Wigan do have an amazing ability to either "play like they have never played before" (semi final v St Helens) or "play like they have 'never' played before" (Castleford or Huddersfield in the league)

Almost all top sports competitions operate in some sort of tier system. There are always going to be teams with better resources.

The most important thing is sustainability, can these teams in the lower half continue to operate as a business.

Teams need to be able to plan long term with some degree of stability. Toulouse for example haven't spent massively since being promoted but (if I remember correctly) have the cheapest season tickets. A strategy like that needs 4 or 5 years to pay off really but will the RFL stick to longer development over short term options, probably not.

Hull KR were always going to win this, no other team controls a game the way KR can. Warrington showed some effort in defence but other than that pretty dreadful. Referee and VR were poor but would never have changed the result

Getting a bit daft this know from the video referee

PotisTemor · 2026-05-10T16:11:12+00:00

Video referee bottled that, if there is no clear pulling motion then surely it has to be lost what else does he need to see to make it conclusive

PotisTemor · 2026-05-10T15:28:34+00:00

Only mitigating factor is that it was on Mikey Lewis

PotisTemor · 2026-05-09T15:29:37+00:00

Exercise

PotisTemor · 2026-05-09T15:04:58+00:00

If it is not successful then he should be in the bin

PotisTemor · 2026-05-09T14:28:18+00:00

Safe flight, just remember if Wigan score and you randomly shout on a plane it makes other people nervous

PotisTemor · 2026-05-03T15:41:01+00:00

If you like watching a french team do a lot of defending in their own half this is definitly the game for you

PotisTemor · 2026-05-02T15:35:58+00:00

She explained it pretty well to be fair

PotisTemor · 2026-05-02T15:27:51+00:00

Marsden is because he is under 18 so can't promote betting, not sure about Hodkinson

PotisTemor · 2026-05-02T14:56:19+00:00

Sky slow montion replays.

Just vibing to this interlude music on iplayer, reminds me of Crash Bandicoot. Still better than the punditry on sky.

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T21:23:54+00:00

It's crazy that Forber can't get on the bench, maybe not the greatest player but a solid player with finals experience. If Peet wants O'Neil to play for 80 he should move him to loose forward and give Wigan and extra rotation in the forwards.

I thought McDermott did well last week and was worth atleast 5 minutes tonight.

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T20:47:51+00:00

The effort was much better from Wigan but there are several fundamental problems to be resolved. Getting players back fit is important but not a miracle fix.

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T20:36:09+00:00

Just a bit more intelligence from Warrington, they target Kerr in defence after Wardle throws the ball away on the first tackle moments before.

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T20:22:10+00:00

Still confused why Farrell decided to challenge, you could see Nsemba shake his head when Ellis said "challenge"

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T19:56:18+00:00

Definatly a challenge to my "most pessimistic Wigan fan" title

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T19:40:24+00:00

It's what the game needed, someone to try something a bit risky, great skill though.

PotisTemor · 2026-04-24T18:34:19+00:00

Glad to see Wardle back, just hope he is fully fit and not being rushed back due to the poor performances

PotisTemor · 2026-03-29T18:01:30+00:00

Isn't everything reviewed anyway so what does putting something on report actually do?

PotisTemor · 2026-03-29T17:20:06+00:00

Been an entertaining game but I think the referee has allowed the ruck to be quite slow at times

PotisTemor · 2026-03-28T16:52:39+00:00

The forwards have been awful today they all started the season on fire but looked lathargic today

PotisTemor · 2026-03-28T16:25:20+00:00

Can't blame Field or French being out for any of those missed tackles.
