On side off side we were pretty good on sat, looks like it's something they have put a lot of effort into, it was wigan who were off the line too quick a few times. Disappointingly we are still getting caught not square at marker a fair bit but thats also a lot yo do with speed opposition are regaining there feet, incorrect PTB is unforgivable though, we have been caught in all our games doing that. It's not hard, if in doubt touch it with the foot

While I don't disagree with you NB, it is why Referees need to be consistent not only game to game, but within game too. From the Broncos games this season & others, that has not been the case. People may disagree, but I thought the best refereed game for us this season was at Hull where the difference in the teams was the least. Big clubs, just as in football, tend not to be penalised to the same extent as there lesser colleagues.

The only way to slow the ptb down is to dominate the tackle and others have said, we look too small to handle some of the northern behemoths. Can't fault the backroom for effort with a 4.5k average 2 games in and a lot of promo for the St Patrick's day game....currently it looks like FC, Castleford and Possibly Leigh are the home games where we stand a chance....but so far it's gone as well knew it would yet we all seem pretty upbeat.

Good that the club is ( finally ) doing something but a £90 meal deal in the lounge for St Patrick's might be a bit rich for a lot of folk, especially in the current financial climate.
Think I'll stick with standard admission and a pizza.

Re: Wigan - home : Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:13 am  

To be fair they are offering two different lounge options, the 90£ one is the full sit down meal, the normal lounge with buffet still available, still £49 so not cheap.

Sounds like some of the London Irish fans I know.
They have their priorities sorted!
