i clicked on the winamp link... it downloaded a file to my pc which i opened in winamp.

Wire 18-24 Wigan FT

Att:5757

cant use most of the links on their, because im on a mac, can only use the itunes one! and that worked fine until it cut me off at ht! lol

To be honest I think Wire gave that game away. They could easily have outscored Wigan with the chances they had. Wigan had four chances and took them. Still it's only a friendly

i agree, i mean its not like we got stuffed by huddersfield!

friendly games mean virtually nothing.... especially this close to the start of the season.

that doesn't mean positives cant be taken from them.

sounds like some of wigans new lads had a good run out... they will be happy with lima for example.

and we have seen that hodgson is probably the best goalkicker in superleague.

bring on the season



i cant wait !!

Was it a full team for you fellas tonight or was there a few missing? Think we have done alright with the players we have out, sounds like our defence was good under your pressure.

Good for both teams i imagine.

I always feel in a friendly it pays to play the best available opposition, can't complain with that im sure Maguire and Smith will get more out of it then the other friendlies.

Sounds like it had a more competitive edge to it anyway.

Teams were

Brett Hodgson, Matt King, Chris Bridge, Ryan Atkins, Joel Monaghan, Lee Briers, Richie Myler, Adrian Morley, Jon Clarke, Ben Harrison, Louis Anderson, Ben Westwood, Simon Grix

Replacements - Michael Monaghan, Mike Cooper, David Solomona, Rhys Williams, Mickey Higham, Tyrone McCarthy, Lee Mitchell, Matty Blythe

Amos Roberts, Darrell Goulding, Stefan Marsh, Joel Tomkins, George Carmont, Paul Deacon, Thomas Leuluai, Paul Prescott, Michael McIlorum, Jeff Lima, Ryan Hoffman, Liam Farrell, Sean O'Loughlin

Replacements - Sam Tomkins, Andy Coley, Lee Mossop, Chris Tuson, Josh Charnley, Logan Tomkins.

Wood and Carvell missing for Warrington as far as i can tell. Wigan were missing Gleeson, Fielden, Hansen, Finch and Richards

For a friendly, it was very competitive indeed. Good game, and a great attendence despite it being a midweek evening game.

Wire struggled to make metres at times whereas Wigan were using the flanks really well and making good strides with consumate ease. Sam Tomkins had a great game, was putting us to the sword quite a few times with his jinking runs. Fair few missed tackles by Wire, but you do get them in a friendly. Couple of missed penalty kicks into touch as well, which was pretty poor to see, but I'll blame that on the bitter wind blowing around the stadium!

Still overall I'm not worried about the result, think both teams gave a good account of themselves, great to see CLarkey get in at the end, and really can't wait for the season to start now.

Couple of idiots at the end of the game, one saying that the ref didn't help and how he was a "bald w*****" and the other said that "Joel was crap and should pack up back to Oz". It was a friendly FFS. Monas jnr wasn't at his best, and I thought Bentham had a pretty decent game. Let it flow most of the time and wasn't whistle happy.

sam tomkins will have an amazing season.... MOS beckons for him in my opinion.

might have a bet on that.... anyone know the odds?
