Quote: Rogues Gallery "That was a great game that could have gone either way. Both sides lacked a bit of composure in the last 10 minutes. Had Lee Briers still been playing Wire would have won. Had Sam Tomkins been playing Wigan would have won with a few more.

Tomkins never really did much against us. I did think at deadlock going in to the closing minutes this is the point of the season where we will feel the loss of Briers, as if he'd been in the team he would have most likely hit a drop goal from anything up to 40 yards.
However you have to say credit to O'Loughlin for going for the try out wide, it's one of those things where it should look obvious that when a team is crowding in focusing on a kicker there could be opportunities out wide but in that pressure situation not many players would have the balls to do it.
Once again O'Loughlin comes up with a play in a big situation, and remains underrated by many, same story as Sinfield really.
