Wigan Warriors • v HKR and Catalan

What I will say is that I hope we leave it at that now with Welsby. He has hopefully learned a lesson and realised going all Jake Connor won’t do him any favours and by the same token, we won’t benefit from keep getting distracted. I think there was an element of Smith and Smithies winding up a lad I presume is a mate. Those 3 will have played plenty of junior rugby together and in particular they had that England academy series together against the Aussies, so I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a problem that could go really deep and start impacting the national side in future years. The characters in your side and ours seem more sensible than some of the guys in those Leeds and Saints teams (Bailey, Long, Graham, Senior etc were all a bit nuts).
