Nothing they can do about that, bar bring the kids in from the academy. Very frustrating however, they are very average as far as Wigan sides go, I'd have us 20 up if we had two halfbacks.

How has George Williams got man of the match? One good kick? Hampshire was better.

Maybe. Maybe not. But I don't think it was the deciding factor.

If we ever get Walsh and Burns on the pitch at the same time, though, with these forwards, then we'll be very hard to stop.

We get Walsh and Burns on the pitch at the same time and it'll be our forwards who all get injured.

I'm finding our swathes of injuries tiresome. They are ruining every season.

Apart from last season




Being serious tho, we ain't the only team that get injuries. Every team has them and some worse than orhers at different stages of the season. We having a bad one at the moment but that's rugby.

If you consider we had lomax, percy, burns, walsh, Wilkin and Vea missing today, we still had a decent team out. That team beats 70% of teams in super league Imo.

Plenty to be positive about still. The pack is awesome and there was nothing in it, Wigan scoring from a charge down and a kick. Defense was outstanding, forwards were too. I thought Lance had a decent showing as well. It was about as good as was possible from us. We were reliant on Wigan having a bad day and to be fair they didn't. Their commitment was total and their line speed and numbers into the tackle were superb and ultimately what won it for them. I thought LMS had a great game, only really Richards who did anything wrong in the pack.

In terms of KC v Wane, Wane on points I feel today. He had to stop our pack and he did, the line speed was key. Had we had two halfbacks that tactic would have left acres of room on the fringes. KC couldn't really do anything about it as we just didn't have the men to do it.

The only question mark I'd raise today was Wello's selection. I can understand him playing when we've got a lot of injuries, but it was clear from the kick off that he was unable to make any kind of contribution to the game. When that kick was blocked he literally couldn't move. It meant we had Makinson defending the kicks at fullback until Wello went off, and we carried him like that until he went off. Are there really no backs in the academy that could play?

Wello needs a op. He put his hand up to play today as we was bodies down. Roby was same, he had painkilling injection to play.
