You know what I mean though.



Rucking, mauling, lineouts and all the methods and techniques that go with that crap.

Take it you've never played Union properly then.

Ummmm how many more are there? Not sure today's crop of "Wigan RL Greats" is going to be in demand

or saints' lot

Learning from the tactical master............Noble ???????????

Well he may have been there trying to take notes on what not to do i guess.

I agree !



Robinson had no tactical play whatsoever.



In fact, most of the time I don't think he even knew himself what he was going to do with the ball.

Thus far the evidence would suggest more than Saints can produce.



I can't follow this up with a playful wink because I don't see the funny side of our next batch of youngsters now being targeted, while other clubs - those few who actually produce youngsters - seem to lead a charmed life.

Good luck to him, he is a top guy.



He will be succesful and then come to us

Without wanting to make an anti Wigan point, it seems that players like the fabled Sam (I personally have no idea how good he is, or isn't) are being stifled at the club, with few, or no opportunities. Were he at Saints or Leeds, he would likely get more opportunity? It is wise therefore, for union clubs to target the Wigan youngsters ahead of other clubs, because they are far more likely to be disenchanted in the first place, and are therefore easier pickings? Plus, the dressing room unhappiness that is talked about on here, being boo'd by your own speccies, and the lack of any real prospect of silverware must make talented kids think seriously about going to pastures new.

Pemps and all, Jason has the 2007 England World Cup forwards coach looking after his pack, and he didn't do too badly.

He is a fiercely driven individual, as my mrs found out when she asked him a daft question once.

I wish him well, my only fear is that his own high standards may upset others, though it has to be said, Shaun Edwards has got over that issue!
