Quote: Father Ted "Did Wigan target the right edge defence due to JM or because they knew Bridge was a long way from fully fit and wasn't fully mobile.
Smith's team selection hinted Bridge was in trouble with him including Russell instead of Wood.'"


Let's be honest, both of Warrington's wingers can be a bit iffy in defence. Why did Widnes target Evans over Monaghan? During the league defeat to Wigan, Charnley and Gelling were rampant during that second half against Evans. Wingers can have off days, they make errors in judgement just like every other player; unfortunately they're a bit like goalkeepers in the sense that, if they do make a mistake, it's often the costliest.

Quote: CW8 "Joel has been terrific since he joined us, his pace doesn't worry me but his knack of scoring tries almost certainly worries every team who play us. His defence is good as well he reads the game well and has saved us on a fair few occasions this season.

I personally think that Wigan targeted our right hand side because young burgess plays on that edge and he is a real danger, I must say he won me over on Friday I think he is going to be a real star for the pies and England in the future.'"


Yes ,unfortunately Wigan are lethal with both wingers now, Josh Charnley has been excellent ,but new kid on the block Joe Burgess is definitely one for the future & both home grown.

I'm genuinely curious about what is accepted as the correct approach to a winger defending a 2 on 1. Should he steam in on the ball carrier, hold off and go for the winger or go for the intercept?
Seems to me the chances of successfully defending in that position depends on either the attacking team stuffing up or the defender making a "lucky" choice. But I stand to be corrected.

The no1 rl rule of defence is follow the ball not the player.

If that happens the defensive slide has failed. All depends on if you trust your inside defenders to make the right choice.

He's a great try scorer. His try scoring record is better than most wingers no matter the era. I must admit though for a lad his size he's not the strongest ball carrier in the world.
