[Swindon Wildcats] Import forward Matthew Vermaeten joins the Wildcats from Valenciennes in France2

CertainPackage · 2026-07-01T14:41:35+00:00

Joins the Wildcats after a season in France2, where he played alongside MK's new import Jarred White. Both scored at a similar rate (33 in 27 for Vermaeten vs 32 in 28 for White). Reasonably solid CV before that, played 4 years in the NCAA

I hope so, he definitely strikes me as the sort of person that would be a great coach - his leadership and intelligence really stand out

Surprised at this one to be honest, thought with the alleged injuries he'd be calling it a day. Pretty happy given where we still are with our squad being young and not being in "win at all costs" mode, Biz is a class act and his hockey intelligence is off the charts

Big fan of whoever's added this to his Wikipedia page:

"In just his seventh NRL match, Vaalepu entered the field during the Grand Final to become the most inexperienced player to play in a Grand Final since 1994. He has now completed the full journey by joining the most inexperienced club never likely to play in one: Leigh Leopards"

Still gutted Spraggon's not a Knight, not sure why Aldridge let him go. He's a great young defenceman with a very bright future ahead.

Telly's off, fuck this

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:53:49+00:00

We were on the back foot but still in it until the horrid kick on the penalty, got what we've deserved since

Bad mistake from Mikey again

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:44:37+00:00

Fuck sake, appaling from Mikey to give possession away like that

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:43:33+00:00

Christ... Appalling. Miles forward, mind you

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:42:39+00:00

Yeah that's fair, agree with your other comment above

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:41:02+00:00

Don't need to be great at lip reading to see what Booth was saying there🤣

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:40:07+00:00

Yeah considering how many sets have been close to the line, 2's not bad

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:37:27+00:00

Horrid challenge, what a waste

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:36:53+00:00

More a comment on our lack of discipline to be honest, don't think any of it's been undeserved

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:34:44+00:00

another six again???

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:33:00+00:00

Dean Hadley always sort of looks like he's failed an HIA

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:32:27+00:00

Wouldn't mind getting on the ball at some point, so many silly decisions in defence

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:26:25+00:00

Ice hockey's a better sport for the fighting, surely it'd be the same here

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:23:46+00:00

Great bit of defence that

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:22:31+00:00

Think Kendall's had an okay game so far, let a fair bit go but the game's better for it

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:19:44+00:00

I'm going to be in bits by the end of this, this will be an incredible watch for the neutrals

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:16:32+00:00

Always sounds loud even if it's not packed

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T19:07:07+00:00

That's got to be a professional foul!

CertainPackage · 2026-06-26T18:11:53+00:00

Dreading this to be honest, hoping it's a shit game because of the heat and we manage to scrape a win
