He wouldn’t make their bench

If we keep the team relatively healthy throughout the season then we're definitely in there with a shot. Priority has to be the WCC, to have five stars on our shirts would be sublime.

I’ve never really got the criticism about fast players not being good players. They are just using their natural talent. I will admit I never got the hype around Reagan Grace and thought what he did offer going forward he did have some defensive issues just because of the size of him, same with Marshy really, the CC final sticks out when Fanou just bulldozed him (obviously he was a lot younger then). Fields is fast and pointing out try’s like his one man effort against Leigh last year avoiding 3 players to go over was class. Plus his tackle on Hurrell I think it was on GF. He’s a great player but people just can’t see get past his pace. I do think French and Welsby do have more of a rugby brain and can sometimes be wizards with the ball but Fields hasn’t had to do much of that as he’s so fast. Only criticism I have is Fields passing ability but he can nail a good ball at times

To go back to back with Grand Final wins would be my number one priority because we’ve never done it but winning any trophy will be tough. All the predictions I see have us finishing 1st and the bookies have us as favourites for the lot but it’s easier said than done. I’m confident the coach and this group of players won’t get carried away with themselves and if they don’t, they’ve got a good chance of having plenty of success.

Redvee is a better read than the Beano.

4 more years for Miski announced also. https://wiganwarriors.com/blog/2024/01/ ... -new-deal/ He’s no Ritson but we’ll have to make do.

Brett Kenny was like that too.

It’s true though. He’s an exceptional broken field runner. Apart from that he has nothing to his game. Which is why there is absolutely zero interest from the NRL

If you look carefully into this statement you can actually hear and feel the fear of someone who knows whats about to come over the next few years. He's petrified.

The trick with trolling is NOT to show your backside in public. It's a trick you haven't learned yet.

This is the reason we think you are a joke as it is obvious you know jack sh*t about RL,stick to onion is my advise.
And stop being a pathetic troll please.

An example of the kind of person that posts on Redvee

Quite sad really. Makes you wonder how they manage to attract sponsors for their site

He's a very naughty boy by the sounds of it.

Had you been around 30 years ago you would have been one of those supporters who would say "all Offiah can do is score tries".

Agree. This is where I see a bit of similarity between Field and Offiah, both speedster but both have/had great defensive qualities about them.

There'll always be idiots who'll sound off foolishly and let the rest of their fellow fans down.

Used to hear it at away grounds when Hanley was playing, Edwards, Farrell etc.

Wiganers are no exception to this. It would have been a total nonsense to deny that Sean Long was an amazing player, so some of our lot preferred to make big play of his off-field antics etc. Equally, there were some who stubbornly refused to accept Kevin Sinfield's quality.

However, once you've been watching a long time, I think you're so embedded in the game that you can appreciate these guys' skills regardless of all other factors. Yes, they can be instrumental in your team's destruction, but rather than hating them for that talent, a more sensible reaction would be to fear them.

Overall, I reckon most fans would prefer to watch a game with stars in it than a game without. Even though Welsby has wreaked havoc against us many times, it would be a damn shame if we lost him to the NRL.

I think we have been here before



Facts always beat assumptions or bias

Jai Field:

16 Tries (9th in SL)
21 Try Assists (7th in SL)
117 Tackle Busts (5th in SL)
18 Clean Breaks (12th in SL)

Not too shabby for a one trick pony.

And he missed 7 league fixtures with injury. On an average per game basis he’d be top or certainly in the top 3 in each area. I remember around MOS time looking at his try and assist figures compared to French and Welsby and he beat both pretty comfortably on that average per game basis.

I think he’s the best fullback in Superleague. I’ve said many times I think Welsby would be a better stand off than fullback and obviously French is at stand off now. Maybe both are better players but as a fullback nobody touches Field IMO.

Jack Welsby

Tries 12 (4 less than field)
Try assists 27 (2nd in SL)
130 tackle busts (1st in SL)
24 clean breaks (5th in SL)

There is a reason one is wanted in the NRL and the other is a one trick pony.

We were not discussing Jack. I believe that he needs to go and give the NRL a gig. Your statement was quite clear and the facts have proved you wrong yet again.

Or to put it in it's true perspective; every single stat of Welsby's, except clean breaks, is worse than Field's as Welsby played 29 games to Field's 23. In addition Field scored a third more tries than Welsby in significantly fewer games

Glad the NRL don't want our one trick pony, more than happy for him to keep doing his one trick for us for the next 4 years. Lovely stuff.

And who's to say that Welsby will end up with more NRL games than Field (or French)? That hasn't happened yet.

Not very nice, why you being so mean, it's only an opinion
