Spring is coming, clocks are going forward, the 6 Nations wankfest is finally over and Super League is back.

Leigh are 18-8 up against Wigan at half time. Good game so far

Took me 5 minutes to realise that I had the teams around the wrong. Wigan were wearing purple . They are looking far from their best.

Enjoyed the Catalans game...

is The play the ball is Super League just a roll Now? Is that a new rule up there?

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

I’d class myself as the eternal optimist but I think our new coach needs to lie down in a dark room for a few hours.

He’s bang on the money in saying there is untapped talent in the county though

Could this be Catalans year? On the back of beating StHelens they’ve just hammered Wigan 48-0

I remember when Wigan were the powerhouse of League in the late 80's early 90's, great memories of watching them with all their kiwi's

Them were days ...

RL in England was strong then.
It was such a shame that the GB side couldn’t win a series over the Kangaroos, despite having legends in their teams such as Hanley, Offiah, Edwards, Gregory, Schofield , Davies, Morley, Farrell etc.,

Actually Denis Betts was a very talented player, especially for Wigan and the Chooms. Not the Warriors though, he came here for the money.

They have been the powerhouse of English Rugby League more often than that. They have been down sometimes too, and it sounds like it now too.

Central Park is now a supermarket car park, god is a Wigan fan. He will get those bastards who did that. Some people have no respect for tradition and history. Central Park was the Carlaw Park of the north.

Don't talk about Carlaw Park, it will make me cry and i'm not even a Aucklander, Carlaw Park was the spiritual home of League. Shame the kids now days won't know what i'm talking about.

 

[Sky Waka]

Ata Hingano has signed for Salford for the rest of the season. If he and Tui get to play together a bit, Tonga could prove to be even more dangerous come the world cup.

I think natually I have mixed feeling about that.

Sad to see Bill Tupou stretchered off today. Looked to be a serious knee injury...

Out for the season

Knowing Wakefield there is a chance that they'll now sign Billy's former teammate , Des White.

 

[Wigan Warrior]

15 months I have waited to watch a live game of rugby. I'll be honest....when Wigan walked out I shed a tear.

Wish we were still in lockdown

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Inglis is out for the season and presumably that’s his career over
