What an effort.
For an "after Easter" game, where our 17 have outperformed their 20......
.....and before anybody starts, I'm not including the extra 3 as the officials....NO. I actually thought (bar the non knock on by Gidley) they had a good game....
the extra 3, were on the commentary gantry.
Hemmings had to wipe himself down, after Wigan's first try in the second half. It was almost akin to the big lead we had against Stain in Manchester Magic about 3 years ago. Stains scored a couple, and he screams THE COMEBACK'S ON. We absorb their pressure, and we see the game out.
The housewife's choice (Carney), made his mind up after 10 seconds of the game starting, that we were going to interfere, all game. No, Brian. Then in the second half, convinced himself that Wigan were the side in the ascendency, after the first set of 6 in the second half. Very quiet from 65 mins, onwards.
O'Connor didn't even realise that there was two sides on the pitch. All he talked about all night was Wigan.
PATHETIC, PATHETIC, PATHETIC BIASED COMMENTARY
Fair play to Clarke. Gave us praise, the whole game through.
Anyway
I've taken my Tramadol, and calmed down.
Superb from 1 -17 from us, despite the injury adversity in the first half.
Disappointing to see the anti-Penny brigade out, whilst the game was on. He tried to claim the ball, it came ose, and they scored. IT HAPPENS. Don't destroy the lad for it. I dare say Johns, Langer, Meninga, Daley etc, have done it, plenty of times.
Great industry from the pack.
Sandow (despite the injury) is the Messiah.......I should know, I've followed a few
Evans.....oh no. I like the lad. He's class, but......(you know the rest)
Despicable from Farrell (who's a good player), on Ratchford, but, typical Wigan from the 80s/90's when they were getting a beating...resort to poohouse tactics
finally, looking 13 miles north, Manfredi......
......he's a bit good, too
