We really arent off our best squad i know we have a few missing but really need to start playing better with who we have out there. i can accept loosing but not how bad we look, both hull and warrington was winnable games but the standard we delivered was awful.

great to get the season up and running ... at wigan and on sky tv to boot!!!

wigan were dreeadful and we should have won by more but i dont care its a win and a boost for everyone.

standouts were leeming who had a big performance, he can do that but doesnt do it enough!!!!

joe wardle and murphy

also gaskell and frawley with a good kicking game and frawley also diffused two high attacking kicks from wigan

great night for those that went!

deary me

yep agreed

least uate has an excuse coming back from an injury

Those stats are particularly bad though. The modern winger should be one of the main ball carriers, and there are plenty of free yards to be had from kick returns and from scooting off the back of quick play the balls. In fact when I saw that I went and had a look at all of the wingers stats from Friday. Carries in brackets.

Faraimo: 131 (16)
Naulago: 63 (10)
Briscoe: 71 (9)
Handley: 79 (10)
Makinson: 119 (15)
Grace: 106 (15)
Kear: 89 (14)
Williams: 90 (16)
Escare: 73 (9) - Started on bench
Mcgillvary: 206 (22)
Uate: 31 (9)

I haven't included Marshall or Manfredi since they went off injured in the first half.

So he had the joint lowest number of carries and his yards per carry were pretty much half (or less) what everyone else managed. That is really poor for a player of his reputation.

Anyway, it's nothing to do with me really, I was just really surprised by how poor those numbers were, I wouldn't be impressed if I was a Huddersfield fan.

Congrats on the win, hope you can start to claw your way out of the danger zone now. We look a completely different animal after breaking our losing run and gaining a bit of confidence. Hope you can do the same.
