[TheParraboy]

parraboy,
if you don't mind because i will be unable to watch this match.
can you please just give me and overview on how tim went tomorrow at some stage?
cheers!

no worries bud

 

[Eelementary]

better that than a three minute preview on milfhunter?

You must be thinking of Phillips...Who is a legend btw.

And no - 1 good game in a year is not better than that. That's Finch-like in terms of quality.

Here's hoping too, but more for his sake. If he doesn't perform his career is probably done and dusted dare I say it.

 

[lewiscook]

no worries bud

bloody legend

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Say what you will about him, but we were always able to score points when he was our halfback.

 

[Phillips]

i'd love to see him come back.
but yeah time to get over it and off his cawk

 

[eelz47]

where is this game on tonight?

 

[bartman]

My guide says Salford v Hull Ch9 at midnight, delayed telecast.

Wigan v Wakefield is not a Sky UK game to my knowledge, so will probably not be broadcast into Australia. Don't know if NZ gets better Superleague coverage than us though...

[FUIFUI_MOIMOI]

All games to my knowledge. I pay per game which means i pay for the game i want to watch. However, i have never purchased any other then the wigan games.

 

[bartman]

Cheers. If you get to see all the Wigan ones, then it must be a stream for all games, not just the UK broadcast ones.

Mmm, I'm waiting for the Salford v Hull game myself. I've been takening note of Thorman actually.

I remember watching him play for the London Broncos or Harlequins as they're now known in 2003 (the year before we signed him) and he was killing it over there. Thought we bought a great prospect for 2004, however it wasn't to be. Would have liked to have seen him stay on and actually play behind a quality forward pack. He had a good passing game and long kicking game but was probably a reflection of how our side was performing in 2004.

He has been in good form for Hull, while not outstanding, his kicking game as been good, applying a lot of pressure and forcing repeat sets.

I actually wouldn't have minded seeing how the 2005 side would have performed with:

6) Thorman
7) Smith

 

[Phillips]

our 04 halves should have been

6. Witt
7. Thorman

 

[ianlovesparra]

Crucial contributions from their two newest talents won a game for Wigan that some of their more senior players had seemed intent on throwing away.

Shaun Ainscough only played because George Carmont went down with tonsillitis, but his four tries made it a total of 16 less than halfway through an astonishing debut season.
Sam Tomkins played more of a cameo role, but it was two exciting, instinctive runs from him that set up the tries which made the difference.
"He has superb prowess," said Brian Noble of Ainscough, the young winger. "But he is a work in progress."
That progress looked rapid indeed at Belle Vue. After Cameron Phelps had equalised Damien Blanch's opening try, Ainscough scored twice to give Wigan a 10-point lead. Both Wigan tries came from fine passes from Tim Smith, preferred to Tomkins in the line-up.
Wakefield began their fightback with a Danny Brough penalty – one of far too many that Wigan conceded. The visitors then made the first of their glaring errors, Pat Richards giving the ball away for Brough to score.
Martin Gleeson did the same thing 10 minutes later. Fortunately for Wigan, in between those two blemishes Ainscough completed his hat-trick on the end of a flowing move.
"Some of our execution was excellent, but we gave them every opportunity to beat us and we'll have to be a lot better in two weeks' time," said Noble, referring to the Challenge Cup tie between the clubs.
The ration for the second half began with Blanch – later to go off with a serious knee injury – outjumping Ainscough to force down Brough's kick. That put the Wildcats back in front, but they lost the lead when Phelps scored a soft try, latching on to a Smith kick.
Ironically, for a game filled with such hectic attacking action, it swung on one spell of convincing defence from the visitors, keeping out three sets of tackles on their own line.
Having survived that, Tomkins' superb run set up the position for Ainscough's fourth and another foray through a tiring defence prepared the way for Gleeson's clincher.
Wakefield: Blaymire; Blanch, S Gleeson, Atkins, Grix; Martin, Brough; Wilkes, Drew, Snitch, Pitts, Ferguson, Demetriou. Substitutes used: Sculthorpe, Obst, Henderson, Moore.
Wigan: Richards; Roberts, M Gleeson, Phelps, Ainscough; Smith, Leuluai; Fielden, Riddell, Coley, Hock, Bailey, O'Loughlin. Substitutes used: Paleaaesina, J Tomkins, Prescott, S Tomkins.
Referee: B Thaler (Castleford).

Go TIMMY

Go TIMMY

Remember Wakefield are a quality side well above Wigan on the ladder

 

[ianlovesparra]

Noble's selection had already been fully justified by the controlling performance of Tim Smith, the Australian who has replaced him in the starting team.
Smith directed the attack for four tries down Wakefield's hapless right flank, with Cameron Phelps scoring the first before Ainscough claimed a hat-trick in 18 minutes. Wigan, however, continued to make sloppy errors that kept Trinity in the game.
