See how my post got merged into here wasn't about the game was about a player and not just on tonight mods are obviously blind to his rubbish aswell

For those who watched a lot of Golding as a kid, can I ask what his role in attack was?

Did he link in the line outwide or drift around the middle?
Was he mainly a running or passing fullback?

He just seems a little quiet in attack and wonder what his natural game is, not necessarily his fault as Hardaker often had similar problems

Ooh now I wonder who that can be ?

Yet another very competent performance from our new number 1 tonight..

.. But to see him celebrating at the final hooter, just on his own in the centre of the pitch, was great - what a show of passion and commitment he clearly has for the club.

I'm not doubting other players don't have the same but sometimes it's nice to be reminded the players feel it too.

Ferres' weight alone is quite considerable these days, he would've injured Gildart with or without Delaney's help.

From an outsider point of view can see this point. He isn't strong enough to make regular line breaks and doesn't make up for it being an extra link with hands. Personally think you would be better with surcliffe at full back although he looks to be a centre all over to my untrained eyes

Gildart made it worse with his leg drive forcing himself forward to gain extra yards in contact. I think Ferres new what he was doing but the contribution from others including Gildart made it worse.

It's a tough physical sport, niggle is a part of the game. $hit happens.

Wigan are without peer the number one advocates of the niggle and bullying and rough housing in the whole comp.

Wigan fans crying foul is just very amusing tonight! But not unexpected.

He was a typical modern full back, he played a fair bit in the halves. He has great attacking skills, but it seems we don't use our full back in the same way other teams do.

We only needed a very average performance to beat a depleted Wigan team tonight. Considering we had a full team, and they were missing 6/7 first teamers , plus losing the centre in the second half , and yet after 67 minutes , we only had a 2 point lead - we have a long way to go.
Our pack could not get on top - as everybody has said , the picking of only 3 props was brainless as was Ferres - a terrible tackle and he deserves the 2/4 match ban that he will get.
No doubting Abbo , Watkins & Moon were good , but we are making so many unforced errors, and how long before every team cottons on to the fact that if you kick to Briscoe all night , you will have success - he is an accident waiting to happen - see Wigan`s last try.

He's a great character, and it's refreshing to see a player who doesn't 5hit himself in front of the camera.

Was very entertaining at the analysis screen post match with Jon Wells - not a lot of analysis which made a nice change.

Good one liner about getting under the sticks so he can kick the conversion.

i miust have seen a different game to you then, seemed a lot of quick ptb from us in the second half to me

ill have to watch it back but seemed like Watkins could have had another try (did it come off his knees or hands?), and we gifted then 6 points in the second half - score line could have easily been bigger winning margin for us and that with all the errors we made.

and also i wouldnt say we had a full team tonight, since Galloway, Singleton and Ward would all probably be in when fit

decent win, even if we made harder work of it than we should have

Decent performance from you lot tonight, I think you will be there abouts come the end of the season. Barring the castleford game I think you look quite solid, but your possibly missing a star player to win silverware.



So basically what your saying is Gildart injured himself by trying to gain yards. I might be blinkered but I can't get my head around that.

You mean their last try that came from us passing around and had nothing to do with a Wigan kick???

Yes I'm totally saying it's all Gildarts fault!

I'm not saying that at all numpty. Read my post in full instead of cherry picking one sentence. Galdart play a part in it. As did the lads helping Ferres in the tackle. Ferres new what he was doing.

But in terms of crusher tackles I've seen a lot worse.

Wigan have consistently being the most grubby team for the best part of the last 10 years so what go around come around. Wane has track record of his players with crushers, cannonballs and chicken wings. Something he kept from the Madge legacy.
