| As much as Warrington were poor Wigan were good tonight. All the experienced players turned up and played well. Young Marshall will get the headlines for 4 tries but SOL, Tommy L, Tomkins and Farrell were very good.
One thing that really surprised me was Gidley's performance (or lack of). He was shocking and looked scared to get tackled. Clark was Warrington's only real threat.

When you say Tompkins I presume you mean Williams?

No I think he meant Tomkins - of the Joel variety - he was excellent tonight. But obviously it goes without saying Williams is a gem.

Didn't notice him to be honest, though Williams, Escare and Farrell were the pick of the players in an alround excellent performance.

| Escare was brilliant in attack and I thought that Navarette had some nice touches. The French players are adding some Gallic variety and continental class to the strong Wigan lineup.

| Escare has just been a revalation for us. I expected a fumbling, defensively poor, suppport play machine and we've got a lad who has been the complete opppsite. He's been rock solid, is linking the play nicely and his kicking out of hand has just been fantastic.
I was really impressed with Navarette tonight as well. He is so aggressive in everything he does and as soon as Wigan's conditioning team have got him fitter and stronger we should have a good player on our hands.
I'm enjoying watching George Williams in a Wigan shirt whilst I still can. I'm told he's going down under for 2018 so performances like last night need to be appreciated.

| I see Williams is struggling without Matty Smith at his side as a steadying influence.

| Never realised Liam Farrell had so much pace. Even Clark couldn't catch him!

Both those players have always had the attacking skills. However the improvement of those two players at Wigan, especially Escare's defence, is a tribute to the Wigan coaching staff.

[quote="FlexWheeler":8f22o6ue]The extent of his coaching is ''BASH EM, JUST F*CKING BASH EM. HE'S LOW ON CONFIDENCE, BASH HIM''
He's a limited coach that won't last long term.[/quote:8f22o6ue]
....
[quote="rubber duckie":8f22o6ue]That would make Wigan strong favourites then. With Ratchford at FB and Patton with Cronk in the halves, I think we'll do very well without Sam.[/quote:8f22o6ue]: |

Both Farrell and Tomkins were awesome in the 2nd row last night. Tomkins defence was electrifying.

No, Joel. I thought the experienced heads all played well.

If so, rest assured, it won't be to your club.
