I agree. Bench impact doesn't exist at our club I don't think. But they are (and I'm not pointing this out as a dig) a Grand Final winning pack and currently top of the table so they must be making up for the lack of a impact leader by being a proper good solid unit!



For me it's a no loss move for Wigan. If he turns out poor we can afford to drop him because he is only a short term signing. If he plays well then you cannot substitute for experience of having won an NRL Grand Final and played a couple of origin games. If he's does as well as Quentin Pongia did in his short stint here I'll be delighted!

thing is about Benjamin W, and all the other hits we're doing at the moment, no other pack is standing up to us, that hit that he did on Keith M last week, not only did he put him on his westwood was up on the ball and as Keith was up and walking back he got an arm in the throat, from Benjamin who was prepared for retribution of some kind, what did keith do, mouthed off slightly and went and got back in teh defensive line.



Likewise versus Saints RL the other week, our captain Adrian did that high tackle on Louis M-S, and what did the Saints RL players do? all.



you'd expect Joel T to do so, but he's not hiding and trying to bully three quarters now.

Secretly play with a transferable blood disease?

But again, i hark back to last year, Jeffrey L was being hyped up to be the scary enforcer that the wigan pack was lacking last year, hasn't happened, but, you can't deny its an efficient and effective set of forwards that gets the job done.

Again it wasn't a criticism, like i said they are all solid and do a job but none of them have a fear factor, in fact the hardest hitter you have is Thomas L a hooker/scrum half, Benjamin Cross is/should be the nutter, especially when he faces up against his mate at Saints if you play them in the PO.

If he plays as well as Quentin Pongia did, thats fine by me! None of my business!

I seem to recall Scott Moore coming on and putting it about that was the time of the game you team went into hiding and crumbled



We are not a massive pack but out forwards get very quick play the balls something which yours doesn't

you really do make yourself look stupid sometimes.

We don't play the ball quick?

Please tell me your saying when Moore come on and ruffed it up the game didn't change?

I didn't say that i said 'our forwards get a quicker play the ball than yours' due to their size



Mossop atm is bouncing up off the deck and teams are getting punished for it

the first bit is true, i had forgotten about that, but it was scott moore and only scott moore who had a ten minute purple patch, lewis maccarena scarisbrook was more interested in un screwing morley's head off, jimmy graeme was crying like a girl and god knows who else was out there.





the second bit is pure fantasy though.
