Re: Super league
 

You must be quite confident of a victory though.:)

Re: Super league
 

More worried about injuries to be honest

Re: Super league
 

Yes they always seem to be a neverending problem in a very tough sport.

Re: Super league
 

Catalan have some pretty big players and you just have to look at there last game to see they will throw there weight around.

Re: Super league
 

Warrington Wolves battle to win over Catalan Dragons to go top of the table and what a battle it was and included 2 players being yellow carded for fighting :).

Now need to see if there are injuries on the back of the game.

Re: Super league
 

Well at least you won at the end of the day but yes its always a worry about injuries being sustained in such a tough match.

Re: Super league
 

RFL enforce shoulder charge ban.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/r...180124702.html

Definitely the right decision.

Re: Super league
 

Dam right it is :tu:

Re: Super league
 

Beers on you tonight then.:beer::beer::beer:

Re: Super league
 

Yep i am one big happy fan tonight :)

Re: Super league
 

What happened today Sirius? :)

Couple of big shocks, nearly a third in our game which sounded like a cracker! Castleford hitting the post with a drop goal attempt when the scores were level, only for us to go down the other end and score.

Re: Super league
 

Yes the great man has suddenly gone very quiet.:bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

Sorry not been to well over the weekend, i did listen to Warringtons game on the radio and it did should like they did not bother to turn up. :mad:

They better play better on Friday against the saints. At least Wigan turned up for there game. :)

Re: Super league
 

Sorry to hear that you have not been well Sirius and l do hope you feel better soon and hopefully a win on Friday will cheer you up.

Re: Super league
 

My arthritis flared up at the weekend so i was on a cloud at 50000 feet because of my pain killers, my arthritis is getting more and more of a hindrance to be honest :(.

However i am feeling much better today :)

Re: Super league
 

Just back from the Warrington v Saints game and i have to say thats not the Warrington i know. They need a good kick up the backside from Smith. :mad:

Re: Super league
 

Yes they are certainly struggling so far this season but alas l am sure it will come right for your team.

Re: Super league
 

I do hope so.

Re: Super league
 

Oh dear.:tiptoe::tiptoe:

Re: Super league
 

Indeed what happened then ?

At least some good news for the Wolves who ran in eight tries in a 46-4 rout of Salford

http://www.skysports.com/rugbyleague...575839,00.html

Re: Super league
 

Yes l used a whole box of tissues last night in deep sufference.:bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

It seems that hope is in short supply today dear chap.:D

Re: Super league
 

Some interesting results today, thats for sure :)

Re: Super league
 

I am having one of those weekends :bigcry:

How can Warrington play well against Huddersfield and then let Widnes beat them.

Maybe Widnes have some of Hocks favourite items now he's playing for them :LOL:

Re: Super league
 

Oh well, not one to gloat but.............https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2013/03/12.jpg

Re: Super league
 

You must be a happy bunny today Sirius.:)

Re: Super league
 

Looking good for Wigan today and good old Siruis can even put his tissues away for the weekend as well.:D

Re: Super league
 

Depends how we go :)

Re: Super league
 

And its going badly :(

Re: Super league
 

Perhaps a new coach is required.;)

Re: Super league
 

Try a new team :mad:

Re: Super league
 

Now is the time for steady nerves and faith.:)

Re: Super league
 

BBC to show live coverage of 2013 Rugby League World Cup.


http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22090001


Lets hope we can do better then in the previous World Cup's.

Re: Super league
 

Some interesting news from Wigan today, Andy Powell in from Sale, Sean Long joining the coaching staff and Lee Mossop joining Parramatta at the end of the season along with Gareth Hock.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22250876

Not sure about Long joining the coaching staff!

Re: Super league
 

You can always ask him for betting tips :)

---------- Post added at 21:48 ---------- Previous post was at 21:47 ----------

Must admit this has not made my day, there coverage of the challenge cup is well below par so i expect the rugby League world cup to be the same.

Re: Super league
 

Indeed because as we are increasingly seeing the BBC's sports coverage is a shadow of what it was.

Re: Super league
 

http://www.superleague.co.uk/article...ford-city-reds


Oh dear

Re: Super league
 

They are in big trouble now.

Re: Super league
 

Indeed.

Its a shame as well because they played there hearts out in that game.

Re: Super league
 

Some excellent games over the weekend. I realised yesterday we are already half way through the season.

Re: Super league
 

Yes its amazing how the weeks fly by when you are winning.;)

Re: Super league
 

As you are well aware ;), the season is not won till the last game is played :LOL:

Re: Super league
 

Yes l am well aware old boy and alas the tissues are still in the cupboard if still needed.:bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

Not a bad game to finish off the magic weekend. Pat Richards is a machine!

Re: Super league
 

There was some excellent games this weekend and some bad video ref decisions.

Re: Super league
 

Yes there was some very enjoyable stuff but alas its those referees again.

Re: Super league
 

That was a nice win for you yesterday Sirius.:D

Re: Super league
 

It was indeed, i am now looking forward to the game in 2 weeks between Warrington and Wigan :)

Re: Super league
 

Yes it should be very interesting but don't forget the tissues just in case.;)

Re: Super league
 

You have needed them far more than me lately and after that performance against Widnes i think you need to be very worried.;)

Re: Super league
 

Oh please great one take it easy on my beloved Wigan.:Yikes::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

:LOL:

Re: Super league
 

I am so hoping tonights game will go well for England

http://www.skysports.com/rugbyleague...590320,00.html

Teams as follows

Re: Super league
 

Yes it will be interesting to see how many make a impact.

