Still clocking off after building a lead though #-o That's a coach killer.
They held out against Saints in Cardiff & the lack of creativity from the Bulls made it look fairly easy. Twice kicks close to the line by Bradford defeated what was a solid defence.This will NOT have gone un-noticed by Bennett & I'm guessing the Dragons will try that on,(if their fingers n toes thaw out :P )

DW is slightly more 'player friendly' as it has undrerground heating for the pitch.

That would be a huge event if held in Melbourne.
There's a Storm brewing in Melbourne and it's forecast to hit Sydney on October 2

Go (the) Wigan (Storm), although disappointing that Lima got suspended and that Finchy is injured. I hate the Dragons and wouldn't support them if they were the last team on the planet. Even supported Roosters (my second most hated team) in Grand Final.

Thank goodness for Fox Sports, Channel None have the game on at midnight on Tuesday night.

Been an un confirmed rumour for a month & made 'official' Tuesday 8)
Wigan Today - Cross Joins Wigan
Sadly a LOT of Wigan fans are not happy ?
They judge Ben on performances at Leeds.
Then again.............................
They also under rated Hoffy - Jeff & Finchy
They've spent so long under shit coaches & part time imports that they haven't realised there's little difference betwixt Wigan RL culture of old & Storm culture of the 21st century,(It's in our players blood :twisted: )

edited for accuracy :evil:

Their fans feel cheated twice.First by the guy who went belly up & now by their new owner who had rubbery figures in the franchise application that didn't stand up to close inspection.Wakefield Trinity are VERY lucky !! No matter how badly they play they are safe for the next three years ::)
