Couldn't agree more. Win lose or draw, as long as the effort is there then I'll be happy. Carry that on through the season and the results will come.

Sounds like you're doing well after a slow start. Come on Fartown!

Yep good recovery by Huddersfield, seem to be scoring with ease now.

Great listening on the radio.

Well done tonight.

That'll diddly do! Same again Thursday- apart from first 15 minutes.

Bailey MoM for me. Jerry showed great minerals given he's clearly not fit.

Not sure what Wane is on about with his Radio Manchester quotes regarding ruck speed seeing Wigan were the ones slowing us down and we only really started to get anywhere when we got quicker PTB's but he does like to make veiled comments in amongst dishing out his credit as we know.

We still started poorly though. Larne, Eorl & Bailey coming on changed the tempo of the game. Larne brought energy and Bailey drew in defenders and things opened up. Far from perfect but we looked far more up for it than last week.

bailey had a very good game mom for me . the game just like our season bad start a very good 20 mins . have the game won let wigan back into the game.we now need to push on now, we won a wigan under 21 side tonight don't get to carried away we did get a couple of lucky dissensions tonight

Agree Bailey had a top game but he was on from the start. I thought all four subs went well and was great to see Robinson back at hooker. Also great to see LWrence back and playing 80 minutes and I think sky said he made nearly 50 tackles

Yes, Bailey moved from a 2nd row playing 13 type role to a 6/13 when Robbo went off IIRC. Played very smart and defended well when called upon. Thought Bruno did very well apart from a couple of silly penalties. By no means a perfect performance but something to build on.

Sorry, my bad. But it was like he was a sub as all of a sudden he was more involved.

Bailey 6 and Brough 7 for me....

Brough 6 woody 7 bailey 13

Delighted to be proved wrong! I said I fully expected to be beaten and when I saw the starting line up I feared the worst even more!
I know we started slowly again but I still thought be we better for the first 20mins that at any time in the last few weeks and when it went to 12-0 instead of collapsing, which would have been very easy to do after the Saints debacle, we really stepped up as a team. I'm really proud of that performance - I know it doesn't mean all our problems are solved and I'm really not interested in whether it was a game to far for Wigan's youngsters or not - I'm just delighted at our attitude and response.
One minor gripe - why on Earth have we decided to no longer compete offensively or defensively for high balls?

I thought Grix really struggled at times and needs to up his game, is Jake Connor still injured ?

I'm not sure I agree. He gets a lot of stick for things that look like they are PA tactics rather than being a Grix weakness - for example it's clearly a tactic for him to give the ball to one of his wingers rather than return it himself, but Grix get's stick every time he hands it off.

His kicking wasn't great last night but nor was Danny's initially and nor was Robbo's. I think he's where most of squad would be graded at the moment - 'Could Do Better'.

I think Connor is out for a good while yet.

Bailey and Bruno made 80 tackles between them last night- that's what has been missing from our side! Robbo at hooker have us a bit of extra something too. Still a few players not up to their best but hopefully that'll happen soon. As my lad calls them a "ferres special" and a "Lunt special" helped us along our way.
