I'll be in France for both of the games, but not in the same area so can't go and watch. Likely I will have to rely on Wigan TV / Sky and a VPN to see anything. Shame, cos I'd love to have gone.

Many think that a stern test awaits the Wire this week as we return from foreign fields to face the more established French side a team full of 'grandes unites'.
Plenty to test Powell's coaching skills this week. Apart from size (obviously) not mattering our opponents do have plenty of big game players but who will come out on top, the lovable Tomkins and Mickey Mac and Co or will The Wire prove to be "the finest in the land"?

Well a wins a win I suppose and if it wasn't for the last minute antics of old ' Hollaback Girl' himself the margin might have seemed more predictable.
a) Score and Winning team Toulouse 18 v 32 Warrington
b) First try (Wire player) King
c) Time of first try 8 mins
d) Last try (any team player not time) Stefani
e) Kicks over the sticks (combined) 7 kicks

Only 2 games for the club now in the next 34 days, so plenty of time for Coleman to firstly be given some new targets/KPIs by the boss.
1. Fitness. Again we've capitulated at the end of a game....this needs addressing.
2. Tactics. From what I've read, Coleman likes defence work and we do seem fairly robust there, but it would seem that all that early tackling comes back to bite us in the last 20. Fitness I've mentioned, but why not work on early offence too?
3. We need a half and we need a mongrel forward. Читать дальше...

Before trying to sully the name of super leagues most successful team, maybe do some due diligence. If you had, you would have found out it was the away fans, ergo super leagues scruffiest fans, Wakefield, who started it. Picking on families is Wakefield hall mark

Jesse Marche will be confirmed as new manager tomorrow.
Some more information on his tactics. He's similar in style to Ralph Ragnik

He certainly talks a good game, but we'll see if he can handle the step up.

Last year after we signed him there were a few who were relaying stories about their mates watching him in a game saying he was blowing out his backside after 10mins etc in a particular game leading to IMO a stereotypical assessment of him as a player of that heritage. My mate watched the same game, and said he did 60mins (in fact he'd played the whole of the 1st half I believe) and that He will go "Just fine" for Wigan.
I struggled to see past his hairdo, but then I’m shallow

Not a very helpful headline generated from a manager who's failed to win for 15 matches. Especially as two of the players yesterday clearly caused a gouge near the sideline!

I was banned from total years ago for predicting that the game in the UK was shrinking to the extent that it would end up with smaller income streams. I suggested league copy unions model and stop letting the tail wag the dog (clubs run the game)
I was branded a union troll by the majority and banned due to complaints received.
Fast forward and we're exactly where I said we'd be.....with maybe 5 or 6 clubs running the game, no international structure and finding being reduced from bottom up. Читать дальше...

One thing I'd like to see is the journalists actually asking Agar hard questions in his press conferences. I know they all want access, but if its at the expense of soft-soap nonsense its a waste of time. It doesn't need to be aggressive, but asking him what he's actually going to do to fix things would seem to be standard. Instead we get 'another hard day Rich?' or throwing him questions which can be used to excuse rubbish without any pressing as to what 'watching the tapes' will achieve that hasn't already happened...

Putin forget Russia’s own recent history during the Second World War. The Russians like all individuals will fight harder when the war is taking place on your homeland. They themselves suffered severe atrocities and hardship but unlike the occupying force they had the resolve to see if through with arms supplied by the allies.
Ukraine could fall to Russia but not until they have a very bloody fight. The question will become do the Russian people have his resolve when the dead and wounded are returned,

Just had a look at the tickets sold, and it looks really poor, if ticketco is correct it will be around 500 max. Bradford don't look to be bringing many down either
