About 22,000 at Hull yesterday n’all.Good to see such a big crowd at the Wigan/Saints game today. Just over 24000. They got value for money with that one.
Think he was unconscious for a number of minutes. Very serious! But he was supposed to be up and alert last night.Brutal game. Those forwards are so fit these days. When I first started watching half of them were big fatties.
Wigan deserved to win. Hope the Saints guy who got stretchered off is ok. Looked in quite a bad way.
When you go to a super league game you can hear the shuddering impact of a hard tackle . More often than not the receiving player just gets up , contact sport at its best ! Yesterday,s derby at the DW was relentless and even with the fantastic full house atmosphere you could almost hear every crunching tackle .Think he was unconscious for a number of minutes.

These lads really are men of steel. I wish football was as honest-tough as rugby league. Imagine how good footy would be if there was no rolling around pretending to be injured!
I remember watching a Manly game where Steve Matai dislocated his shoulder and was still playing on getting back in the defensive line and tackling with the other shoulder as he said he didn’t want to let his teammates down by going off at that point in the game.
Yes it’s brutal at times. Wire v Wigan next Friday should be a good one.When you go to a super league game you can hear the shuddering impact of a hard tackle .
