| Thought Rocky Hampshire was your best player today. Friendlies are hard to judge but what did you make of Leigh? We had 5/6 first teamers missing ourselves but I thought our pack matched yours. Good tough game all in all.

| I was always in the Rocky at 1 camp, effectively ST mkII, but after today he may well be our best option at 6. My only worry about Hampshire is if he's targetted in defence he may struggle whereas Powell and Williams have proved they're comfortable making 30+ tackles a game. I've always thought Williams is the best interchange 9 option, as he offers something different as a running option whereas Powell and Logan are just distributors but less effective than McIlorum and without the tough defence. Back-up FB is a worry because Hampshire is dodgy at best under the high ball and Tierney is a complete liability.
Anyone know when Sarg and Gelling are meant to be back? It would be good to go into the Saints friendly with a first-choice backline.

| Sarge is surely the man as a replacement full-back option?

| Sarginson is the best option at full back IMO. But that creates problems at Centre, especially if Thornley is injured. Gildart looks quick but his defence was exposed time and again. I'm sure this will improve in time though.
There was plenty of evidence yesterday for those who consider Hampshire to be stand off not a full back. He was poor under the high ball and his defence looks weak. But bad as he was in the first half at the beginning of the second he was excellent, when he moved to stand off.
I also think that Logan showed up well. Also a word for Sutton who looked the part.

Very impressed with Leigh. Played some expansive rugby, not easy in those conditions. There was a period in the second half when you couldn't get out of your own twenty when Wigan should have scored two or three but bombed the chances. I was surprised that you ended the game so strongly.
You deserved the win in the end. Must be favourites for the Super League next year. I would fancy your chances against many Super League sides after the performance in the Cup at Leeds and I would have thought that Wakey in particular, would be very worried.

Hampshire is the most exiting talent at halfback I have seen emerge at Wigan since I started watching Wigan in 1953/54.

That's a brave view at this point, I do see some greatness there but I'm waiting to see him get more game time this year.

Fully agree with all that. A strong pack, and I liked the look of your halves, too.

| The more I watch Rocky play fullback the more I think he's wasted. He's so much better attacking the line at stand off as shown yesterday that injection of pace causes havoc. He's not the tallest either so struggles under the high ball

We were our own worst enemy at times early in that 2 nd half, not sure we completed a set for 20 minutes with some daft plays ( running into touch 3 times, not to mention Penkys missed touchline kick )
Having said that your kids did inject some pace which caught us out at times, and much as I dont like Mr Wane, he should be congratulated for following your policy of blooding kids
A good game
