Bowen who is now replaced by Rocky who was not quite ready for the position last season. See we plan things we know when certain things happens. If Sam does not comeback then Rocky has his position covered. We do not need to panic as we believe in our youth players our 1-17 is mainly Youth developed players now which in that i now include Rocky as Bowen is now coaching him according to Wane.
Instead of begging a side for a FB we have an issue who do we have on the bench and who potentially of Williams, Rocky, Powell and Logan Tomkins which one will leave potentially. Good development with great planning works well.'"
Look at this dimwit.
What's in the water in Wigan at all?
'Good development with great planning works' says the supporter of a team with 3 titles in 18 years to supporters of a team who are presently champions and have won a third of all available silverware in the last 15 years despite going through our biggest drought since the 1980s.
Honestly, they're bloody crazy Wiganers. They'd be as well building a wall around the place and nuking it. God knows what goes on there.

Oh dear. Always best to be careful calling someone a dimwit.
Your obvious knowledge of Rugby League clearly doesn't extend to pretty basic physics.
Did you think that building a wall would stop nuclear fallout from causing quite literally hundreds of pounds worth of damage in Sintellins then?
