Wigan V Hull KR
Should be a cracker between the two form teams in SL - Over 16,000 tickets already sold
A battle between, for me, the best player in the league in Bevan French against the best English player in the league in Mikey Lewis – both brilliant players on their day
If Wigan pack dominate, as they did against Catalan, then the victory is theirs surely

Catalans had half a team sat in the stands last week. However this week aside we have full strength squad to pick from with the exception of O'Neill. Would you play Farrell and drop Walters and who would you play in the halves with Smith back bearing in mind Mikey Lewis is around

From what I gather, many supporters are not happy that Wigan are playing in a third choice charity shirt instead of their normal Cherry Red and White home shirts and Hull KR are playing in their home shirt of Red and White!

If you had bothered to read my comment corrrectly like a sensible person, I only said that some supporters were not happy about the shirt change and did not say anything about my opinion.

Outplayed for 25 mins till the sin bin, second half same again,
Just shows how a ref can change a game and the result,

TWO controversial SIN BIN decisions. First Wigan try..was a forward pass and when the ball was placed down it was touching the touch line. Check the replays.. Guess where the Referee was from???? WIGAN How many times these days are Wigan games officiated by Wigan officials?????The game is corrupt.

I was under the impression that in Rugby league the Home Team had preference or am i wrong , if so Hull KR should have changed thier shirts .
AS FOR YOU ADMIN .
My what a short memory you have already forgot the debacle at headingly when a Wigan forward was sent off against guess who ?
Hull K R , WHICH was not a sending off incident should have been a yellow card , and the crappy yorkshire men went to wembley against Leigh . ( and lost)
SO please stop scriking, wigan have had thier fair share of dubios decisions , Also as for the referee selection surely you are not blaming that on WIGAN r,u???? The RUGBY LEAGUE COUNCIL DICIDE THAT DONT THEY?? ALSO I could fill this web site of injustices that went against WIGAN but i will refrain Becuase it's sport just move on. I do note you have nothing to say about the shoulder in DUPREES' FACE ???
Have a nice day !

blatent kick into touch by burgess & scrum given to hull kr & burgess rightly sin binned for a flop after the tackle was complete & leading with the shoulder to the head yet another rightly sin bin offence . that ref gave wigan very little & even with 12 men it still needs the other team to capitalize .

GB - Wigan chose to play in their third kit on Friday, which supports the ‘Brick Charity’ hence KR were able to don their home strip – and nothing controversial about either sin-bin decisions – both correct
Brilliant game with great comeback by Wigan mastered by French; just a pity we’ve not got an equally good scrum half to play alongside him

wot do you think of farrimond wigvet ? .
Replied: 8th Sep 2024 at 23:51
The problem at Wigan is that they now have two good scrum haves in Smith and Farrimond, but the decision on who is the best to fill the position rests with Matt Peet and his coaching staff irrespective of any opinion of we supporters.
Evidently, they are happy with the present holder of the number seven position!

With the number of top referees and who are also acting as touch judges now in the game, there is no reason why a match or video referee of today should in charge of any game involving their home town club.
The reason iy is happeninng is because of former referee Steve Ganson moaning about not getting a cup final at Wembley when Saints were in a number of finals at the time he was refereeing.