Re: Super league
 

Tonight's game between Warrington and Wigan is being classed as the game of the year. I will be going to this game and the atmosphere is going to be out of this world. The 2 teams are too close to separate and ether can win on the night.

Warrington Wolves: Atkins, Briers, Carvell, Cooper, Currie, Grix, Higham, Hill, Hodgson, McCarthy, J. Monaghan, M. Monaghan, Morley, Myler, Ratchford, C. Riley, Waterhouse, Westwood, Wood.

Wigan Warriors: Burke, Charnley, Crosby, Farrell, Gelling, Goulding, Hansen, Hughes, Lauaki, Lloyd, Mossop, Powell, Richards, Smith, Spencer, S. Tomkins, L. Tomkins, Tuson, Williams.


Come on the Wires :D

Re: Super league
 

Yes l will be keeping a close eye on it as l am travelling later today.

Re: Super league
 

It doesn't matter so much to us, we still have a 3 point lead at the top of the table if we lose :p:

Re: Super league
 

Oh but it does as l want Siruis to tuck into his new box of tissues.:bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

Keep dreaming :LOL:

Re: Super league
 

Just got to the ground and its filling up already :shocked:

Re: Super league
 

Some more dodgy ref decisions going for Warrington again ;)

Re: Super league
 

You are joking the ref has sponsored by wigan on his shirt

Re: Super league
 

l see you have your rose tinted glasses on again old bean.

Re: Super league
 

Even though we lost that was an excellent game, best of the season so far. I really hope this will be the grand final, i think with a full strength team we will do that lot ;)

Re: Super league
 

:bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

Yep i agree fully it would make an entertaining grand final, however lets have a better ref that can make a decision instead of always using the ruddy screen.



Den you best keep those tissues for now i think you need them more than me ;).

Re: Super league
 

Its the final the sport needs. Not Leeds turning up for the last 3 games of the season again and winning it again. Wigan and Warrington are, and have been the best 2 sides in super league for the past few years, deep down its the final everyone wants and on tonights evidence will be the best spectacle.

I still don't understand how the league can't get a sponsor, anyone watching tonights game would have been blown away, it was an amazing 80 minutes of sport.

Re: Super league
 

I agree fully, i was in the ground and it was stunning to watch. The atmosphere was superb and the 2 sets of fans chanted there hearts out for the full 80 Min's. I will have no voice in the morning from all the shouting i did at the useless ref. :)

I do hope that we have a Warrington V Wigan grand final and if it is and you go we can always meet up for a pint beforehand.

Re: Super league
 

Thanks buddy but l will send them to you by pigeon post if required next time.;)

Re: Super league
 

I see Briers has not been called up by the RFL for his illegal shoulder charge on Farrell. Not only do Warrington get away with it all the time on the pitch, they get away with it afterwards as well ;)

Re: Super league
 

Super League to be cut to 12 teams from 2015 season

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/23264272

What are your thoughts on this lads?.

Re: Super league
 

I have been saying for a while now we need to go to 12 and bring back promotion and relegation. I also feel they should move to two divisions of 12 with promotion and relegation not the one that splits to 3.

Re: Super league
 

Saints V Wigan

O dear :shocked:

Will now watch your game on Saturday a little bit more closely

Re: Super league
 

Damn it l need those tissues again.:bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

I have it on good authority from a friend who works at the Saints ground that Shaun Wayne was shouting that loud at halftime they could hear him in the Saints dressing room. :LOL:

Re: Super league
 

Lets see how the pies perform against a real team tonight. :LOL:

Re: Super league
 

Plenty of time to go yet old bean so keep your excitement in.:D

Re: Super league
 

the pies are panicking :)

No way was that a forward pass.

Re: Super league
 

The ref has been **** so far

Re: Super league
 

Dam right he has.

Re: Super league
 

Levels you devils at half time.

Re: Super league
 

Bit of a difference this week ;)

Re: Super league
 

Yes the end result was different.;):cleader:

Re: Super league
 

That's what happens when you play real teams, you don't get 70-0 score's

I so hope our teams get to meet each other before the end of the season ;)

Re: Super league
 

We'll will meet again as Vera Lynn sang so beautifully all those years ago.:)

Re: Super league
 

So does that mean Wigan can no longer win the hub cap

Re: Super league
 

Sadly it was a poor performance last night and one l hope l don't see again.:(:(:bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Super league
 

Sorry but it was a performance that was against a team slightly higher than the Bronco's :LOL:.

I found it to be a thrilling game worth watching and both teams played there all.

Re: Super league
 

Oh dear Sirius....


:D

Re: Super league
 

Well you win some and you lose some, you lot know all about that ;)

To be honest it does not really matter has the Giants had the hub cap sawn up anyway.

Re: Super league
 

Oh dear thy season has just got worse then it was before.:D:waving:

Re: Super league
 

Well you know all to well what its like when you play Widnes on there good days ;)

Re: Super league
 

Not at home with them down to 12 men for most of the game though :)

Re: Super league
 

So what happened to your lot then, They don't like playing good teams do they

Maybe they need to make sure you lot only play the bronco's in future :)

You better be on your best next week against Hull because they are certainly better than Catalan.

http://www.skysports.com/rugbyleague...575971,00.html

I wonder if they could hear Shaun Wane screaming at his players again at half time again

Re: Super league
 

Saving ourselves for the important games mate :)

Re: Super league
 

Indeed and silverware at the end of it.:)

Re: Super league
 

Same as us. ;)
