From my viewing point it looked like he got some knees to the back from Joel Tomkins.

That's exactly what it was. It happened in front of the West Stand. Those of us in the West Stand who saw it made our feelings known at the time!

What was the attendance ?

6888, I read.

You were right. Fair play to you.

Yes. Correct.

Your props bossed ours. The fact that Wigan gave a better display in the second half meant nothing, because the game was over at half time. The final score flattered us.

For me it was an embarrassment. Whilst the result is meaningless the performance certainly isn't. If I were Shaun Wane I'd be very worried because Wigan took no positives from the game.

I'll be honest mate, I was surprised at how weak and flat you looked. Your forwards made very little ground and the majority of Smith's kicks came from his own half.

I suspect Wigan's pack will be a tougher prospect once Mossop, Flower, O'Loughlin and Tautai are in the lineup.

I said to Brian on one of our threads that is be worried if I was a Wigan fan with their front row.

Looks small, weak and lacks any quality. Clubb and Crosby are decent but just your average run of the mill props. Flower won't be seen until April and then needs to get match fit and mossop is injury prone.

Mossop and o'loughlin are both injury prone.

True.
