We were in seating, after one of the second half tries, Pryce walking back, wiped his brow and said to the crowd " It's flipping hot" sure that's what he said

You mean there training drill?

Sorry, this is what I sort of meant at the time. Although not as in depth!



Drinking bit is true though, I remember Gary Neville talking about the effects taking days to clear.

Big Frank banned, what a joke! How FC how been punished is ridiculous.

Was looking forward to watching him play live

TBF you can see why he copped a ban. Unlikely we'd have won anyway so let's move on.

Gotta feeling we're gunna poop a party friday night

Frank or no frank

Should have let Frank off for doing his bit for the International game.

I'd like to think our pack will trample all over the grimy b'stards but you just know it will be the tomkins show, we'll get penalised to death and they'll be able to do what they want all night. childs or cobb probably reffing for them

thaler is the ref

was in charge of the game vs wigan at the kcom earlier and allowed wigan to slow the ptb right down, i fear he will do the same again

Bound to. can't ruin sam's return

But he is the best ref of the lot we have

i think hicks is atm from games ive seen him ref

Thaler the ref? Penalty fest then, loves that whistle of his.

Send our forwards after O'loughlin early doors and he'll be off for a medic check on a bruised ego, don't get sucked into their slow game just hit them with everything and hit them hard and we can do them.

Ah right, apologies.

After how quick we played the ball last week Wigan will be doing everything to slow it down Thaler needs to be strong

It will be quite obvious if he's letting them spoil the ptb, and if he does we should make official representation to the RFL. Let's hope it doesn't happen and Thaler referees according to the rules.

I'm sure some fans don't understand what goes on during a game, and only see their own team. If a team wins the collision/tackle they get to control the speed of the ptb. If it's the attacking team they get a quick ptb, if it's the defensive team they get the advantage and get a slow ptb. Sundays game Saints v Hull was a prime example, I'm sure you weren't complaining that Hull managed to slow the Saints ptb down, negating Roby completely.
I'm looking forward to Friday. In all games this season between the two clubs,1st team, U16 scholarship, U19 academy and reserves there has not been a winning margin of more than two points between the teams, and one drawn game.

Usual Wigan fan, condoning cheating, be it in the game or the salary cap.

Usual inane comment from Martin Standee Eastcosta Eastcoats Eastcoast, trying to provoke a reaction. Your posts are as insightful as they were pre-ban. I'm glad the moderators let you come back.

You're obviously one of those fans to whom I was referring. When you grow up you'll understand.

I was simply pointing out the rules are the rules, the ptb should surely be the same speed for both sides?

I was simply pointing out that the speed of the ball is controlled by who wins the ruck/tackle, and the rule is the same for both sides, as was shown on Sunday. Saints ptb was far slower than Hulls but that was because Hull were winning the tackle both offensively and defensively. I don't expect Wigan will allow Hull that advantage so easily on Friday, but we'll see.

Is that really in the rule book??
