So here's the kind of schedule Wigan has at the start of this year:

Feb 7: UK season opener (in the newly renamed First Utilities Super League) v Huddersfield (a semi-traditional match between the league winners and GF winners)
Feb 12: Tune-up game/reunion with Sam Tomkins v NZ Warriors at Hamilton
Feb 22: World Club Challenge v Cunts at SFS
Mar 2: Home FU Super League game v Wakefield Trinity (they were supposed to also play at Widnes during their trip overseas, but that'll get rescheduled, likely during a Challenge Cup weekend)

And, as a British league fan, despite the fact that they're Wigan and all, I will be backing them to beat the Roosters, because they are the much lesser of two evils in this situation.

What a finish! Hilarious that so many missed goals decided it, especially with so many being from close to the posts.

Reading the Grauniad match report it says that there was some nasty swirling wind in Hull, made worse by the KC being an enclosed ground.

Also, here's the awesome Super League intro everyone was mourning the loss of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB0bGkNZpoA

edit: huh when did Souths sign Tuqiri?

Yeah, I thought he was heading back to union and a Irish team picked him up for depth/"veteran presence".

I can see where the confusion came from - Souths have such a high percentage of British players you just naturally assumed he'd moved to the UK.

I'm still counting down the days until they sign Ryan Hall.

Also, that was a halfway-decent try from St George.

Although I have a mild distaste towards Wigan, I am still supporting them today, because gently caress Easts.

Kevin Sinfield sent off for a headbutt :stare:. Never thought I'd see that.

It was deserved IMO, Huby or whoever got in a shouting match with Sinners and he just lashed out, totally out of character for him.

(Still a good match though, sloppy at times but fun)

That was close to a perfect start.

And close to a perfect reply from Sarginson/Hall.

Sarginson's concussed, Nightingale's busted open...this is proper test footy.

thanks a lot for killing a probable Lions Tour next year, NRL

What was Graham's problem at the end? I thought that it was a pretty obvious knock on.

His entire problem is being from Liverpool.
