would be happy with any of murphy, blackmore, mcgillvary , broughton to get the wing spots.

lawrence has to come back, id put him in for patrick/chan or taai aslong as he is in. Patrick is not great in defence but good in attack. Bailey off the bench, all depends on the way anderson wants to play against wigan..will he get it right? got it wrong v saints.

or maybe we should just pick the same 17 that played the first game of the season, probably our best performance!

much improved performance last night as i said few week ago get robbo at hooker!! What an impact the 4 subs made and Johnson impressed me a lot! Broughy needs to sort his kicking out been poor recently! MOM for me bailey followed by Ferres! Bring on Leeds

A lot of Wigan fans on here and social media blaming the ref for their loss. I thought their youngsters looked jaded in the second half- one game too many for them and our change in personnel was the trick needed to give us a bit of a boost. They made too many handling errors at crucial times. Hope we keep robbo and Lunt and 9. And bailey and Lawrence have to play. Still improvements to be had but can't fault the effort.

well done paul anderson! got the tactics/bench spot on last night, big decision leaving chan and koppy out for a game against the champions, but it worked, especially with robbo starting at 9 and lunt coming off the bench.
the starting props didn't let us down and the workrate and effort was there, but the introduction of crabtree,patrick and ta'ai was a masterstroke and we soon got on top.
i have always thought Eorl is a far better player coming off the bench than a starting prop, he was like the old Eorl crabtree last night...
the biggest difference for me was bailey and lawrence, we looked a totally different team with those 2 defensive machines in the middle as opposed to koppy's hopeful grabs.
i thought bailey was superb in both attack and defence,brough was back to his best and again we showed how bloody lethal our edges can be in attack when we bother using them.

the intensity and effort last night was far better than anything else we've seen this season and it showed.

although the first 20 minutes we were poor defensively again, falling off tackles etc, not hitting hard enough or wrapping the ball up and we got done for it,after that we worked our socks off and got a great result.

funny how all last week was about how great and brilliant and awesome wigan's kids are etc after they beat a poor salford side, but this week it's a case of they had too many injuries, a bridge too far for their kids etc, they were beaten by a better side simple as, they could beat cas next week and they will be world beaters again, how fickle some sections of the media are eh?

Only just got to see game.

Much more like it. Even in the wobbly opening 15 minutes our attempt to get quick ptbs and to get stuck in was a breath of fresh air.

The bench was awesome. Real power and intent. Thought Johnson went well, not the finished article but great effort. Eoarl better off the bench for me. Prefer faiumu off the bench long term.

Robbo at 9 with Lunt is hopefully something PA now sticks with. Trio of Bruno - Bailey - ferres the starting back row now, tough as teak, with creativity too.

Chuffed to after watching that. I'll give it a day or two and watch it again.
