Thought their pack looked awful tonight if they play like that this year they will struggle.

We looked strong tonight in the forwards, best have seen in a long time and that was a friendly!

Just my thoughts!

Kingy

That was right in front of me. There was no knock on he caught it. Brilliant piece of skill

Haha.

That's interesting because I spoke to 2 mates and my Uncle after the game who were all stood in the Wigan end (not together.) They all said it was a clear knock on.

Great performance last night especially the kids in the second half. All of the forwards played well especially the props. Taylor was outstanding. Burgess excellent. Smith was my MoM. Just a worry and it's obviously too early but Bowen was dreadful. The attacking threat picked up when Hampshire came on. I'm not sure what to make of it because it wasn't really a friendly both teams gave everything. Look at the reaction of the players to our last try. I think that Wigan got exactly what was needed from the game. A good run out against committed opponents

I am not judging because his pedigree is without question but - Am I the only one worried about Bowen on last nights evidence?

We'll know for sure when it gets uploaded to Wigan tv. Anyone know when that's meant to be btw?

He did have a poor game but he was on debut, I'm sure he'll pick up. If he's poor against Hudds as well I'd probably give him amd Hampshire half a game each v NZ and play the better of the two in the WCC

I agree. Hampshire will push for a place. My worry is that we've brought this guy over and we have to play him, really it wouldn't be fair to him not to give him a dozen games or so. But on last nights evidence he could be finished. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. I hope so.

Did anyone get a good look at the incident that led to Walsh leaving the field? IMO Flower nailed him with a cheap shot. Can incidents in friendlies be reviewed?

It was right in line with us and my initial reaction was that he collided with Amor. Nathan Brown has said he is unhappy with it though so maybe I missed something. I'm sure if it was serious then there could be some retrospective action.

Brown moaning? Never.

Frustration at normal service being resumed I'd guess.
